 Topic: Sacrilege --> ASP & mySQL forum?
Posted: 04 September 2003 at 10:26pm |
My SQL Server is remote from my website, and hence very slow. I can't afford another SQL Server license, so...
Does anyone know of a forum like WWF or PHPBB that uses ASP and mySQL?
Thanks

I guess, this is not the right place to ask such a question, isn't it?

As far I know, there is one at http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1 This is in ASP.NET rather than plain ASP. The funny thing is this is a Microsoft Site but for some reason they use MySQL. I have not tried this myself. Its just what I have been told. There is also another one called Snitz forums http://forum.snitz.com. I know for a fact they support MySqL
You should try and use MSDE instead of SQL Server which is a better option cost wise
Of course the ASP.NET and snitz forums are nowhere near as good as this WEBWIZ one. I still like this.

I wish I could keep WWF on the server, but I'm stuck with the SQL Server being remote...

The MSDE has full blown SQL functionality (almost), but is only for development, and not production use. You still have to shell out the cash for another SQL Server licence...

MSDE is supplied on the office 2000 cd, does that not mean you have paid for it. I thought you could legally use it in a production environment if you "OWN" a copy of office for example. Maybe I'm wrong !!

You could alter the code to speed up the forum. That's what I did. My SQL Server and Web server are 3 time zone apart.

MSDE Stand for Microsoft Desktop Envioronment. It's a way to have MS SQL server functionality available at your desktop during application development. To run the app on a server, you stil need an SQL server license.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Altering the code will have little or no effect. The problem is that the network that the SQL Server is on is complete garbage, and no amount of code optimization can compensate for the slow network...
Actually, it isn't complete garbage... just 99%... Internally it is fine - it's WAN connectivity is the problem...
