Alexair Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Hello y'all, I just checked my website provider and I posted on their forum some questions about installing phpVMS. The answer was: "It (phpVMS) will not run as the InnoDB tables are not permitted." Is there any other possibilities to make phpVMS run in this case?? Thanks Alex Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted January 26, 2010 Administrators Report Posted January 26, 2010 Hmm, not really, since I use foreign keys to ensure database integrity, and only InnoDB tables support foreign keys. Sorry BTW, who is your host? Quote
Alexair Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 Hello Nabeel, Here is my host: http://1hebergement.com/ It is a french company. I'll try to get in touch with them to confirm that it will not work. This is pretty bad as I don't have any other choice for managing my VA and I really wanted to go with phpVMS... Alex Quote
Alexair Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 Allright, I just called them and effectively it is not possible to have InnoDB. Except if I am going for a dedicated server which will cost 4.5 times more than what I have now. Is there any other possibility to have phpVMS working without InnoDB or is there any other similar program (payware or freeware) that will work without InnoDB ?? Thanks for your help. Alex Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted January 26, 2010 Administrators Report Posted January 26, 2010 Can you switch hosts, if you're not in a contract? I don't understand their reason for disabling InnoDB, many programs use InnoDB tables. As for now, there isn't any other way Quote
Alexair Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Posted January 27, 2010 Well I paid for the full year now so I guess I'm stuck... I realized something, it appear than the host is using MyISAM instead of InnoDB. Is there a way to make phpVMS working with this one? Thanks, Alex Quote

I realized something, it appear than the host is using MyISAM instead of InnoDB. Is there a way to make phpVMS working with this one? Thanks, Alex Some tables use MyISAM, some use InnoDB. I guess you could convert the InnoDB ones by hand to myisam (in install.sql and then run the installer), but you would lose foreign keys. I've coded phpvms torely on those keys, and while you mi ght be ok in most cases, it could break in others. I can't support it in that case. So you're free to modify it yourself (the install.sql file) Quote
Alexair Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks Nabeel, I'll see what we can do about that. Alex Quote
Moderators mark1million Posted January 27, 2010 Moderators Report Posted January 27, 2010 You can always put your database somewhere else and connect to it from your host, thats another thought... Quote
Strider Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 pm me if you want me to host your db. Cheers Dan C Quote
Alexair Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Posted January 28, 2010 Hello mark1million, Yes, you right, I never thought about that until yesterday evening... Hello nightfox, I have received a private E-mail yesterday evening from someone proposing me to host my db. Look like he is going to do it. I'll see how it will work. Thanks for the offer, I'll keep you posted with the result. Thanks to all of you for your help, it is very much appreciated Alex Quote
