DB connection fails in 1.3.20 after upgrade to PHP 7.3.25

Post by immerso »

I run a Mantis 1.3.20 installation (and would like to keep that, because I am used to the classical design).
Suddenly I get the "APPLICATION ERROR #400": PHP Support for database is not enabled.

Probably this has to do with a PHP upgrade from the hoster. PhpMyAdmin says:
Server-Type: MariaDB
Server-Version: 10.3.27-MariaDB-0+deb10u1 - Debian 10
PHP-Extension: mysqli
PHP-Version: 7.3.25


In config_inc.php, I have already:
$g_db_type = 'mysqli';

Any ideas? It worked fine until yesterday.

Sorry, the values in PhpMyAdmin refer to the server on which that runs, which is not the same as my webserver. Phpinfo() for that server says:
PHP Version 7.3.19-1~deb10u1

Phpinfo() also states:
Build Date Jul 5 2020 06:46:45
but I am not sure whether this has something to do with when the actual update took place. I just assume that they did a PHP update yesterday, because until then everything worked and I can't imagine any other reason.

Your provider has to activate the mysqli extension.
