OK, I know this thread is 4 years old - but, just out of interest, are we anywhere nearer to a version of Actinic with MySql db capability?

Hi,
We have just launched Actinic Express which is an entry level php solution with a MySQL database backend. There is more information about this here or here.
I'm afraid that I have no more information of version of the Catalog with MySQL capabilites apart from the fact that it isn't included in v8.********************

Quick note for the Actinic Developers...
Although there are a number of discussions (especially in this thread) regarding the use of PHP or ASP...
But the one point that seems to be more or less unanymous is we all would like to see Actinic DITCH PERL!!!
Seeing Tracey's post it looks like we have heard you before you have said anythng. :-)

Funny, was just thinking about the possibility of a PHP version earlier today. PHP gets my vote. ASP cuts out the non Windows servers; limits the market for a new format of Actinic.

Yes, but I have heard that it does not always run well. We have a leased G4 Proliant running RHESL-4 and any add-ons not tested/approved could break the warranty. At the moment I cannot upgrade beyond PHP 4.3.9 and MySQL 4.1.12 without compromising warranty etc.

It is possible to run ASP on Apache using an add-in module
Here's a note from the Apache::ASP docs.
NOTE: Apache::ASP only supports ASP code already written in Perl. To use Apache::ASP with NT/Windows/IIS ASP pages written in VBScript, the ASP code must be rewritten in Perl.Norman - www.drillpine.biz

mod_mono supports ASP.NET on apache and ModVB supports ASP/VBscript and Jscript. Have not got the time to trial them at the moment.Bill

I took a quick look at Actinic Express, thought to myself, "Ahh.. that's what's meant by 'Entry Level'", and immediately checked back out - Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but I prefer the PC based Actinic idea much better..
What are the chances of there being some kind of an upgrade, a plug-in which can translate from a MySQL DB to CGI, or something similar in the future?still thinking of one...

An online database is a logical step for Actinic to take, as it allows so many more flexible features in the online store, that we simple cannot achieve with an offline solution at the minute. So all I can say is that we are thinking about it at the moment. Watch this space.
