nuBuilder Forum

good day i triing to install i have followed all the steps on https://www.nubuilder.net/downloads.php but when i try to open http://127.0.0.1/nubuilder/nuinstall.php i get error 500 on webpage unzip the files again but no luck any thoghts will be appreciated.

the only way to debug 500 errors is to check your web server logs to see the reasons for the error.

thanks for your help now i checked the log and it shows the following
[Thu Aug 25 13:12:27.095859 2016] [:error] [pid 2092:tid 916] [client 127.0.0.1:49326] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\\Apache24\\htdocs\\nubuilder\\nuinstall_lib.php on line 52

i assume that it could be because the config file is not right or unspecified information but i checked and i placed my user name and password as well as the database name wich im sure is correct will appreciate your help.

your version of php does not have php complied into it.

Hi Shane,

I am getting the same error during installation. I am using Xampp v 7.0.9 which runs PHP 7.0.9.

From my understanding, mysql_connect() was deprecated in php v5.something, and scrapped all together in v7, which I am assuming is the cause of this problem.

Is there a recommended version of PHP to use? Or another solution? From reading some docs on your website, nuBuilder supports php-pdo, however the version i downloaded (https://github.com/nuSoftware/nuBuilder ... master.zip) uses mysql_connect, and I see no way to change this.

If using an older version of PHP is the solution, is this a safe long term strategy, or will older versions become unsupported an insecure?

Or am i completely on the wrong track here?

Sorry, I really only know enough about this stuff to be dangerous.

Thanks
Nick

Same issue here. Error 500. New install on Ubuntu 16.04 using Apache 2.4 , MySQL 5.7 and PHP 7.0 (i.e. the standard repo versions).

The Apache2 error log does indeed point to a problem with my_sql_connect() as shown below;

[Sun Sep 18 07:05:57.748381 2016] [:error] [pid 9365] [client 127.0.0.1:35212] PHP Fatal error:

Hi Steven,

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have followed the example and the problem I encounter is the warning described here http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php. I wonder could the code verify PHP version before assuming version is < 7.0 and invoke mysqli_connect() when version >= PHP 7?

Thanks,
