[Upgrade from 3.2.2 to 4.0]

I found the solution.   The new-version/var/domain.conf.php - I also needed to edit the database type

[database]

type=mysqli

[Upgrade from 3.2.2 to 4.0]

Attempting to upgrade from 3.2.2 to 4.0 after an OS upgrade.   OS is ubuntu 16.04  with apache 2.4.18 with php 7.0.8.    I got past the php 7 issues and the mysqli issues using google & the forum.  I copied over the domain.conf.php from existing/var to new-version/var and edited for the DB name.

When I go to the URL it see's that it's an upgrade - but I get an error cannot connect to DB revive_adserver_4

Looking at the install.log

- the first 3 lines

Installation started 2016-10-27 12:12:16
Attempting to connect to database revive_adserver_4 with user revive_adserver

- further down the log

Attempting to detect an existing Revive Adserver installation...
MDB2 Error: not found
#! Openads configuration file detected
#! Could not connect to the database : revive_adserver_4

 

I've followed the Upgrade instructions.  I've done other upgrades in the past with 3.x.x.  I know the DB, user & passwd are OK - they work with other tools.  Not sure what I missed.
