A short test
Just a short test tonight.
There are more people struggling with PHPMyAdmin, and in their communication of the WASD mailing list, Mark Berryman showed his mapping. It differs a bit from mine, and I think he doesn’t use logical names the way I do: his mapping links PHPMyAdmin to the real location – where I use a logical name.
I tried a similar construct, but the problem I run into persists: Once the login screen has been entered with username and password, the database secltion panel (on the left side of the windows) appears, it takes some time, but then it is all overwritten – with the login screen.
Examining the system, it seems there are several processes running PHPWASD – and these may lose context on the way, that may be causing this problem. What’s wrong with my environment….
By the way: It only runs on Firefox. IE8 cannot display even the database selection panel, it looses track of the site….
A new box coming
a colleague of mine has offered me a PWS 500 au, from 1998, so likely with EV56 processor. It has twice the memory compared to my current server, and a DDS3 tape unit. For free, I’ve just have to get to his place and get it.
That will be done this weekend, and some time the current hardware will be replaces with the new – but upgraded to run at 600Mhz, so at full speed. But still named Diana – it’ll be just the new hardware, running the VMS instance bearing that name.
