DMP 2

Just a small note to me from me, that I have started to work on DMP 2, which as you know is a replacement for DMP 1. Yes it does all make sense, I think...


Anyway DMP 1 has a problem in that its on an old database and everytime I don an SQL dump and then try to upload that dump into the new MYSQL it fails hence the restart. Which is not all bad news as how I need to present the data in DMP 2 is going to be easyeir using the new software and the database.

James Follett Wiki (JFW) Part a 3 now with a part a

Yes, there is a part 3, just found out the reason why I can not upgrade the wiki from version 1.84 to 10.01 and it is something that I do not have any control over, and that is, that my ISP One&One.co.uk do not yet offer PHP 5.0 or MySQL 5.00 as standard.

Now to be fair to them, they allow for the money I pay for me to have just 2 100Meg MySQL databases which can be version 4 or 5. the snag is that I have both in use with the wiki on the version 4, to make matters worse I have other programmes using both the version 4 and 5.

I don't know if a database dump works from version 4 to 5 and knowing my luck the answer is no. ( With the luck that I have had in the past I just do not fancy taking the risk or all the work it would take)

So I am stuck with what I have at this time, maybe I will be lucky and my ISP will fall into line with other providers and give my more databases ( some hosting ISP's are allowing you as many as you want, not too sure how they can do that, but it may be that like most things most users do not use what is provided or they only use part of what is given) and more up to date versions of php and MySQL.
