upgrade from 421 > 5 connection error

[fishingforum]

Hi

Im just stuck and hoping anyone could shed some light

When I go to upgrade to 5 i get this connection error

2: mysqli_real_connect() expects parameter 6 to be long, string given
Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0

Now both configs are done and the paths are correct as they work before . Im with 1&1 managed if that sheds any light

cheers

Does the port number for your database connection fit? MySQLi-support is available? Did you try to upload the files again (make sure the .php files are uploaded in ASCII mode)?

the port number works on vb4

MySQLi-support is available = not sure but change it to MySQL and no change

get this error database.php on line 999

its something so simple but just cant see it

Im going to delete the folder and try afresh
