I need to upgrade a friend's site so that it can run the current stable release, and I found what the requirements are for that. But if I am going to change servers and go through all the headaches of switching, I want to make sure that the new server is capable of running the 0.8 series when it is ready for general public use. Looking at the forum postings, I saw something about PHP 4.3, but nothing about minimums for MySQL. Does anybody know what are the minimum requirements for 0.8? Are there any special database or PHP config options I need to be aware of?

due to security reasons i'd simply recommend to use the latest stable builds of apache/php and mysql. postnuke should run with a minimum of PHP 4.1.0+ and MySQL 4.1.x but both 4.x series are deprecated by their vendors. personally i'd recommend some additional stuff like adodb-extension, suhosin, pecl:apc and modsecurity but this depends on the server-administrator.
BTW: phpsecinfo gives a brief overview about secure (and therefore recommended) server-settings

Hi Lars,

Please note that there is no adodb-504 extension for PHP 5.2.4 (to my knowledge). I am not sure when the guys over there will release a compatible version.

Well, I have ADODB 5.04 running with PHP 5.2.4
I guess you need to compile it for yourself if there is no appropriate package available.

Hi Guite,

Can you document your steps that you used to compile ADODB 5.04?

Thanks

I have it also compiled - under debian.

I used the dotdeb PHP stuff for debian - including APC and
suhoshin and newest patches.

http://www.dotdeb.org/

Compile and install of the ADODB bin was flawless.
Pretty normal make all/make install and then
activate as normal module for apache/php.

You should note which OS you use with what LAMP where
you want compile.

That's on sidux/Debian Sid, but other distributions might also have packaged it already.

Sorry guys for not be clear. This is what I would like to install. It apparently speeds up code by nearly 100%. It's ADODB extension in C. The URL is:

http://adodb.sourceforge.net/#extension
============
Speed Up Your PHP Code with the ADOdb extension
Adodb-ext-504.zip provides up to 100% speedup by replacing parts of ADOdb with C code. ADOdb will auto-detect if this extension is installed and use it automatically. This extension is compatible with ADOdb 3.32 or later, and PHP 4.3.*, 4.4.*, 5.0.* and 5.1.*. Source code for all platforms and and binaries for Windows included.

26 Nov 2005 released 5.1 compatible version.

27 July 2005, released 4.4 compatible version.

29 Nov 2004, released thread-safe PHP4 and PHP5 compatible version, with fewer dll dependancies. PHP 5: tested on RedHat8 on WinXP. PHP 4.3.3: tested on RedHat8, WinXP and Win2000.
============

As noted, last release 26 Nov 2005, for 5.1, no 5.2, much less 5.2.4 support.

Please if I am incorrect let me know wheter I need this or not. This is what PN .8 complains about....adodb-extension, not regular ADODB that ships with PN.

Thanks

supa

No, you are right - thats exactly the version what we talked about.

Go and compile - it works.

I simply think there is no 5.2.x version because there are no problems
compared to 5.1. .

I also never so any reports in that direction.

my bad,

it works like a charm.

thanks for unraveling the confusion.
