OpenVMS VAMP Board

great to meet you again!

I'm still on VMS - private only - and in the process of switching between HPE openVMS (current on DS10 and 3 Itanium 2620 boxes) and VSI OpenVMS on FreeAXP - to set things up using the VSI TCPIP stack. On the HPE-machines, running on the final HPE hobbyist license, problem ...

is out since may and works fine. The major issues that I did enconter seem to be solved now, but now I run with MySQL 3.x again - the 4.1 engine crashes. PHPSHR of the new version seems to have a different procedure dispatch table: New routines added, old ones removed, reshuffeld sequence ...

It may be more stable, which is good. It's probably substantially bigger than MySQL 1.4 as well, and where my box is relatively small, to modern standards, that is, I wonder if it leaves room for other memory consumers like a web server and code executed by it (PHP and Python, in my case) - and ...

Next update is 2.5. Flawless upgrade, provided you have disable al plugin's in advance. No issues. It seems to be faster than 2.3.3 but memory footprint and load on the database engine is still considerable.

Check your tables (*except MySQL itself*) are INNODB. MyISAM on OpenVMS is known to corrupt your database.
If you followed the recommendations, your database should have InnoDB format on all tables by default, but I've noticed some packages to create tables using MyISAM in their databse-creation ...

Current version 2.3.3
I have set up one real blog with it (the 2008 bootcamp blog) and found it works well - but the load on the system - and particular MySQL - in considerable.
Comptability seems good. If you update your blog, new features will fit in; beware though that your theme / skin ...

On c.o.v. there has been a message that there will be a MOD_PHP 1.3 update that _should_ address a number of issues. At the end of this year, a release of PHP5(.2?) is planned.
Time for testing....
Hopefully, there will be building procedures as well in tyhe sourcekits.

10.x: Does NOT run on VMS. I'll have to re-examine some data but package nor release notes are found - not at PhPMyAdmin's own site, nor Sourceforge. My guess is it requires PHP5 - and that is not (yet) available on VMS...

11.x: Same problem: requires PHP5 + some specific elemens and extensions ...

The problem with missing buttons is solely related to the presentation. I use a slightly modified Galaxian for the site. The changes made by User_Shield are made on the subSilver skin only.
So I need to update the Galaxian memberlist to include both buttons (Activate and Remove).

but you'll need to update to 2.3.1 (or later) as soon as possible, there are a number of security issues (apart from other bugs) :x .

Be aware that the database structure has chaned significantly and presentation templatyes and plugins might simply NOT WORK - or partially. Wordpress.org keeps a ...

cache of IE7, I think. I have the same problem with a number of sites, not just phpMyadmin.
Delete temoprary files and cookies (all or selective - your choice) and the problem is over...

On my system, MySQL has a tendency of crashing, mostly when flushing buffers. The log states an OS code of 12 - and concludes "not enough core". 12 = 0C = ACCVIO - so what is the problem??? :evil:

This is very annoying - because it often happens when I'm not around. So I created a batchprocedure ...

I think this is generic to all PHP packages that use a database (MySQL, typically) but I know it holds for PHPBB2 and Wordpress: Database access information is stored - in plain text - in a PHP file: config.php for PHPBB2, wp-config.php for Wordpress. It contains database access information ...

Thanks for the tip, I downloaded the vaerion from the PHPBB2 site and got it installed, with some trouble (What I pblished on the SYSMGR blog is just the surface of the trouble. I didn't keep a full log).
I found that what it actually does is just hiding inactive members from the memberlist unless ...

The cause of this problem: the MySQL extension in MOD_PHP as delivered by HP is linked against MySQL 3.x.!!!!

The engine can be rebuild against MySQL 4.1 but you'll need a number of things. I've done that quite some time ago, follwoing the description on www.4ovms.dyndns.org - but the data seems to ...
