Hi,

I have a lot of MySQL databases with PHP installed on 10.3.9 .
Has anyone had any issues with their MySQL (or PHP) while upgrading to Tiger?

Any compatibility issues with applications like Microsoft, Adobe, Macromedia?

I just feel that 10.4 is a greater leep then Jaguar to Panther.

Thanks for any help.
 
Dunno about the MySQL/PHP. But no incompatibilities for me with MS/Adobe/Macromedia. MS has already said they would issue a VPC update in the near future for possible troubles with Tiger. I don't use that, really. Maybe someone with a running VPC on Tiger can tell more?
 
Make sure you do a MySQL Dump and back up before you install Tiger. If anything should go wrong it wont be hard to restore your MySQL database.
 
I kind of expected this.
I upgraded my computer to Tiger and in the process it deleted the PHP module and MySQL also.

*** Web developpers ***
BACKUP YOUR MySQL DBs!!!!!

/Library/WebServer/Documents stays complete though.
 
In my case, it deleted the PHP module (as far as I can tell), the MySQL stuff is fine... BUT... get this... I've stopped and started Web Sharing and cannot for the life of me find httpd.conf or httpd.conf.default or anything like that.. and also find zero (real) documentation on Web Sharing.

Could anyone point me to httpd.conf ??? because even if I reinstall PHP, I'll still need to edit the httpd.conf to enable the module. ???
 
You can use BBEDIT to edit /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Change "un-comment" the following two lines:
#LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
#AddModule mod_php4.c

Then save the file by putting "root" as your login.

Worked fine for me... still having problems with MySQL though... I really liked YourSQL.app... and under Tiger it's not working... have to find something else... any suggestions?

Thank you.
 
I had no problems enabling PHP again (just uncommented a couple of lines in the httpd.conf file, as documented here).

I had more problems with MySQL 4.1.11 but actually it was an easy fix in the end. I just needed to make sure that MySQL was set up to use the old password hashing algorithms before setting any of the passwords. I use MySQL Administrator, as provided by MySQL.com. I documented my traumas here. Hope it helps.
