When Is The Next MySQL Upgrade?
- Thread starter bradovich
- Start date
Seconding this. The general reseller hosting community has been dragging its feet for some time about PHP5/mySQL5 while many dedicated outfits (including some I've worked for) find it to be a completely stable production environment. I'm not sure what the impetus is at JodoHost and I'm not trying to assign motive because I've had very few problems here and have found JodoHost to be the best reseller host that I've used (going on year two now!), but I would like to know why the upgrade path is now a year or two behind schedule for the industry. It's becoming untenable in this industry to have to ask for the technology to keep pace with the world, something that should be part of the business model.wotech said:
Thanks!
Stephen, thanks for the quick reply.Stephen said:It is the control panel holding us back on this, and evne upgrading to the new "2.5" does not support mysql 5
I've run into that across the industry. I hate to complain at you, because I know you'd rather not be held back by the CP software (my last host had this same issue with Plesk instead of H Sphere, so I've run into this before); however, I am forced to inquire further about this kind of thing - how tenable is it for the entire reseller hosting industry to be dependent on CPanel (bleh), Plesk and H Sphere when these applications have a history of falling years behind the upgrade path for the primary technologies they're built to support? Is there any solution to this besides the "hold your breath" or "move hosts" approaches - niether of which will help? I find it bizarre mainly because the technologies themselves are incredibly legacy friendly.
It is not simply a patch, we have been told by psoft that is is NOT ready for large cluster like ours. It is a MASSIVE upgrade, and the 2.5 series really doens't offer much, 2.5.1 that was renamed to 3.0 offers more options and it is in RC status.
Let me put it this way:
2.5 offeed asp.net 2, but only 1.1 OR 2.0 at host side set.
2.5.1(3.0RC2) offers user switching of asp.net version, the only way to do it.
2.5 offered php5 support, but only set from host side
2.5.1(3.0RC2) offers more flexilbe php configs
They both have a large windows bug that has not yet been resolved, I am not going to discuss it in here, it is being discussed privately on the psoft forums.

Is there no way, for the time being, a new independant MYSQL could be placed on the network. I have 3 customers now asking to go up to Moodle 1.7 and I'm going to have to source an external DB only server. Anybody requesting the more modern MOODL install would then be set up an account on there.
Just an idea.. I dont want to find some one else to do this if theres a way here..

There is really no way at this time as the versions have different libraries, which work differently. Basically if we were to do it outside of hsphere like we have with MSSQL 2005, it would not work because the libraries are different. Same for the windows side of using mysql, mixing the old and new versions just does not work because of libclient differences, one would have errors logging ing and working and the other would work.

I just tried to install Moodle 1.7.1 for a customer, and it failed because of the fact that MySQL 4.1.16 is REQUIRED to run this software.
I guess I'll have to open another account somewhere where the latest versions of MySQL are installed..
Oh well... Dang it, I really like using JodoHost, but I can't pass up this customer....
