UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads Installation and Upgrade Support Changed server name - now get error

After installing and testing ubb we changed the server name and IP address to get it into production but now I get
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ubb\libs\mysql.inc.php on line 44.
So I manually put entries into Database_Server Database_User and Database_Password but still get the error. MySQL service loads fine and the 'ubbthreads' database I previously created is there. Thanks.

Something in the DNS name to the SQL server wrong? Maybe add the SQL server as ip adres for now?

I think you mean to add it into the Database_server field in the mysql.inc.php file? I tried it. The error message never changes no matter what I enter in those fields. Because there's other MS SQL server databases I had to enter the old server name into the HOSTS file for the other databases to work, but didn't do anything for this.

no, all you do is simply change config.inc.php

nothing else needs to be modified.

i do this all the time with a development server vs the live version.

i actually just have config.inc-LOCAL.php and config.inc-WEB.php and copy whichever one i need to config.inc.php for ease of switching.

You can connect to the database with something like phpmyadmin?

You actually have the problem in bold:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ubb\libs\mysql.inc.php on line 44.

Basically that means that on the server you are now on, mysql_connect() isn't available to PHP. You'll need to check your php.ini file on the new server and make sure the mysql settings aren't commented out.
