[11:37] <thethomaseffect> infoturtle:  ping
[11:37] <infoturtle> hey thethomaseffect
[11:38] <thethomaseffect> infoturtle:  hey man, did you get round to installing drupal on yer hosting yet?
[11:38] <infoturtle> I haven't but I can have it done inside an hour if you want
[11:39] <thethomaseffect> it's up to yourself really!
[11:39] <thethomaseffect> I'm trying to put together a morse code en/decoder so no rush :)
[11:40] <infoturtle> ya sure, we get progress done today, you know anything about progress on moving site hosts?
[11:40] <thethomaseffect> nah I've been awol for the last week, sick with the flu and computer was up in college accommodation
[11:41] <thethomaseffect> part of which has left me with a really sore back, so it's no fun sleeping in on a sunday morning ;__;
[11:42] <infoturtle> not to worry, supose we should follow up on it today, I may end up falling asleep as I have gotten about 4 hours sleep after a drunken night
[11:42] <infoturtle> sleeping on a Sunday is something even god himself does!
[11:45] <thethomaseffect> ha it's grand
[11:45] <thethomaseffect> if ya cna get me some ftp details and access to phpMyAdmin i'll do the rest!
[11:46] <infoturtle> I'll set somethings up for ya
[11:47] <thethomaseffect> savage
[12:11] <infoturtle> what drupal version do we need again thethomaseffect?
[12:11] <thethomaseffect> 7
[12:11] <thethomaseffect> newest one
[12:12] <infoturtle> didn't we want to start with an older version and work up no?
[12:17] <thethomaseffect> didn't we agree to drop that idea since it would probably end up taking longer?
[12:18] <infoturtle> my remember abilty is about 5~% what it normally is so I'll just install drupal 7 on the server and be quite
[12:21] <thethomaseffect> haha!
[12:22] <thethomaseffect> I'm gonna grab some breakfast, brb
[12:22] <infoturtle> cool
[13:56] <infoturtle> stupid drupal can't access a database that's there and can't contuine the install
[14:13] <davem> have you checked that all of the db details are correct?
[14:13] <davem> thats the most common error
[14:13] <infoturtle> I'm going over everything now, just spotted remote access is off but I'm using localhost so it shouldn't affect it
[14:20] <infoturtle> I hate all forms of SQL...........
[14:23] <davem> infoturtle: you hosted on blacknight?
[14:23] <infoturtle> nope, register 365
[14:23] <davem> fail :p
[14:24] <infoturtle> I know, but shes cheap
[14:24] <davem> how cheap out of interest?
[14:25] <infoturtle> 3.50~ monthly
[14:25] <davem> you find it good?
[14:26] <infoturtle> it's grand, some poor features like ftp is limited, no ssh, the interface offers little for the user, but for what I use it for, this grand
[14:27] <infoturtle> *tis
[14:27] <infoturtle> no, no remote sql without request either
[14:28] <davem> you're not going to get ssh on shared, how's the ftp limited?
[14:29] <davem> I know we (blacknight) have remote access to any of the mysql and postgres sql db's
[14:31] <infoturtle> sorry, I ment ftp support was limited, it was hard for e to set it up and they offered little help
[14:31] <infoturtle> I'm typing skills are poor based on my lack of sleep & soberness
[14:33] <infoturtle> any idea what this error is on about?
[14:33] <infoturtle> 'sql_mode' can't be set to the value of 'TRADITIONAL'
[14:35] <davem> never seen it before
[14:35] <davem> what are your connection settings?
[14:37] <infoturtle> it's and wizzard install for drupal, it asks me for sql data base settings, I give em the setting and it run queries I can't see so IDK what it's trying to do
[14:40] <davem> you do anything to the db? change any settings?
[14:41] <infoturtle> no, I just created it for this purpose, should be fine, may have to get onto hosting crowd as they don't allow remote access with asking them first, but it's using localhost so I don't get it
[14:42] <infoturtle> i duno, this is just anoying me at this hour
[14:44] <davem> try creating a fresh db
[15:04] <thethomaseffect> did you change the drupal SQl prefix? not the problem but should always be done on shared database just in case
[15:06] <infoturtle> won't matter right now, can't get past the database set up section but I will keep it in mind once I get remote access set up for the databases
[15:09] <thethomaseffect> bugger
[15:09] <thethomaseffect> I expected php_safe_mode to give trouble but not database
[15:10] <infoturtle> it's because by default my server by default does not allow remote access to databases
[15:10] <infoturtle> I just coppe we could just do this on the blackknight server.........
[15:12] <infoturtle> back in 5, going to reboot into ubuntu
[15:17] <thethomaseffect> It's not that big a deal
[15:17] <thethomaseffect> if we can get the absolute path to the current website it'd be easy to just tie the domain to the new hosting
[15:17] <thethomaseffect> and use the absolute path to get at all the content
[15:20] <infoturtle> sounds like you know what your talking about
[15:21] <thethomaseffect> oh it's all simple
[15:21] <thethomaseffect> in theory :D
[15:21] <thethomaseffect> like Ken Thompson once said "Unix is simple, so simple it takes a genius to understand it's simplicity"
[15:22] <infoturtle> ha ha, I like that one
[15:22] <thethomaseffect> acually getting the domain off canonical and repointing it is the bit of work there
[15:25] <thethomaseffect> if i don't reply btw it's because i'm killing zombies in dead rising 2 :)
[15:25] <thethomaseffect> have you played minecraft yet btw?
[15:26] <infoturtle> ya, I brought it ages back, class game!!
[16:11] <infoturtle> huzzar, figured the stupid problem out, it dsen't like MySQL v 4.1.1, but v5 it seems to like
[17:14] <infoturtle> I'm thinking about using drupal on menown site, can anyone tell me if you can put pictures into the posts or can you only add attachments like on ubuntu-ie.org?
[18:45] <thethomaseffect> you can put in pics, afaik there's a full WYSIWYG editor included
[18:45] <thethomaseffect> linky me infoturtle!
[18:46] <infoturtle> I'm just reuploading it cause it needs a database and the one I used was one I use for something else, so I must reinstall with a new one
