His latest update to the forums was IPB 3.4.7. Like we all said it looks like a MySQL error, if you can get the host to downgrade you I think you’ll be back up in no time.

IPB 3.4.x with a PHP higher than 5.6 create a driver error.

You should have an option in the PHP  in cPanel - you now see the latest update for your account, but your server should have older versions as well - search for something like Manage PHP and switch to a lower version.
You can try and add this line to your htaccess file 


AddType application/x-httpd-php56 .php

 

Well, now I looked at another page with server information from cpanel and it says:

PHP Version 5.4.45
MySQL version 5.5.62-cll

But in phpMyAdmin it said php version 7.2.7 and mySQL 5.5.62

But MissB says the error message is specifik about mySQL, but even the hosting company said it was 5.5.62, when I talked to them.

Totally agree. Which I think you said before anyway.

Check the htaccess file - there may be a rule in this file that causes the driver error

I must admit, I have no idea what the htaccess file is and where to find it.

But on the other hand, I did find the place in cpanel where I could change php versions and it's 5.4 and I can change it to 5.6, but it doesn't help on the problem.

This file is located in the root directory of your forum. Exact name 

.htaccess

What do I do? Replace the file with a file with that info? I just don't want to do something wrong and mess even more up.

Save the original file to your computer.
Save this content that I uploaded above as a .htaccess file.
Replace the file in the root directory with the new file.

I did that now and unfortunately that didn't help. Now it says another error when you "go back to index" than it did before. Now it's 500 Internal Server Error. Before it was error 404. I changed the file back to the original.

Thanks so much for the help so far. It's getting late here in Denmark, so I'm off to bed.

 

I know several of you say mySQL error, but the server seems to be in version 5.5.62, so if it's not the incorrect version, what can it be then?

I'm updating this topic again. My hosting company won't help, because it's not a managed server, and I can't have the site moved to a managed server, because it's too big and I need access to the forum, before I can downsize. So it's a bad circle and I'm stuck.

But Miss_B was kind and looked into what error message it is and it appears to be mysql related, so I need to learn mysql, so I can figure it out. I looked up some tutorials but I'm a bit confused about how many programs I need to download when I have the server already.

When I go to cpanel, I have three places to go for mysql, which are: MySQL Databases, MySQL Database Wizard and Remote MySQL

The error message is: The server requested authentication method unknown to the client.

And I can google and people suggest running a specific query, but how do I do that and with what program? I can't find anything in those three programs that that says "run query". It's mostly about creating databases and users. So what programs do I need to download to my own computer to hopefully run queries?

I hope I make sense.

My next suggestion would be to download the whole site and run it in wamp localhost to see if you can get it running. But I’m afraid of suggesting such a thing if you’re not sure on how it all works or how to do it.

Just like MissB I’m happy to have a quick look on cPanel and just check everything is correct and that it matches up. Though I’m not sure how much more I’d be able to do if MissB has gone through everything, but offer is there.

Hope it works out.

I’d move host, never known hosting company to be so unhelpful. Don’t continue to give them your money.

If you could move host and ask them if they’d be willing to support 5.4 briefly while you get the forum up. I would highly recommend upgrading to the latest IPB software and then the host can change php 7.2/7.3+ and you’ll be on your way.

Yes, it's wonderful. Thanks so much. I have written Invision now to ask them to update the forum, so I hope it can be done soon.

You are very welcome. I am glad to have been of help.
