Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Web Project Publishing USing MySQL

    I am trying to learn how to publish my first web project. I am using A5V10.5 with MySQL(actually MariaDB 10) as the back end. My Development machine is a Windows 7 Pro laptop on which I am using Navicat to create/manage my SQL tables. I want to publish to Windows 2003 SP2 (32-bit) server(the hardware is an HP DL380G4). Since my version of Navicat is 64-bit, I am unable to install that on the Windows 2003, 32-bit server. However, that is an easy work-around by simply installing HeidiSQL on the W2003 server. So, at this point I have installed the A5Appserver and have all my MySQL tables on the W2003 server. I need to know from here what other program elements I need on the W2003 web server to display my web pages and access the SQL tables. I am sure I will use an AlphaDAO connection to the SQL tables. Do i need to install Alpha5 Runtime on the W2003 server in addition to the A5AppServer? How do I get my web pages to access the SQL tables? I know there are probably dozens of threads posting information on this subject, but sometimes it takes hours to search for and find the one thread that exactly provides an answer to a specific question. If someone can point me to another thread that addresses this issue, I would much appreciate it.

    Re: Web Project Publishing USing MySQL

    I will try to answer as best as I can. if not good hopefully someone else will join and explain better.
    to serve your web pages using MySQL or any variant of that sql ( maria or Heidi)
    you will need
    alpha webserver and of course MySQL
    you create database and tables in the sql server.
    you create grids. dialogs and pages in alpha using your development machine and test it there using preview.
    once all done you publish the alpha components to the server. only web pages are seen, ideally you will have index a5w or tabbedui page that will redirect you to various other pages. you can use MySQL in your machine to test and possibly insert data. you can dump and restore in the server so your data will migrate from development machine to the server if navicat or some other gui such as toad is not suitable.
    you do not need runtime since this is web based.
    there are articles in alpha how to set up server you may refer to them as well as security.
    I have moved away from 10.5 so I cannot give you specific answers to items limited to 10.5
    but this forum is good, many will help you out.
    thanks for reading
