I know the documentation says UBB.threads requires MySQL 4.0+ (currently I have 4.1.22-standard) and PHP 4.3+ (currently 4.4.8)

I'm about to switch servers at my host to see if things help, and they asked the following -- I'm pretty sure the answer is NO to all these, right?

Does your site require any special Apache, PHP, or Gem modules installed? Does your site require MySQL 4.1 or will a server running MySQL 5.0 service your site just the same?

Is there a different between MySQL 4.* and 5.* for the sake of Threads? Recommendation?

Thanks

PHP5/MySQL5 will run the UBB without issues; I do it myself on my servers and roll it out on client servers as well.

Thanks, Giz. Is either preferred or it really doesn't matter?

you don't get much more BANG, because the software limits itself to 4x type queries...

5 is preferred, by me as a developer though and it's more capable..

soooo, if an upgrade to mysql 5 is buck free, then do it.. if it costs, i don't see why you'd HAVE to just for ubbthreads..

i always recommend 5, when it's possible though..

also apache 2.2 and php 5 as well wink

The reason I asked was I had several CGI misbehaved issues with 7.4.1 and I upgraded from PHP4 to PHP5. Which solved them. I am sure it was a host problem. But I still have some minor issues with other items so I was wondering if I should just upgrade MYSQL to 5. It will be a few calls to change since I did not select 5 when I built the database and upgraded from classic but it still will be a no cost item.

Wouldn't hurt and is always preferable to run current versions if ever possible.
