OpenVMS VAMP Board

Hello friends, I have resurrected the VAMP board and brought it back
online, http://vamp.issinoho.com

Some notes...
Please note that this is NOT running on OpenVMS yet, however that is the
end goal.
I have upgraded to latest versions of EVERYTHING so there may be glitches.
Content is as-was when it was last backed up around 7 years ago, so is
stale and outdated.

I intend to keep this running now and update gradually as I build up the
VSI stack, so please help me to contribute.

Many thanks.

Nice to see this again... Even though I'm not doing VMS anymore... I am doing web development full time, almost exclusively using Drupal 8 (some Drupal 7 & 9).

The last time I logged in was in 2006!

Just a comment -- can you get this running under https? I'm wary about putting in a password when it's not a secure site.

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 with VSI license is that there is no custering on Itanium which is a shame on VSI. So I will have to either think of another way of exchanging files, probably using Decnet (allowing direct access which TCPIP lacks ) , of forget about it alltogether.

Wiull keep you updated using my blog (still wordpress, still on www.grootersnet.nl/sysblog

No Apache user anymore - for years now - and VERY HAPPY with WASD. Not using PHP's port by HPE either, nor MySQL. Swicthed to Mark Berryman's ports of PHP (current latest version 7.3) and MariaDB (5.5) - which, BTW, is now also adopted by VSI. Problems with running wordpress using later versions of PHP - mainly matter of performance and loss of connection with database; cannot update to latest version either: Won't run but no signal on what causes it. Should run, but it simply doesn't. So wotking on a (VMS-based) content management system...

Nice to have you all back.

I'm trying to get the VAMP stack running on the following.

• FreeAXP 4.0.0.646
• VSI AXPVMS VMS V8.4-2L1
• VSI AXPVMS TCPIP V5.7-13ECO5F
• VSI AXPVMS SSL111 V1.1-1GB
• VSI AXPVMS CSWS V2.4-38D
• JFP AXPVMS MYSQL051 V23.1-0
• PHP 7.2.29 (Berrymans)
• phpBB-3.3.1

I have got basic PHP working however struggling with anything more complex.

Now that I have this resource back, and I have managed to upgrade my old phpBB v2 backup to v3 using a Windows install, my next job is to get MySQL ==> MariaDB and then have another go.

What is the best resource for MariaDB walkthrough on OpenVMS?
