JDex Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 I am setting up a local test server so that I can do some PHP/mySQL pages on the road... which version of mySQL should I use for TCH compatability? Are there any setup considerations I should take into account? Thank you. Quote
LisaJill Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 You can see that from your cpanel: Mysql Version 4.0.22-standard Quote
JDex Posted December 9, 2004 Author Posted December 9, 2004 Thanks for the quick response. One problem though... I am looking at the "older releases" download section of mySQL.com and it goes from 4.0.20d to 4.0.3... no 4.0.22. Any thoughts? Cheers Edit: I take it back... the 4.0 release on the current page is the 4.0.22 release... gracias, Quote

JDex Posted December 12, 2004 Author Posted December 12, 2004 Thanks for the warm welcome... I have another question... I am just diving in to MySQL/PHP and am trying to setup my test server here at home to learn/work with... one goal I have is to use the phpbb database for forum use as well as for some out-of-forum data passing... ie. User Registered? etc... As far as how that works I think I have a good enough handle on the topic to figure it out, my question is what is the best way to add the current phpbb database to my Test Server so I can test things out as I go. I tried using the backup function and extracting the .gz, but where should I put the resulting file in relation to the Test Server MySQL root. Are there any pitfalls or steps I need to take to have my test server recognize the data? Thanks very much. Quote
dcumpian Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 You used the backup function built-in to PHPBB? Usually, I just use PhPMySQLAdmin to do a dump of the database to a file. Then I execute the scripts using MySQL to create the database, tables and import the data. Probably more work than it's worth, but I've heard that some PHPBB boards cannot restore the backup occasionally, so I'd rather have everything in raw script form. Regards Dan Quote
JDex Posted December 14, 2004 Author Posted December 14, 2004 I actually used the db backup function in CP... but thanks for the tip... I'll try it now. Quote
