Before you post your question, check out the user guides and video tutorials at PKP Docs and search the forum to see if someone else had the same question.

When you post your question give as much detail as possible, including the following:

  • Application Version - e.g., OJS 3.1.2
  • Description of issue
  • Steps you took leading up to the issue
  • What you tried to resolve the issue
  • Screenshots
  • Error log messages if applicable

You can post in any language, but please note there is a Spanish OJS forum and a German category on this forum.

Hi @makera,

Most probably you are using mysql_connect() with PHP 7+. Try switching to mysqli driver in config.inc.php.

[database]

driver = mysqli

Hi @Vitaliy,
Thanks for your response. I’ve tried switching as recommended but it still makes no difference. I really need help.

Hi @asmecher,
Please kindly take a look at this problem.

Hi @makera

When you make the adjustment that @Vitaliy suggested, what is the new error in your log?

Regards,
Jason

As @Vitaliy mentioned, please change your database connector from mysql to mysqli in your config.inc.php file. These are the same errors as before.

driver = mysqli

@jnugent and @Vitaliy thanks so much for your support. Although I changed the database connector from mysql to mysqli in the config.inc.php file as advised, I didn’t realise that I had to do same on the install page. Thanks once again for your support. It worked perfectly. msqli_screenshot
