In order to install UBB.threads version 7 your server will need to meet the following requirements:

Minimum version of PHP: 4.3
Minimum version of MySQL: 4.0

is it tested under mySQL5 and php5.1x ?

Yes. I'm using the latest version of php and mysql for my development environment.

as am I

Sounds good

So what happens if I try to run it on mysql 3.23? My php is version 4.3.

How hard is it to upgrade mysql and will it interfere with my other boards if I go ahead and upgrade? I have two existing 6.5.2 boards running on the same box that I cannot interrupt while I test out the new version.

What you can do is install a webserver on your local machine to test with. I typically have a working webserver on my local machine for development purposes.

Thanks. I've never done this. I'll have to look into it.

Upgrading MySQL isn't too bad if it's your own server. Your 6.5 threads will run under MySQL 4 with no problems whatsoever, just not MySQL 5.

Yes, I have a full dedicated server with GoDaddy.

I can pay them to do it. But it shouldn't be that hard to upgrade I guess. I just wanted to make sure that the upgrade wouldn't interfere with the other boards. Well, other than the time I have to close them to do the upgrade.

I'm sure there is an upgrade tutorial on the mysql site?

Just to confirm; you "guarantee" no problems with mysql 4.0 and threads 6.5.2 right?

I will guarentee it if he doesn't; I've ran various .threads boards on my VPS with HostNuke running MySQL4

Thanks. Guess I'll go for it when the beta becomes available for download.

How can I become a beta tester for ver 7. I purchases a few months ago and have been trying to put ver 6 on my server that has mysql 5. Someone just responded that ubbthreads is not compatable with mysql 5, but ubb 7 is. Would someone please consider me a canidate to test 7. It seems like it is just about finished. I just don't want to let this weekend get away from me. Us computer geeks thrive off of 4 day weekends!!!

Thanks,

I sort of think it might be a little late for you to join the beta testing. But you can read here to see if you qualify:

http://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/39957/an/0/page/1#Post39957

The Public Beta starts whenever the documentation is done, so within a week or so I'd guesstimate...

I'd almost guess this weekend. It has got to be close.

yes please

Yeh, I want more beta testng friends

I want to see us go final soon. The more of us pounding on it the better to realize that goal.

If you need a virtual environment have a look at VMWare's virtual server product.. its a free download.

'eh I can never seem to get VMWare to work properly; it kept crying that my W98 disk had invalid files, eventhough I used 5 differant ones... Then I tried a CentOS install and basically the same thing :/... I wasn't satisfied one bit..

Another option for a virtual environment is Microsoft's Virtual PC. You can grab it for free from Microsoft!

Yes, I just booted a Linux ISO from it.

you mean they did something *right*?

I discovered that I have PHP 4.3.3, but only MySql 3.23.58 on a shared server.

Will it definitely NOT work on MySql 3.23.58?

It MAY work, but it'd be unsupported... theres only one way to see if it'll work though, and that's to test it...

I have requested that a MySql upgrade be done, therefore, I am waiting for a reply before doing anything further.
