Hi, I have just updated to 4.3.8 and now getting a 403 forbidden page for my website but the admin is working and the following is coming up in the error log, (I have just changed the name of the database and password so i can add this text)

[18-Jul-2016 03:31:51 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'mysqli' not found in /home/polefitn/public_html/app/Tygh/Backend/Database/Mysqli.php:37

I tried to restore the previous backup and i get this
Unable to restore
Required mysqli or pdo_mysql.
Your help would be appreciated

If you're using an older version of php, you can change $config['backend_database'] = 'mysqli' to 'mysql' or 'pdo_mysql' instead.

It's unusual to find a commercial hosting provider that isn't supporting mysqli in their instance of PHP. But some of the older versions don't support it.
