installer not seeing SQLite
« on: May 31, 2012, 07:30:33 PM »
I have an old server with an old version of MySQL that is in use with other old software.  I am trying to get SMF installed on this server using SQLite.  I compiled and installed sqlite3 on the server and proceeded to install, but on the "Database type" dropdown it isn't showing SQLite as an option.  Any tips?

As far as I remember, SQLite 3 isn't supported, only the older 2.x series.

In any case, performance is going to be rather constrained with SQLite, it's really not suited to anything other than very small forums.

Okay, I guess I'll go through the pains of updating mysql.  I have a very full and very old Ikonboard 3.1.2 and an old media-wiki relying on it.  The mysql version on there now is 3.23.  Looking at mysql's documentation they recommend updating to 4.0, then 4.2 then 5.0.

That sounds like a plan - and I also suspect you'll find performance gets better on top of that anyway...
