    • Recommend a Host for me?

    Posted by Kent Barrett posts: 175 Canada

    Hey, sorry if off-topic, but I don't know where else to post.

    I'm having a number of difficulties with installation and a somewhat un-cooperative ISP. It's not worth the hair I'm pulling out. Consequently I'm looking for an ISP who offers a straight-forward clean TikiWiki 3.0 installation on a reasonably fast server and knows something about it.

    Can anyone recommend from personal experience such a host?

    Thanks,

    -Kent

    Hi

    I am using siteground.com and had no problems so far. Clean Tikiwiki install depends on fantastico, if they have already upgraded their script it will be there. What I did was to install 2.4 and than manually upgrade to 3.0, it went fine, had no problems with it.

    Cheers,

    Cheers, Gezza.

    Are there any particular caveats or procedure to upgrading the 2.4 to 3.0 on their system?

    Hi

    Not really, all went fine. I had one site already running on 2.4, just ftp-d the files of 3.0 than copied over the on the 2.4 files, deleted the lock file from db folder, than run tiki-install.php and made upgrade to the db. Got some SQL query errors but nothing seems to impact the operation.

    I also made some clean installs on subdomains, in this case just copied the 3.0 files to the directory, created a db with the cpanel mysql wizard and made an install. In this case be warned that 3 of the profiles wont install, I had to go for the small company if I remember correctly..anyway, keep trying, one of them will succeed, than you can configure tiki for your needs anyway.

    One thing makes me sad these days: I cant get the intertiki feature working among my tikis installed there, client tikis dont recognise the master tiki key. I am not yet sure if it is something with the settings of the siteground or with tiki, did not have time to test locally yet

    One more thing if you plan to move here: their mysql db import size limit in phpmyadmin is around 50mb - so not likely you can just import your db, you would need shell access to import from command line. Probably support can help you, I did not try.

    hope it helps,
    cheers,
    Gezza

    ZebraHost now has at least one successful TikiWiki 3.0 site (mine), and they've been very good about support.

    Much obliged for the suggestions. I needed current success stories :-)
