PHP upgraded to v5.2.11

// September 28th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Hosting

I upgraded all PHP hosting accounts on the Innovarum server to the latest version of PHP (v5.2.11) over the weekend.

Things appeared to have gone smoothly at first, but we started getting reports of issues with our WordPress based applications today, when navigating to any page beginning with ‘index.php’ (all of them!). This issue has been tracked back to some new security measures that were added to the server and has now been resolved.

JCWS manage Coeval client application migration

// December 15th, 2008 // No Comments » // Hosting, Web Development

We recently helped Coeval Group relocate one of their client-facing web applications to its new home on a dedicated server managed by our colleagues at Innovarum.

Coeval have been providing innovative solutions to the traffic control and road safety industries since 1987 and from their development and manufacturing plant in Scotland they liaise with and provide solutions to many organisations both within the UK and worldwide.

The application is a bespoke PHP-based web application with a MySQL back-end and makes use of PEAR for its graphing and export functionality. There were two main challenges that, working with Innovarum, we overcame as part of the migration:

  1. The test hardware couldn’t connect with the standard FTP server so we sourced a new, suitable FTP server and replaced the existing one.
  2. PEAR libraries are not part of the standard PHP hosting package, but as we will for any of our clients we were able to tune their hosting package to suit their needs.

To finish the process we also took care of the DNS modifications required.

Teaming up with our good friends at Anderson Toomey, we now have our own box. With it, we are able to offer additional services including email accounts, hosting and remote backups.

Our hosting packs are formidable; we can develop web applications in any of the three main flavours of web technology – PHP, ASP.Net or J2EE – you don’t see that every day!
