Hi,

My problem happen after installation. When I try to open the app I have an error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function Akeeba\Engine\Driver\mysql_close() in /X/wp-content/plugins/akeebabackupwp-4.1.0.rc5_/app/Solo/engine/Driver/Mysql.php on line 143

I fixed it replacing mysql_close by mysqli_close

But after I have another problem:
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /X/wp-content/plugins/akeebabackupwp-4.1.0.rc5_/helpers/templates/wp/php/head.php on line 34

First I have an important question. How are you running WordPress on your server is the mysql (not mysqli) extension is not installed? Have you modified WordPress itself?

Moreover, it would not be adequate to simply change mysql_close to mysqli_close. The mysql and mysqli drivers are extremely different and this WILL cause problems. This is what makes the application crash.
