Trouble updating OJS into XAMPP

Software Support
1

Hi there. I am doing the procedure of updating my OJS from 3.1.1.4 to last one (3.1.2-4). Put all new files into xampp htdocs, copied the necessary files and directories and put the old database on xampp`s mysql. Changed the user and pass in config.inc.php. However, i am getting this error during upgrade:

> Warning: Declaration of InstallHandler::validate($request) should be compatible with PKPHandler::validate($requiredContexts = NULL, $request = NULL) in C:\xampp\htdocs\ojs\lib\pkp\pages\install\InstallHandler.inc.php on line 120

I supposed this is an error of connection with the database, but i have tried all solutions and nothing. Any light on my problem will be very nice.

Thanks OJS community!

Error fixed. The problem (for the adventurers that come after the solution) is that my previous database was mysql and the new version of php works with mysqli, so you have to change in config.inc.php the drive to “mysqli”.
