Hi Team,

I am brand new to OpenCATS and I am trying to install the available version of OpenCATS-0.9.4-3 on Windows Server 2012 running PHP version 8.2.12. I have installed XAMPP and all other prerequisites. When I ran the installation wizard, I got lots of $data{0} errors that I fixed by changing it to $data[0]. Finally, I got to the page to start the installation but now I am stuck at the below error:
=====================================================================================================
PHP MySQL extension (mysql) is not loaded.
Check your settings in php.ini.

Under certain Linux / BSD distributions, the PHP MySQL extension is a separate package.

Debian: Run "apt-get install php5-mysql" and restart your webserver.

FreeBSD: Install the php5-mysql port, or configure MySQL support in the php-extensions port and restart your webserver.
=====================================================================================================
I tried loading the mysql extension in php.ini as extension=mysql and restarted the Apache service but the error is still there.

Looking for some immediate help friends.

Regards

Open the php.ini file:
This file is usually located in the php directory of your XAMPP installation, for example, C:\xampp\php\php.ini.
Enable MySQLi Extension:
Find and enable the MySQLi extension by removing the semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line:
;extension=mysqli
Change it to:
extension=mysqli
Restart Apache:
After saving the changes to php.ini, restart the Apache server from the XAMPP Control Panel to apply the changes.
To confirm that the MySQLi extension is loaded:
Create a PHP Info File:
Create a new file named phpinfo.php in your web directory (C:\xampp\htdocs\) with the following content:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Access the PHP Info Page:
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/phpinfo.php.
Look for the mysqli section to verify that the MySQLi extension is enabled and loaded.
Additional Tips:
Check for Compatibility: Ensure that the version of OpenCATS you are using is compatible with PHP 8.2.12. Some older software may have compatibility issues with newer PHP versions.
Database Connection: Double-check your database connection settings in OpenCATS configuration files to ensure they match your MySQL server settings.

A "Database Connection Error" typically indicates an issue with the database credentials or server settings. Ensure that your MySQL server is running and that you are using the correct database host, username, and password. Additionally, check that the MySQL server allows connections from your IP address.

Sorry, I am new to OpenCATS so please excuse me if my question is a bit stupid. How do I know which version of OpenCATS PHP is compatible with the device's software I am usinggeometry dash. I am using PHP version 8.2.12 but I get an error when installing on my computer. I am not sure if this error is due to incompatibility or there is another reason.

The error message indicates that the PHP MySQL extension isn't loaded, which is required for OpenCATS to interact with the database. However, PHP 8.2 no longer supports the older mysql extension. Instead, you should use the mysqli or pdo_mysql extension, as the mysql extension was deprecated and eventually removed in PHP 7. best sex dolls

Hello,OpenCATS is not fully compatible with PHP 8.2. Downgrade to PHP 7.4 or 8.0, which are more stable for OpenCATS, to resolve the installation error.

For your information;

We were able to setup OpenCATS v0.9.4.x with Apache v2.4, PHP v7.2 and MariaDB v10.4 without any issues.

So you may give a try with PHP v7.2 and see the outcome of results.

We are using PHP v7.2 without any issues

For info, PHP 8.2 support is *almost* complete, I should be able to resume working on the PHP 8.2 feature branch shortly.
