   this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/f3157076/public_html/

 * Hello [@albie5047](https://wordpress.org/support/users/albie5047/),
 * you can edit below file
 * `wp-admin/setup-config.php`
    `define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content');`
 * Patch defines WP_CONTENT_DIR at the start of setup-config.php along with the 
   others. That should fix it.
 * Only problem with that, Is that to install, it means *must* use mysql/default
   database.
 * if above solution not working then please contact server team or install mysql.
 * Thanks
