The MySQL adapter 'mysql' is not available and session Warnings

Question

I am getting the following errors:

Database connection error (1): The MySQL adapter 'mysql' is not available.

Warning: session_write_close(): Cannot call session save handler in a recursive manner in C:\xampp\htdocs\RCUB_praveen_Backup\libraries\joomla\session\session.php on line 681

Warning: session_write_close(): Failed to write session data using user defined save handler. (session.save_path: C:\xampp\tmp) in C:\xampp\htdocs\RCUB_praveen_Backup\libraries\joomla\session\session.php on line 681

I have uploaded database successfully and I use XAMPP v3.2.2

Answer 1

In you configuration.php file, change the database driver from mysql to mysqli. The mysql database driver is now obsolete and is no longer bundled with PHP by default.
