I just installed the current version of 1.3.x and I can't use dba. My configurator shows... "Supported handlers are: cdb,cdb_make,db3,inifile,flatfile" I pretty much know what flatfile is, but what is cdb and db3? flat file appeals to me because the files are more universal because they are stored as text and can be copied and referenced without PHPWiki if needed. I don't want to store my pages in some kind of format where I can't open them unless PHPWiki is working, even if it means sacrificing some features. Thanks for any help! P.S. Sorry for the rerepost. Now I've posted as a new thread altogether. |

Thank you very much. I did that and it worked. But I got an error that said that my data is in the /tmp directory and should be moved.=20 I expected that. I wanted to try a default installation just to get it up and running. is the /tmp directory relative to phpwiki home directory? I tried to ftp in and I never saw a "tmp" folder. So I wonder where it is? On 8/24/05, Reini Urban <ru...@x-...> wrote: > > I just installed the current version of 1.3.x and I can't use dba.

Thanks, I figured it out myself. I thought the docs said that the paths are relative to the phpwiki directory, but they're not. I had to get some php to run to find my physical path so that my stuff could go in the right place. Thanks On 8/24/05, Jolly Green Giant <jgg...@gm...> wrote: > Thank you very much.

Well, I found my db3 file and it is not a text file, but a binary one. What other programs can read this file type?

> Well, I found my db3 file and it is not a text file, but a binary one. > What other programs can read this file type? db3 is the PHP abbrevation of Berkeley DB version 3. Current is 4. http://www.sleepycat.com/ To read the keys you can use the php API. berkeley db also has its binaries, e.g. db_dump The advantage over flatfile is the speed, locking and stability.
