As far as the mysqli error goes, it looks like you are not loading the mysqli module, thats normally done via php.ini

Can you help me please, i will pm you my server details i am unable to do it so far.

Now As the mysqli module is installed and enabled but this time i get " There is a serious error and the page cannot be rendered" with mysqli enable as dbtype.

How can this be ressolved?
thanks
