Question: Is there anything else I should be doing after changing the dbms configuration? Any thoughts on what could be the cause of visual glitches?
Longer Story: This morning my board went down with a general error message:
Code: Select all
'mysql_connect function does not exist, is mysql extension installed'
- Changed the dbms setting in config.php to use 'mysqli' (eg changed to
Code: Select all
$dbms = 'mysql';
Code: Select all
$dbms = 'mysqli';
- Cleared board cache
There appear to be a few visual glitches after the board came back up (nothing to my knowledge has changed aside from those changes above)
- The header where quick links, FAQ, private messages, etc...has lost any sense of organization and all items appear to be flattened onto left side
- The board lists have lost the circular icon on left of board lists
Was this the appropriate course of action? Any thoughts on how to rectify? (I would prefer to retain mysqli in the long run)
Phpbb3 Version 3.2.2
EDIT: The host indeed changed php configuration, and has reverted for fix but my question still stands as I'd like to use mysqli given the deprecated/removal status of 'mysql'
