I am out of ideas you will need to wait for support to respond, unfotunately it's a holiday in US today. Do you have ticket support?

[Sergio68]

Holiday? I guess I'm out of luck, LOL.
I didn't still have opened a ticket, I have no idea if I'm entitled to support, I'm a licensed customer, I hope I can
Do you know where I can do?

I will submit a ticket as soon as they send me the password that I forgot.
Thank you very much for your time Donald, have a nice day.

We still don't know the actual database error that is behind all this. Until we see that, it's difficult to advise.

However in the first instance you need to be running php 5.4, not 5.5. vB4.2.2 is not certified for php 5.5 at this time.

[Sergio68]

That's bad because I need to RUN a Magento store with OptCache from the new 5.5 PHP. Since now I've a test.bodyweb.com website I'll try to fix the mysql error first then see what can be done.
I'm still waiting for the password to enter into the members zone. Do you think the password recovery system is suspended for the holiday?

OMG http://php.net/function.mysql-connect

[Sergio68]

In the config.php files I just need to change "mysql" with "mysqli".

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

"Solved"....may be.

[Mark.B]

That won't matter, it's only deprecated, not removed. Besides you can just specifiy mysqli instead, in the config.php file.

We need the database error though...raising a support ticket isn't going to get round that.You need to do two things:

1. Run php 5.4 not php 5.5 - we are not going to be able to get vB4 to work on php 5.5 for you, it has not been certified.
2. Obtain the actual database error...it will be a MySQL error. Your hosts should be able to help with this, if the forum has not emailed it to you. If you're logged in as an admin you can also try Right Click > View Source on the error.

Hi Mark, as I said, I tried and that was the problem, I changed to "mysqli" and now it's working, please have a look : http://test.bodyweb.com

Good news having the wrong type of database is the same as having no database at all, hence the no database type error. The new server must be configured to run mysqli only while most will run either.
