Running VAMP on OpenVMS 8.4 IA64

Post by RSX11M »

We have much of VAMP running successfully on OpenVMS V8.4 and V8.4--2L1.

On our primary system we are using the following:

PHP V5.6.17 - ported to VMS by Mark Berryman
Apache V02.065 from the HP CSWS02021
MariaDB V5.5.25 - ported to VMS by Mark Berryman

PHP and MARIADB can be found at https://www.theberrymans.com/php_kits/

We have been able to install and successfully run a number of PHP applications:

Mediawiki V1.23.3 with the Category Tree and WYSIWYG Editor
PhpMyAdmin V4.8.3
MantisBT
webERP

and numerous other packages. There are issues with some packages that require newer versions of PHP, APACHE or MYSQL/MARIADB or are written assuming strong LINUX or WINDOWS binding.

phpBB, JOOMLA and WordPress work if using a version that supports the installed VAMP components. We currently utilize Typesetter for simple WYSIWYG web site development.
