I am using the latest WAMPServer64 with PHP 5.5.12.
What I did: From a webserver (runs PHP 5.4.16) I have copied the modx folders to localhost, then I copied the entire database. I have also changed the database credentials accordingly via manager/includes/confic.inc.php.
When opening the manager login, I see the following:
Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in \manager\includes\extenders\dbapi.mysql.class.inc.php on line 93
When I try to login, the manager does not show up and I get a bunch of errors, content of php_error.log:
PHP Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in manager\includes\extenders\dbapi.mysql.class.inc.php on line 93

I have searched for solutions on the net, some suggested to clear the cache, which is not directly possible since the manager interface does not load. I also tried to upgrade using the default install folder, same problem remains.
So if anyone has a clue how I can solve this without installing an old version of PHP, that would be great.
To get rid of the mysql deprecated warning you have to use Evo 1.0.15+ and you should change
$database_type = 'mysql';
to
$database_type = 'mysqli';
in config.inc.php
The 'only' thing that uses the old mysql_ functions is the installer then. The deprecated warnings are disabled in there for PHP 5.5.
