I’m trying to install phplist on a new server.
I’m only changing server and I had phplist on my old server.
I have created the database and the user and the password. Everything is the same as my old server.
I have different choice of php and I always have different error message following the php that I choose.
Unknown database host to connected to,
Cannot connect to database, Sql server is not running
It’s Odd there is Nothing there
My config is fine . It has been check and recheck.
Okay, you have created a new db, user, password etc, have you changed the details in your config file?
Specifically it will probably have a different prefix to your database name. Also, has your change of server involved a new database host address? On one of my hosts localhost is useable, on another I have to specify a specific IP address.
for the host address: localhost, the domain naim or the numbers of the url doesn’t change anything
the name of the database and the user and the password is the same as the old server.
I have a dedicated server and the domain is on dedicated IP address.
On my old server it works fine but if I change the PHP version the problem is the same
I can only choose Php version 5.1.6 vendor apache module, vendor cgi application or vendor Fast CGI
In my new server I can choose PHP version from 5.2.17 to PHP 7.1.17 and the error message differ following which PHP I choose… I already have trie almost all the version.
@Phil You will need to give the values for the database connection fields in your config.php file, the exact error message that is displayed, and the version of php that you are using. Otherwise we would just be guessing.
button unchecked Php support (php version 5.4.16 by os vendor run php as “FPM application served by appache” or FastCGI application served by Apache
I have the following message
HTTP 500 error
That’s odd… the website can’t display this page

Thank you

The 500 errors are probably masking the underlying problem.
I think that you need to ask the hosting company what the database connection details are. If you have a hosting control panel then sometimes that explains what to use.
Also, ensure that the mysqli extension is enabled in php.
I’ve try to install on my serveur, I’ve 500 error and can’t access to installation page.
The solution cerate a function in checkprerequisites.php to resolve the problem of parse_ini_file in some serveur. the code is simple
function parse_ini_file($file){
return parse_ini_string(file_get_contents($file));
}
After this, all run
