Upgrade Problem - mysql_init ?

[moparsha]

I'm trying to upgrade from 3.0.7 to 3.8.7 right now.
When I Upload the new version and try to run:

http://www.XXXXXXX.com/forum/install/upgrade.php

I get an error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysqli_init() in /hermes/web04/b1765/as.moparsha/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 1128


BELOW is LINE 1128 in the class_core.php file.
function db_connect($servername, $port, $username, $password, $usepconnect, $configfile = '', $charset = '')
{
if (function_exists('catch_db_error'))
{
set_error_handler('catch_db_error');
}
1128-> $link = mysqli_init();
# Set Options Connection Options
if (!empty($configfile))
{
mysqli_options($link, MYSQLI_READ_DEFAULT_FILE, $configfile);
}

Any ideas?

In your config.php file find:

$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysqli'; 

Change it to

$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysql';

mysql / mysqli

Assuming the db info in your config.php file is correct, this is a server issue. Please see this page for the causes of this error:
