  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.

  Code

  $ apt-cache policy php5-adodb|grep Installiert
    Installiert:5.04-1
  $ apt-cache policy php5|grep Installiert
    Installiert:5.2.4-1

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

  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

  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.
