plesk is not much better, the 8.01 version I am on errors about every 5th screen. I hope 8.02 fixes it

'eh I say screw it and just tar it all up myself ... I got pretty good at being a millitant BoFH at the webhost, manual backups, portings, dumps, crontasks, security checks... gah

Not had a single problem with 8.01 so far.

hmmm.... that will probably mean I will now

That makes it a little scary about moving this onto a new server, although they will not delete what is on the old server until they know that the stuff on the new server is working ok.

I would prefer they would do an upgrade of MySql instead, however, they don't seem to want to do that.

I may do a backup and see how it works on version 7.

I may also test out Version 7, Beta 5 to see how it works there, as that will help me in reaching a decision on what to try and do.

I am finding out search doesn't work with mysql 3.23.58 - throws a 'you've got an error in your syntax' error. Mysql 3.x is just soooo old - webhosts that insist on running it should be abandoned and made to shout 'unclean' when they advertise

I agree whole heartedly Allen ;)...

I think one reason they don't upgrade is how passwords where updated in MySQL4, and don't realise you can have them fnction the same way with some tweaking :/

That's a 2 second reset

Their hosts just offered them a paid upgrade to mysl 4.1 - it's only 2 years old: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/news-4-1-7.html :no:

yeh, i find it funny when they charge you (the customer) to have them upgrade their server to a current release...

All depends upon the Control panel though - some are slow to work officially with the latest all singing all dancing verions, which many users just do not need.
