Site has disappeared with Mysql error in its place

[rush_woman]

Can not get into Admin area and the site is replaced with the following:
Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in /home/content/D/r/a/Dragonsfly2112/html/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 177

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in /home/content/D/r/a/Dragonsfly2112/html/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 177

A customer just contacted me and told me the site was down.http://www.sacredshowers.com
I have no idea where to begin to fix this. I think I can get into the database through my hosting service.

Thank you for the help.

Found this by googling your error:

maybe it will point you in the right direction.

Thank you, Horrific. I will read through it because it sure does look like a very similar problem. Perhaps the hosting company recently updated its PHP because the site has been working well for 5 years and I have not even added new products recently.

Always makes me nervous to install new stuff but it clearly is not working right now so I will back up everything and then do the patches.

Many thanks,
Cheryl

I will back up everything and then do the patches.

Did you happen to read post#2 in that thread?

My only criticism of post #2 is that the blink tag was not used.

It is true that I need to upgrade my site. I have put that on my "to do" list in the next 90 days. For now, I will do the patches to get it up and running as my busiest season begins in about 10 days.

Thank you to everyone for contributions to my question.

I did the patch files. Down to 2 error messages when attempting to log into Admin:
Warning: require(includes/initsystem.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/D/r/a/Dragonsfly2112/html/*****/includes/application_top.php on line 126

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/initsystem.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5_3/lib/php') in /home/content/D/r/a/Dragonsfly2112/html/*****/includes/application_top.php on line 126

Suggestions? Going to double check I uploaded all files but I did check each off as I uploaded it and I double checked each was in the correct file. Only custom stuff I did was to alter the Admin name.

Thank you,

You have now published your admin name for all to see. Although I'm going to wipe it momentarily, you still need to change it (and be careful not to do that again).

[rush_woman]

Why thank you for cleaning that up for me and once the site is back up, I will change the admin. Right now, the site remains down.

Suggestions on how to clear those 2 errors? I am in process of searching the forum.

thank you,

My guess would be issues in admin/includes/configure.php. Wrong directory names/paths?
