Fátima Chapri	Sunday 31 May 2009 9:24:01 am Hi, I want to upload my ezPublish 4.0.3 site to godaddy but it has been a nightmare to me to do so. I'm sorry if this is not write place to post this question, but I've spent already 3 days trying to figure it out without success. I'm just posting here in hope that anyone here have experience on this meter. 1) I can't upload the database because my exported .sql file from my msql databas (using mysql dump) has got 20M and the server only accepts uploads of 2M files to the database. I separated the .sql file into smaller pieces, but there are table row's from the table ezcontentobject that are too big and make the phpmyadmin server crash while uploading. My data is written in portuguese, so the problem may also be in the accents or punctuation. Is there a way to split this rows? 2) I already uploaded the entire site, and when I point to my site (www.example.com) it show's ezpublish error message that indicates that there is database connection missing. But the problem is that the index.php is calling the pagelayout.tpl, but not the css files (as happens when the site conf settings are all ok, but only missing database connection). So, is there any extra configuration I have to do? (I already changed the siteURL on the site.ini) 3) How can I conffgure the form notiffications? 4) Can I install ezComponents on the ezPublish root directory? cheers, Thanks for any answer
Jianjun Hu	Sunday 31 May 2009 4:00:21 pm Hi, Fátima Chapri I installed eZ Publish 4.0.0 on Godaddy. I didn't try to use eZ Publish 4.0.3. I met a php configuration error when I tried to installed eZ Publish 4.1.0, so I gave up. Actually, Godaddy has more troubles than other virtual hosting. I can only answer your first question. Godaddy has a online tool for backuping and restoring database. You can find this tool at Database Management section (I'm not sure). At first, you should upload the *.sql file to /_db_backups directory on the Godaddy hosting. Then, you can use the online tool to restore the database. This method has on file size limit. Hope it will help. ☆．．·°∴°．☆°°．☆°． °∴ °☆ ．·enjoy star° ．·★°∴° ∴°．°★ ．·° 　ミ☆°∴°．★☆° ∴·° °．☆° ．·∴°　 Is it a pleasure after all to practice in due time what one has learnt?
Fátima Chapri	Sunday 31 May 2009 5:10:00 pm hi Jianjun Hu, Thanks a lot for the hint. You just saved my day. I'm going to try that. But you're rite, godaddy has a lot of problems. It's very cheap but it gives us a lot of problems to configure the things. Regarding my second question, I found the following link http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/configuration/backup_restore/move_to_new_provider that explains how to upload ezPublish sites. There, it is explained that we should upload a fresh ezPublish distribution first, install it, and after that upload the files the are used to be changed (like the ones in /extension, /var, ...). I'm going to implement that and keep you up to date to my results. Anyway, thanks again for the help. You were excellent.

Hi,

I want to upload my ezPublish 4.0.3 site to godaddy but it has been a nightmare to me to do so.

I'm sorry if this is not write place to post this question, but I've spent already 3 days trying to figure it out without success. I'm just posting here in hope that anyone here have experience on this meter.

1) I can't upload the database because my exported .sql file from my msql databas (using mysql dump) has got 20M and the server only accepts uploads of 2M files to the database. I separated the .sql file into smaller pieces, but there are table row's from the table ezcontentobject that are too big and make the phpmyadmin server crash while uploading.

Hi, Fátima Chapri

I installed eZ Publish 4.0.0 on Godaddy. I didn't try to use eZ Publish 4.0.3.
I met a php configuration error when I tried to installed eZ Publish 4.1.0, so I gave up.
