I am trying to install and receive the following error when getting to step 2

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_get_client_info() in /webroot/o/n/onsit011/onsiteed.com/www/formalms/install/controllers/Step2Controller.php:25 Stack trace: #0 /webroot/o/n/onsit011/onsiteed.com/www/formalms/install/views/Step2.php(4): checkRequirements() #1 /webroot/o/n/onsit011/onsiteed.com/www/formalms/install/controllers/StepController.php(10): include_once('/webroot/o/n/on...') #2 /webroot/o/n/onsit011/onsiteed.com/www/formalms/install/lib/lib.step.php(58): StepController->render() #3 /webroot/o/n/onsit011/onsiteed.com/www/formalms/install/index.php(63): StepManager::loadCurrentStep() #4 {main} thrown in /webroot/o/n/onsit011/onsiteed.com/www/formalms/install/controllers/Step2Controller.php on line 25

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Hi Medic and welcome onboard!

What you are incurring into has been discussed in several threads on this forum, please check for example here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12605&hilit=stuck+on+step+2

Thanks but my issue was running php 7. Fixed and up and running!!

Thanks for the reply!

Hi medic55
the mysql standard driver does not exists anymore in php70 . for php70 the only available driver is mysqli ( mysql-i ) .

forma.lms 1.4.2 can use mysqli driver but have some issue, and the installation procedure tests the presence of the standard mysql driver.
as a workaround, you can install forma 1.4.x with php 5.x and then move the installation source and db under php 7.0
but remember that forma 1.4 is not fully compatible with php 7.0

I have the same issue. Step 2 locks on a white page.


As per Claudio information it might be due to PHP7. I'll try to use PHP5 later and see.

P.S.:

Just tried with PHP 5.6.30 and I got this. Is it also not compatible ? I mean I uncommented mysql then mysqli extension without results.

Just retried with an older v.5.0.5 to make sure and this time the sever do not even want to take it.

I get this message stating the dll is not valid: Of course back in the time there was almost no if not simply not at all 64 bit version so I guess this is the reason why. I need to redo everything from scratch with 32 bit servers to check.

PHP 5.6 is a a valid version for forma.lms 1.4.x .
If you have a blank page you run into an error. Please check the apache error log
