Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function set_magic_quotes_runtime() in - How can i fix it? Topic is solved

[elisaveli]

Hi all, I have a problem. Some weeks ago I couldn't see my website anymore. I get this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function set_magic_quotes_runtime() in /membri/mysite/includes/framework.php:21 Stack trace: #0 /membri/mysite/index.php(22): require_once() #1 {main} thrown in /membri/mysite/includes/framework.php on line 21

I get the same error if I try to visualize the administrator login page very sad story my dear

What can I do?

Looking at the line number of the PHP fatal error message, your website must be using Joomla 1.5, not 3.x.

The following topic from three years ago explains what has happened:
help with fatal error 'undefined function set_magic_quotes_runtime()'

The solution was to downgrade PHP to version 5.6 and then start planning the upgrade of Joomla 1.5 to a supported version, currently 3.9.24.

Thanks @Toivo. Unfortunately I already tried this solution... this is what i get downgrading the PHP version to 5.6 (but there are infinite lines...):

Do you know which version of PHP was used before your website went blank weeks ago?

Did your host let you know beforehand that they were going to upgrade PHP or migrate the website to a different server?

Please post the results from the Forum Post Assistant (FPA) by following the instructions at https://forumpostassistant.github.io/docs so that the configuration can be reviewed.

Try php 5.2

You may not have updated to 1.5.26

Hi Per Yngve Berg, unfortunately I cannot use any version of the PHP below 5.6. Maybe you are right. It was the 5.2. And probably u are still right supposing I didn't update my Joomla to 1.5.26. Downgrading my PHP version to 5.6, I am able to log in the ADMIN page. Now how I can upgrade my joomla version to 1.5.26? I am actually using Joomla! 1.5.24 Stable [ senu takaa ama naiki ] 17-October-2011 18:00 GMT.

Toivo NO. I didn't get any alert about the PHP upgrading.

I don't know how to upgrade my Joomla Version from 5.24 to 5.26 (hoping that this will solve the problem). Is anyone helping me? Thanks

[Per Yngve Berg]

Download the update package. Unzip it an upload to your site.

The 1.5 version does not have an updater.

[elisaveli]

I have uploaded all the file. Now I have the version Joomla! 1.5.26 Stable [ senu takaa ama busani ] 27-March-2012 18:00 GMT, but still... unfortunately I get the same error:

Turn off Error Reporting in Global Configuration.

[elisaveli]

Thanks Per Yngve Berg. Unfortunately it doesn't work. I get the same error...
I am so sad... really sad...

[Per Yngve Berg]

I suspect it's your template that is not compatible.

[elisaveli]

I can make a try... but... it seems that if I spend 2 hours to upgrade Joomla to the newest version... maybe it is better/faster/easier. Keeping fighting with the past, probably, it is not anymore convinient.

[toivo]

Two hours may not be quite sufficient, but that depends mainly on the number of third party extensions. The migration process is documented in the sticky topics at Migrating and Upgrading to Joomla! 3.x, especially in the tutorial Practical Guide to migrate from J1.5.xx to J3.x.

In any case, the website, the template and third party extensions will need to be reviewed before the migration can start. It would be best to do first trial migrations in a localhost environment on a workstation, running for example Wampserver, where you can easily swap between different versions of PHP.

If you need help from Joomla experts, post topics to the migration forum. You can also post your requirements to the Professional Development Services forum with your preferred method of contact. Read first the sticky topic in that sub forum.

[elisaveli]

Thanks Toivo.

I want to add that the suspect of Per Yngve Berg is right: changing the template the website is ok. So the problem is, I suppose, an incompatibility of the template.

Toivo I will be quite drastic. I will save my old website on my PC and I will just upload the newest version of Joomla ex novo. Re-doing my website.

The "migration" is not a good solution. Because I have modules of the old template (Joomla 1.5) that will never match my new template (Joomla 3).

Maybe the only solution to save time is to find a "similar" template compatible with Joomla 1.5 and just changing the template.

Thanks all for your support.
At the end the solution proposed by Per Yngve was OK.
