Okay i have tried mamp, now ampps....I downloaded my database from host metro. created a new DB same name and everything as my other.....imported my DB from host metro......installed Abantecart....setup everything. when i went to migrate from zen cart... i was able to do users from mamp.. but not products, etc... and with ampps can't goto step 2 at all keep getting this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /Applications/AMPPS/www/core/database/mysql.php on line 46

I know it has something to do with mysqli but i am very new to this and not sure what to do at this point. i am thinking of staying with zen cart...

HELP ME PLEASE AND THANK YOU......

Did you get this error during AbanteCart installation or after import from Zencart?
There is more safe methods to import from another carts:
Migration tool
CSV import

After I installed Abantecart I went to migrate and it would not let me get to step 2..... I had all the correct info. it worked when i was under MAMP for mac....Was able to pull in my users but not the categories, products etc. A while back maybe like 8 months ago it worked fine but things happen and had to reformat my mac . i guess it was a different version of Abantecart anyways I would like to get away from zen cart and so far Abantecart looks good
