3.0.10 Problems


Guest bram

Recommended Posts

I've recently downloaded CC 3.0.10 and my server is running Windows 2003 Server; IIS/6.0; PHP 5.12; MySQL 5.0.19-nt.

There have been many little problems since installation to getting the store running, after a lot of forum and web trawling, and great help from my hostmaster at www.dhosting.co.uk and Estelle, they all now seem to fixed and hope I don't get any more!

These are the ones which affected my install (for a client) so others may get there quicker. I'll be emailing Brooky!

On installation

MySQL Error 1264: Out of range value adjusted for column 'percent' at row 1

A decimal range problem when using SQL 5, I found this myself but Estelle's fix is in http://www.cubecart.com/site/forums/index....showtopic=14089

Category creation

1366: Incorrect decimal value: '' for column 'per_ship' at row 1

A similar problem to above but more rapidly fixed again by Estelle's solution in...

None of those are "bugs" per se. When we (programmers collectively) write software, we write to a particular user base including particular server software and options. With that said, let's look at the world of hosting servers out there.

As of right now, the majority of hosts still run Linux/Unix, Apache, PHP and MySQL. There are some running Winblows servers, but the number of sites hosted on Micro$oft machines are drastically lower than *nix variants.

When you look at the software running on those machines, MOST are still running PHP4. Some have PHP5, but not that many by a numerical comparison. Also, very few commercial hosts are running MySQL 5 yet....some still running 3.23.x versions.

The reason? Compatibility. The available software base written for these less-than-cutting-edge server setups is unbelievably overwhelming compared to the few that are tweaked to run on the latest and greatest.

So what we (again, programmers collectively) must do is adapt as necessary as the inevitable inconsistencies arise with new server software. Sometimes this is simply syntactical changes, other times it requires new functions and major section rewrites. Because I can assure you, for every new-fangled server that wakes up on the net, there will be somebody trying to run our applications on something that should have been retired 3 or 4 years ago.

Just to let you know. I recently decommissioned and replaced a server running RedHat 6.2. It had been functioning perfectly as a web/mail/db server since 2001. Just to give you an idea of how old this thing was in the scheme of web servers, it was running Plesk 1.3.1.....Plesk just released 8.0.

Anyway, that's the ramblings of a fat white guy in Arkansas for the evening. Have a good day!

:D
