Upgrade from 2.7 to 8.3 then 2.12.2 ends with multiude of problems
dbs:
The error is a php version thing.
You have no mysql_ with PHP 7.x, only mysqli_
Forget this error.
Local with PHP5.6 this is not a problem.
We can search the forum for another user with a upgrade droplets problem. I can't remember this problem.
You are locally with PHP5.6 and the database is also locally?
The upgrade stops at step2 install Droplets?
right?
If you can give us a backup zip and the database, we can try to upgrade.

Yes, correct, I'm working locally with PHP5.6 and the database. Yes, the upgrade stops at Install Droplets - correct.
I zipped up the files and downloaded a copy of the db and uploaded them to Google to share with you. Then I get a message from Google saying there is a virus in the files. Let me check that out and I'll get back to you.
Thx for your help!

Please mark this problem down as UNSOLVED. It's too old to continue to try to recover. Instead, I've just started again and created a new site and copied over all the text and images. It took me less than 2 hrs. http://www.rail2trail.org
Thanks for your help.

And why you don't use WB?
Your link leads to a WP installation.

I first started to use WSB back in 2005 when I started setting up websites for clients. Most wanted a simple CMS that they could edit themselves. WSB was perfect for the purpose. It took me about 10 minutes to show clients how to use it.
At the time Wordpress and Joomla lead the market. Joomla was good but had a high learning curve. Wordpress sites were getting hacked, plus it had a higher learning curve than WSB. Also, WSB was very stable. It also appeared to go under the radar with the hackers. WSB filled my niche perfectly.
In about 2008 WSB went into a bit of turmoil. Some users on this forum accused it of being dangerous. At the same time some other users broke away and setup their own version of WSB. I can't remember the name now of the new CMS.
At the same time Wordpress got their act together and made WP more secure. Wordpress then became the flavour of the day. People started asking me to develop their site using WP. So I just changed over.
Now I see that it's all changed again. The popular CMS now are Squarespace, Wix and Facebook. But developing with them you don't get the chance to charge for hosting.
Rail2trail.org was my last WSB site.
