Re: MySql / ZENDDbi running on i

Depends on what you mean by "better" Jack.

If writing your own PHP code you would normally use the DB2 access
directly.

If you have an application that uses mySQL then I personally would only
use the DB2 storage engine for those tables where I need to process the
data with both PHP and RPG.

At this point I'm going to stop this post and wait for you to reopen this
thread on the Web400 list. David will just get cross with us if we
continue it here. <grin>

P.S. In order to use the Admin console you do apparently need a key from
Zend for the current version - either a full license key or one for the
basic edition. I would suggest you do as I suggested earlier and just drop
a copy of adminer into your root folder and use that. It is every bit as
good as PHPmyAdmin and better in some ways as well as being simpler and
faster.

Hi Jon: I can't get to Phpmyadmin, only the screen that tells me to

choose

a version of Zend. I guess a license is required? I've tried to fill

out

the serial number for the basic version but I never hear back from Zend.

I'm going to give them a call today because I think it would be better to
use Db2 on the i instead of mySql.

Thanks

Well I don't know what PHP you are running if not Zend <grin>

If you go to yourSystemName:10080/ZendServer/ you should be taken to

the

control panel which at some point you'll need particularly if working

with

Wordpress.

From there you can also set up PHPMyAdmin which you'll find a useful

tool

for setting authorities, backing up tables, etc. With a tool like WP the
"database" - if such it can be called - probably holds no interest as

far

as using it from RPG or SQL is concerned, but that interface also makes

it

easy to change the underlying DB storage engine so that you could

switch to

using the DB2 storage engine if desired for software where you do want

to

share the data.

I have a working PHP Apache instance. We don't really use Zend as far

as I

know.

When I go to
http://myserver:10080/wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=1 I see

the

page to enter the DB connection details.

When I enter the correct info, I get the page
Error establishing a database connection

If I create a wp-config.php file, it tells me it already exists.

Thanks for the quick response.

Jack can you be a bit more precise about " it's not working." - that
really doesn't help.

Can you see the Zend Server control panel?

Can you see a regular HTML page when using this Apache server

instance?

When you try to launch WP what happens? Does it show you the setup

page

or

???
