Calling Cole...tech support

[Halaster-Blackcloak]

Cole, the Back In Print forums (http://www.undermountain.org/forums/)were fine yesterday, then today this error comes up:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function set_magic_quotes_runtime() in /home2/undermou/public_html/forums/common.php:29 Stack trace: #0 /home2/undermou/public_html/forums/index.php(26): include() #1 {main} thrown in /home2/undermou/public_html/forums/common.php on line 29

And the newer forum (http://www.undermountain.org/Forum3/phpBB3/) comes back with this error:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

mysql_connect function does not exist, is mysql extension installed? []

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

Any clue what that means? Tech support at Hostmonster is spotty at best.

[Cole]

The person in charge of editing the pages needs to be contacted

but the error is caused because the MYSQL database is not connecting to the pages. They need to open his code and correct the MYSQL options so that those pages can communicate again with his database

It will look like something like this;

$dbhost = 'ip address goes here';
$dbport = 'dbport'';
$dbname = 'dbname';
$dbuser = 'usernamehere';
$dbpasswd = 'dbpassword';

If those aren't ALL correct, it wont connect period

[Cole]

Those forums are self configuring. Just go to the index page and follow along, fill in the data as asked and it will work

Thanks Cole! I called tech support when I realized they'd done a PHP update. Got them to fix it, so we're up and running!

[Cole]

Right on!

Yeah that's why I try to avoid updates on anything PHP related... things tend to go to shit

The mage test is also with some problems, it doesn't display the pictures. I only know I got spirit mage because that was the broken image's link.

EDIT: And the ability test has some missing images. I was too lazy to do the strength test but I was trying to be sincere in the constitution, intelligence and wisdom tests (and maybe charisma too) but some pictures were blank and they were what the question was about.
