txad Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I am not sure what version of Revive Download edition we are running, but the database user password got changed and we don't know what it use to be and now we are receiving this message: Database connection error. A fatal error occurred Revive Adserver can't connect to the database. Because of this it isn't possible to use the administrator interface. The delivery of banners might also be affected. Possible reasons for the problem are: <ul> <li>The database server isn't functioning at the moment</li> <li>The location of the database server has changed</li> <li>The username or password used to contact the database server are not correct</li> <li>PHP has not loaded the MySQL Extension</li> </ul> We have multiple sites that use this software and we would like to get it fixed as soon as possible and possibly switch it over to the hosted version so that the software can stay up to date. Can someone help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Seems there are PHP modules missing. You or your hosting provider needs to install them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txad Posted September 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 It is on a CPanel and running php 5.4. We are in the process of migrating over to a new server and this is what our server folks said: EasyApache cannot even open because Centos 6 is deprecated, and is one of the reasons we are migrating you over to Centos 7. The mySQL plugin can be added to the new server post migration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can install any extensions required, but your developer will need to tell us which extensions are required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
