RE: Why Greg hates the forum - Greg - 10-12-2022
Giving it another shot today. First time was again failure as the install wanted to erase the database and all the data. I'm not falling for that a third time.
However, I just came across the one file I was not supposed to overwrite. It's buried in the documentation as opposed to front and center on the upgrade page. Grrrr.

We appreciate your sacrifice here even more so than any of us jumping on cinematic grenades.
RE: Why Greg hates the forum - Drunk Monk - 10-17-2022
Just a heads up...
I'm getting SQL errors here a lot lately. If I leave the forum and come back again, they are resolved. But it could be a telltale sign of some future issue...

If it's any consolation, we're not seeing that. I'm not anyway. Are you writing the SQL or is it all part of the application?
RE: Why Greg hates the forum - Greg - 10-17-2022
It's all part the application. The PHP writes the MYSQL code to access the Database.
RE: Why Greg hates the forum - King Bob - 10-17-2022
I run a couple of PHP/MySQL websites. Let me know if I can help you with anything.
RE: Why Greg hates the forum - Greg - 10-17-2022
Cool. There is some weird part of my hosting site that makes the upgrade problematic. I just have to keep kicking it until it works.

SQL like a pig!
Actually no. It just pops up every once in a while as I'm surfing through D00M4M.

Ditto on the occasional SQL interruptus.
RE: Why Greg hates the forum - King Bob - 10-19-2022
Strange. I've never seen that.
RE: Why Greg hates the forum - Greg - 07-04-2023
The time has come. I'm going to move to a different hosting site. They raised my rates again and it is just too much, especially considering my hosting company isn't even one of the top companies. I think I've hosted with for at least twenty years. When I complained about the price to their sales rep, they offered a dollar off a month. Then they added an additional 50 cents off.
In the course of the next few weeks, things might get interrupted here on the site. Hopefully things don't get lost permanently. I have until August when my hosting account renews. God speed.

Best of luck and let us know if we can help.
If anything is lost, I might not remember what movies I've seen...
RE: Why Greg hates the forum - King Bob - 07-04-2023
I use WebHostingPad.com for my website. It's sort of bare bones but it was much cheaper than others I looked at. Just looking, I see that there is a bulletin board app, phpBB.

Things seemed to be cranky over at the servers.
