I have long delayed upgrading my website and now a bit confused how to get from here to there...
I think my host may have upgrade the PHP which has now caused issues (I should say more issues) in which my site no longer works....
I get the white screen and error message "Call to undefined function: mysql_connect(). Please install the MySQL Connector for PHP"
the site is apparel-printers.com
the way I have it set up is a html landing page with a link to the online store area which is a sub-directory with the ZC script where everything happens...
I am pretty sure the version is 1.3.9h and I say that because I can not access the site but I went through the Cpanel and looked at the version.php file under the original install directory...
what I tried to do was install the latest version which I had some problems doing and ended up doing through the automated process in Cpanel...
when trying to upload the files myself and doing the install I had issues accessing the database which I couldn't figure why...
I double checked everything as far as user name, database name, password, and permissions and everything seemed to be in check however I kept getting the error "Problems with Database Connection 1045:Access denied for user 'apparvuc_apshop'@'162.222.227.252' (using password: YES)" when trying to install...
this is located at public_html/store....
after several attempts and walking away then coming back at a later time and several more attempts and verifying info, all with no luck, that is when I tried the install with the softaculous install in Cpanel which all went well...
at that point I exported the database from the store I had been running and loaded it to the new database...
I'm sure those of you that are in the know, know that this does not work...
I have been looking around and don't seem to find/recognize how to get the new store setup to read the uploaded data files...
looking at the structure, I see that the new setup has different names than what I had uploaded and I suspect this is the reason the new site is not registering the info from the imported files...
so at this point I'm not sure if I should delete the new install and database and user and start over all together or if I can somehow get the info from for example the sessions file to the zenui_sessions file or what exactly would be the easiest way to get the new store up and running with all the history accessible there...
currently the structure is as public_html/estore for the store front I have been running which doesn't work...
I think it could be back up and running relative easy if I get the host to implement an older version of PHP however I have several other issues that I have just been working around that I need to get working again...
I would rather just go with the new version ZC 1.5.7 and be up to date on everything...
the current version is located at public_html/zstore and I have basically done nothing but install ZC and try to import the database...
no modifications have been made at this point so to delete and start from scratch wouldn't be a waste of earlier efforts...
so basically I am looking for advise/directions for best/easiest way getting an old store 1.3.9h up to 1.5.7 with all the history, products, attributes and etc...
using the new directory is not an issue due to the domain landing page being a simple html page which I can easily just change the link to the store and be done...
again the website is apparel-printers.com...
the store I have been running is at apparel-printers.com/estore...
the failed attempt is at apparel-printers.com/store...
and the automated install using softaculous is at apparel-printers.com/zstore...
