Advert Question

[acidburn0520]

I'd like to setup a test board for our forum and I wanted to know if I needed advertisements on that. It will naturally be password protected, per vBulletin's TOS regarding Test Boards, so it wouldn't be accessible to anyone but myself.

Thanks.

If by password protected you mean via a .htaccess file, then you don't need ads.

 

[acidburn0520]

Okay, thanks lambada -- yes it'll be through .htaccess.

Edit: I may as well ask in this thread rather than creating another. Would it be possible for me to get temporary SSH Access? The SQL Database I'm using for our Test Board is upwards of 50mb -- so uploading through phpMyAdmin isn't going to happen. Thanks again.

Is it already on the server, the db i mean????

 

[acidburn0520]

No, I can FTP it if you'd like.

 

[Brandon]

Ya becasue there is no difference between using SSH, phpMyAdmin, or FTP, as it will take around the same time

 

[acidburn0520]

No, SSH is incredibly fast in importing databases. Back when our website ran under Linux, I used SSH to import SQL backups all the time for restoration purposes; it took no more than 5-10 seconds -- phpMyAdmin, anywhere from 2-3 hours, which led to timeout problems.

 

[Brandon]

oh, idn, it wont timeout, if it does let us know and we can extend the time limit.

 

[acidburn0520]

I got a Maximum Execution Time error... could you refer an Admin to the thread and see if I could get Shell access or if someone else could do it for me if I FTP it to our account?

FTP it to your account, i believe there is an option in PHPMyAdmin to import it from an already existing file.

upload th file to the root ftp, not public_html

make the "LOcation of File": /home/username/dbfile.extention and try that, dont know if it works or not.

I cant' seem to find it, the only action I can take is to Import from my computer.

Nope, that didn't work -- it says the File Doesn't Exist or Size Exceeds Max. Limit; which it doesn't.


I'll try importing again...


Edit: Still not having any luck, I've uploaded the SQL File into the FTP Root (Above public_html), could someone manually upload via command line?

 

[acidburn0520]

Nevermind, I got it working with BigDump. Thanks for your help... sorta.

 

[lambada]

Hmm ok then,

seeing as the problems have been resolved i'll lock this thread.
