I enabled PHP error messages in the control panel and got it as shown above. I went to Softaculous to see if I could update it, and now it says “It appears your account has fully used it’s inode allocation, you will need to delete files to reduce inodes before the script installer will work, or upgrade to [premium hosting](https://www.infinityfree.com/premium/) where we offer over 400,000 inodes !”. Also line 265 it’s complaining about in mysqli.php is $result = mysqli\_fetch\_assoc($query\_id); . Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks in advance! ---

More information on inodes limit: > [@Inode limit on free hosting](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/what-does-the-inode-limit-mean/49331): > > Your control panel shows an inode counter that tracks how many files and folders you have on your hosting account. If you’re seeing high inode usage or approaching the limit, don’t panic. Most websites use many inodes, and this is completely normal. Should I be worried about my inode usage?
