What is everyones development environment? My current setup is: * OS: Ubuntu 7.10 with all updates * Apache 2.2 * Perl 5.8.8 * PHP 5.2.3 (running under mod_php) * MySQL 5.45 And more importantly, to what versions are we restricted? Can we use PHP5 functions, MySQL 5 functions etc. etc. ____________ blog.htbaa.com |

That's pretty much identical to my setup too. As far as I know, BS as it stands is running on PHP4, but with htaccess jiggery we can force it to use 5. We never did with the current version for fears of it breaking, but I'm sure by and large the changes necessary would be minimal. Not sure what version of MySQL we're using. Rince? ____________ laffo |

Hmmm in the HTTP headers i see we're using PHP 4.4.6 Well, updating the site to use PHP5 can be a pain. But if superglobals were never used it could be ok. ____________ blog.htbaa.com |

register_globals is turned off at the moment anyway.

Glad to hear that. Is BS running on a dedicated server or is it shared webhosting? What are the possibilities on updating different stuff? ____________ blog.htbaa.com |

Hmmm. I got the latest working version of BS, imported the database but all I get is a white screen. Error reporting has been set to E_ALL in my php config. I'm getting no error message at all. PHP is working since a phpinfo() gave me a response. Any idea on what could be wrong? There's nothing in my log files as well. ____________ blog.htbaa.com |

Quoting Fiona: Not sure what version of MySQL we're using. Rince? We are using MySQL version 4.1.21 - Current PHP info: http://www.dev.booleansoup.com/phpinfo.phpQuoting Htbaa: Is BS running on a dedicated server or is it shared webhosting? What are the possibilities on updating different stuff? It's running on shared (albeit fast) webhosting, our host is Perfect-ID. Our package has 1250 MB webspace, 40 GB/month bandwidth. PHP flags have sadly recently been disabled by our host, but if any changes need to be made to the PHP configuration I can send the host an e-mail about this. To switch to PHP 5 (and maybe also MySQL 5) you have to put the following line on top of a .htaccess file: AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

MySQL won't allow multiple versions on the same server. Maybe with a lot of hacking. But 4.1 is fine :-). Seems like php is running under fastcgi here. That's fine. So I guess php5 is running as mod_php then. ____________ blog.htbaa.com |
