cpg1.6 upgrading / Unable to connect to database ...

Last post by Aurel Klatik - June 11, 2025, 10:03:53 PM

I have successfully updated from CPG 1.5.12 to 1.5.48 using PHP 5.3
In attempt to upgrade to CPG 1.6.26 I have uploaded files to server, changed server setting to PHP 8.3 and run webname/update.php
I was still logged in as webstie admin.  Got this error:

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQLi said: 2054 : The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [mysql_old_password]

Have checked that MySQL is 5.5
I have no clue what to do. Can you please give me a hint ?

Just to update this post I'd like to add
Image Management Software
I use XnView Classic which is free and allows batch resizing, batch renaming and batch editing of IPTC data.
https://www.xnview.com/en/xnview/
There is also XnView MP which is also free but hadn't got the IPTC data features last time I checked

Suchen Sie in Ihrer Themes-Datei ,,themes>"yourtheme">theme.php" nach dem unten stehenden Block. Falls vorhanden, bearbeiten Sie ihn wie unten beschrieben. Falls nicht, fügen Sie den gesamten Abschnitt unten in Ihre Themes-Datei ,,themes>"yourtheme">theme.php" ein.

Code Select Expand

/******************************************************************************
** Section <<<theme_credits>>> - START
******************************************************************************/

/******************************************************************************
// Function for the credits-section
In previous versions of Coppermine the "Powered by Coppermine" used to be
obfuscated to make it hard for non-coders to remove the tag. The reason behind
this was an additional license add-on that disallowed users to change the line.
The dev team has reviewed this policy for cpg1.5.x and decided that end users
ARE allowed to change or remove the line in legal terms.
HOWEVER: We have a forum policy for the support board instead: support will
only be given for galleries that show the "Powered by Coppermine" tag
unobfuscated.
Before removing the credits, please consider this as well:
Coppermine is free software, the dev team ASKS you to keep the footer intact.
We're convinced that you should give credit where credit is due. So please think
twice before you decide to remove the tag.

Hallo,

ganz unten auf der Hauptseite meines Coppermine Forums steht ja der Schriftzug" Powered by Coppermine Photo Gallery" Der Link verweist auf coppermine-gallery.net, welche aber nicht mehr funktioniert. Wie kann ich den Link auf coppermine-gallery.com ändern bzw. wo?

Danke und Gruß, Volker

The php.ini file is not a part of CPG. It is a system file that sets values to control how PHP operates. Depending on what package you have with Hetzner, you may have to have them make necessary configuration changes. If you have an unmanaged plan, it could be a bit of a challenge to find where and what modifications are needed.

It is quite likely that Wordpress just doesn't need to have some PHP features that CPG requires.

(edit) A work-around could be by using the attached install.php file in place of the normal one. Replace the normal one, remove the config.php file, then go here: https://diego-luna.com/gallery/install.php?step=1
(ignore a complaint about a modified install.php file)

Ron:

Further question if I may? Why was I able to install Wordpress but not Coppermine?

Ron:

Where would I find the PHP.ini file? Is that in the Coppermine files, or someplace else on the server? Thanks so much.

It would seem that PHP on your server has been configured with some restrictions. If you are able, check your php.ini to see whether the exec() function is disabled.
