Hello,

I recently installed a new version of ECT (7.2.6) and I'm having some trouble with PHP 7.4. Everything works with PHP 5.6 but when I upgrade, I get this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'mysqli' not found in /public_html/mysite.com/vsadmin/db_conn_open.php:10 Stack trace: #0 /public_html/mysite.com/index.php(5): include() #1 {main} thrown in /public_html/mysite.com/vsadmin/db_conn_open.php on line 10

Deprecated: Directive 'allow_url_include' is deprecated in Unknown on line 0

This is a complete new install and the db_conn_open.php is using the mysqli connection. I did copy an old database and run the update file on the on it but I don't think that would be causing this problem.

Any thoughts?
Josiah

This comes up often when switching to php 7+ from php 5+
There is a thread that covers it here - https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=107737

You likely need to update the db_conn_open file at least..

Hi David,

I actually saw that thread before posting here, but being a NEW version it is already changed to the <?php...

What else could this be?

Thanks,
Josiah

Hi Josiah
Can you check mysqli is enabled/installed on the server?
You can usually do that by uploading a php info file or ask the host

I just wanted to circle back around and say it was a server, database configuration issue.

Thanks for your help,
