Problems with diff PHP/MySQL versions ?

..I am having lot of problems with following

-> When i build site on XAMPP (Windows) with following config

+ Apache 2.2.2
+ MySQL 5.0.21
+ PHP 5.1.4 + PEAR

and then migrate my site to my linux based server

Apache 1.3.37
PHP 4.4.4
MySQL 4.0.27-standard


Problems = I got that SQUID error once..on weblinks module..

I got the "could not register user" error


There are no problems when site runs on XAMPP or on the server ..the problem is only when i transfer site from XAMPP to the server

also when exporting database from XAMPP phpmyadmin i use the MySQL 4.0 compatibility option otherwise the sql statements dont work.

please advise..

thanks

Re: Problems with diff PHP/MySQL versions ?

...there is surely a problem with phpmyadmin's MySQL 5 to MySQL 4 compatible export

the xoops_users uid was missing out on "auto_increment" option

there is a mysqldump command line method to change MySQL 5 to 4 but i havent yet tried that out..for the moment i am sticking to MySQL 4..instead of using 5.

cheers,

..i took the structure of XOOPS original sql..and just exported the data..and it worked ...!!!

so now thats one way u can get MySQL 5 to work on MySQL 4...and not get the could not register user error

I think the problem is with MySQL, not phpMyAdmin. I experimented with various mysqldump options, and couldn't find any combination that would properly convert from MySQL 5 to MySQL 4, without losing attibutes such as auto-increment.

And the auto-increment attribute is kind of important.

Unfortunately the XAMPP developers seem determined to get you to install the very latest PHP and MySQL versions. You can actually switch between PHP 4 and 5 (they're both included in the XAMPP package) but it's a chore. It would be far better to have the choice of versions at the installation stage IMHO.

I believe you can still get XAMPP packages that install PHP 4 and MySQL 4, but there are no links to these from their website. Someone did post a link here once, but I lost it.

If you do re-configure, don't forget to mirror your server's 'register_globals' and 'safe_mode' settings too. Quite a few older XOOPS modules will simply not work with 'globals' off.
A thread is for life. Not just for Christmas.

You can get older versions of XAMPP from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/

If you click on the "notes" icon for a particular version of XAMPP, it will list the PHP and MySQL versions.

Re: Problems with diff PHP/MySQL versions ?

..and because of the missing "auto_increment" option the new user was getting an UID of 0 because of which I was getting the "Could not register user" error

and if i go to Find Users and click on the user..it gave the message "User doesnt exist"

so there you go..if you get these two errors..one possibility is you are converting MySQL 5 to 4.

i feel like a pro

For older versions here is a link listing the details of either the linux or windows packages. Will give you a quick overview to find a particular combination:
