I just did an upgrade to the latest version of ECT for genematras.com and now seeing this error when trying to get back in the admin area:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_query() in /home/genematr/public_html/vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php:1917 Stack trace: #0 /home/genematr/public_html/vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php(114): ect_query('SELECT adminLog...') #1 /home/genematr/public_html/vsadmin/inc/incloginfunctions.php(21): getadminsettings() #2 /home/genematr/public_html/vsadmin/admin.php(15): include('/home/genematr/...') #3 {main} thrown in /home/genematr/public_html/vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php on line 1917

Any suggestions on what might be causing this?

Also, there is no reason the latest version of ECT won't run under PHP 8.x, correct?

In testing further, the site loads under PHP 5.6 but attempts to upgrade to anything higher causes an error. Even going up to 7.0 yields this:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_query() in /home/genematr/public_html/vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php:1917 Stack trace: #0 /home/genematr/public_html/vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php(114): ect_query('SELECT adminLog...') #1 /home/genematr/public_html/vsadmin/inc/incloginfunctions.php(21): getadminsettings() #2 /home/genematr/public_html/vsadmin/admin.php(15): include('/home/genematr/...') #3 {main} thrown in /home/genematr/public_html/vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php on line 1917

Hi Link
There are a few changes you need to perform for PHP 7 and above and these are listed here...

Once these things are taken care of the site should work with all supported versions of PHP.

Thanks Vince. That did the trick. It was the db_conn_open.php file that needed to be updated.

So site is back up. I've got a 3rd party plugin on the home page tossing a new error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_select_db() in /home/genematr/public_html/dynamicdisplay.php:38 Stack trace: #0 /home/genematr/public_html/index.php(73): include() #1 {main} thrown in /home/genematr/public_html/dynamicdisplay.php on line 38

Any thoughts on how to tweak this one?

Hi Link
I think the database connections there would need to be updated to use mySQLi and is it possible that those who you get the script from have an updated version? If not, we can be hired by the hour and this doesn't sound like a job that would take more than one. Each hour is one of these:

I'm moving another ECT web site and having some issues.

https://mountainwanderer.com/

I did update the first and last lines for the db_connect file and that first the first error message but I am not able to get in to the admin area or see any of the content pages.

Chrome shows a Server 500 error? That's not a permissions issue, is it?

Hi Link
Can you get an idea from the server logs what the actual error message is? That would normally give a clue to the problem.
Also look in the includes.php file that the opening and closing tags are <?php . . . ?> and not <script>
And make sure the database connection type has been changed to mySQLi
