phpMyFAQ

Hi,
I've sucessfully migrated my phpmyfaq application (version 1.6.6) from an old Windows2000 server to one ubutntu server.
I would like to also upgrade this application to the last version.
After phpmyfaq was completly running on my ubuntu, I tried to upgrade firstly to 2.0.17 version.(my goal is to run the last version)
As mentionned, I delete all file in the faq directory (exept the data.php and config.php and the template directory) et copying all new files and run the 'faq/install/update.php' web page.
All is working fine to the step 4. During the step 5 I receive an error messages:

Fatal error: Invalid Database Type in /var/www/faq/inc/Db.php on line 43

How can I solve this issue ?

thank you

Hi,

which type do you have in your data.php file? Which PHP MySQL extension are using? mysql or mysqli?

Hi Thorsten,

Thank you to take my problem in consideration!
The type in my data.php file is mysql , and on my ubuntu server I'm running mysql 5.0.51

Hi Thorsten

I've solve my issue...
In fact the paramaters in the 'data.php' file was still the parameters of my old Windows server.
When I set the new values ( my new ubuntu server) in this file all is working fine.

I've also successfully upgrated it to 2.6.17.

Thank you for your support.
