Title: Fatal Error : Debug Enabled Last modified: September 2, 2021 --- # Fatal Error : Debug Enabled * Resolved [67comet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/67comet/) * (@67comet) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-debug-enabled/) * Working on my friends 32bit computer from across the state. It is running Gentoo, WordPress (latest as of August 2021), PHP7.4, MySQL, and Apache2 (with PHP/MySQL modules enabled). I access it via ssh/bash. * Here is the Debug that the page hands out (I also did a basic info.php page to check php and it worked fine no errors). * I’ve tried to install this several times from fresh downloaded latest.zip files from WordPress.org. It loads the initial install page, I fill in user, password, databases, etc… As soon as I click next/install, it flips the Fatal Error page( so I went in and enabled debug). * > `Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in/ > var/www/www.watchingskycandy.com/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php:1685 Stack > trace: #0 /var/www/www.watchingskycandy.com/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php( > 632): wpdb->db_connect() #1 /var/www/www.watchingskycandy.com/wordpress/wp- > includes/load.php(545): wpdb->__construct() #2 /var/www/www.watchingskycandy. > com/wordpress/wp-settings.php(124): require_wp_db() #3 /var/www/www.watchingskycandy. > com/wordpress/wp-config.php(95): require_once(‘/var/www/www.wa…’) #4 /var/www/ > www.watchingskycandy.com/wordpress/wp-load.php(37): require_once(‘/var/www/ > www.wa…’) #5 /var/www/www.watchingskycandy.com/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php( > 13): require_once(‘/var/www/www.wa…’) #6 /var/www/www.watchingskycandy.com/ > wordpress/index.php(17): require(‘/var/www/www.wa…’) #7 {main} thrown in /var/ > www/www.watchingskycandy.com/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1685 * Any ideas is appreciated. - This topic was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffatal-error-debug-enabled%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [Ryan Welcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/welcher/) * (@welcher) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-debug-enabled/#post-14828954) * [This is an older topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-fatal-error-uncaught-error-call-to-undefined-function-mysql_connect-in/), but might be able to shed some light on potential causes. * Thread Starter [67comet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/67comet/) * (@67comet) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-debug-enabled/#post-14829009) * Hello. I tried that last week. I didn’t have that line in mine. I tried adding it to see if maybe mine was backwards and it was the same error. Is that line in another file maybe? * [corusx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corusx/) * (@corusx) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-debug-enabled/#post-14830066) * which mysql version you are using ? * [https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/server-environment/](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/server-environment/) * i hope you have installed all the necessary extension and server requirements * Thread Starter [67comet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/67comet/) * (@67comet) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-debug-enabled/#post-14832819) * Gentoo Linux (GNU/Linux 5.4.48) * PHP 7.4.21 * MySQL/8.0.25 * Apache/2.4.48 * ``` Loaded Modules: core_module (static) so_module (static) http_module (static) mpm_prefork_module (static) actions_module (shared) alias_module (shared) auth_basic_module (shared) authn_anon_module (shared) authn_core_module (shared) authn_dbm_module (shared) authn_file_module (shared) authz_core_module (shared) authz_dbm_module (shared) authz_groupfile_module (shared) authz_host_module (shared) authz_owner_module (shared) authz_user_module (shared) autoindex_module (shared) cgi_module (shared) cgid_module (shared) deflate_module (shared) dir_module (shared) env_module (shared) expires_module (shared) ext_filter_module (shared) filter_module (shared) headers_module (shared) include_module (shared) info_module (shared) log_config_module (shared) logio_module (shared) mime_module (shared) mime_magic_module (shared) negotiation_module (shared) rewrite_module (shared) setenvif_module (shared) socache_shmcb_module (shared) speling_module (shared) ssl_module (shared) unique_id_module (shared) unixd_module (shared) usertrack_module (shared) vhost_alias_module (shared) php7_module (shared) ``` * I’m at a loss. It seems everything is installed like it should be. * I did a text index.php and it showed PHP was all there and working, I don’t know where else to look. I’ve tossed, and restarted a fresh install of WordPress a few times (Dumped the MySQL database), re-download the latest file from WordPress, make a new database, and it goes from the page asking for the database info, to the white page of death as quick as you can let go of the mouse button). * MySQL user can access and modify MySQL (tested with CLI) Edited wp-config.php to correct database/user/password Changed user to apache for wordpress directory Changed Went directly to [http://www.watchingskycandy.com/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.watchingskycandy.com/wp-admin/install.php)( Doesn’t show Debug info when I go directly to it, just the white page). * So stuck 🙂 .. * [corusx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corusx/) * (@corusx) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-debug-enabled/#post-14834011) * the website seems live for me * [https://prntscr.com/1r35gp1](https://prntscr.com/1r35gp1) * [https://prntscr.com/1r35ife](https://prntscr.com/1r35ife) * Thread Starter [67comet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/67comet/) * (@67comet) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-debug-enabled/#post-14834070) * Yes I need to fix a JSON error but the MYSQL error was a PHP compile error. When I compiled PHP I didn’t have a USE flag for MYSQL.. that side of the house is good.. Now I gotta figure out the JSON error when trying to write a post..
