Error after host upgraded php to 5.4

[flamedtofu]

Hey guys,

 

I'm recieving the following error after my host upgraded my site to php 5.4 to try to fix anouther problem.

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /home/xxxx/public_html/classes/db/MySQL.php on line 37

 

I can get into the admin panel without a problem.

 

i'm guessing there is a config file that perhaps needs updating? does anyone have any ideas to point me in the right direction?

Have you installed the mysql module correctly when upgrading php? Server specs?

i think that your hoster do did something wrong

it looks like mysql extension in your php aren't working well

But if you read what he says, his back office works properly, and his front office does not.

 

Let's rule out Prestashop. Create a file named mysqltest.php with the following content. Update the username, password and host variables appropriately. Place the file in the root directory of your website and then open the file using your browser (ie.. www.domain.com/mysqltest.php and see what happens. If this fails, then contact your hosting provider and report an issue, since it has nothing to do with Prestashop

 

<?php
$username = "your_name";
$password = "your_password";
$hostname = "localhost";

//connection to the database
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
 or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
echo "Connected to MySQL<br>";
?>
