Bug Description
Depending on your view, this is an application bug or a documentation bug.
Just tried installing on ubuntu 16.04 with:
apache 2.4.18 ubuntu
PHP Version 7.0.15-
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.18, for Linux (x86_64)
I'm getting 'undefined function mysql_connect' This function was deprecated in php5 and has been removed in php7.
I am well aware that Citrus requires php 5.2, but that version is no longer installable by default on ubuntu 16.04. Even if it were possible, citrus sits on a version of php which is now two full versions off the pace. Is it good practice to require such old packages to make citrus go?
Anyway--the basic mysql adodb components as shipped will not work. So I tried changing sys_dbtype to mysqli and pdo_mysql, which also didn't work.
Can we please have some instructions on getting it working with PDO or mysqli? I get an 'Unable to connect' error. Both interfaces are working on my system according to phpinfo() so other than changing sys_dbtype I don't know what to do.
Or better still, release a version that works with the latest php out of the box.

I have fixed this problem which regrettably was operator error. Required a correctly-set up self-signed certificate which is now installed. citrus is working happily using php7 and mysqli.
Please cancel this bug report.
