Hi,

I'm new to CMSMS/PHP/MySQL but was wondering what would need to be changed to enable CMSMS to run on Firebird, can anyone tell me which files I will need to study?

Many thanks

Andy

CMS made simple don't use a poor database, in current version it uses a database layer called AdoDB light. In moment CMSms supports only MySQL, Postgres and MySQLi. SQLite is on todo list.

So I think CMSms woun't running on firebird cause AdoDB light don't support this database, please look here

Hi,

I see what you mean, thankfully someone has already requested that ADOdbLite be developed to support Firebird, then we can start moving!

Many thanks

Andy

You can use full adodb (which has user contributed/experimental Firebird support) in stead of adodb-light with CMSMS by setting

Code: Select all

$config['use_adodb_lite'] = false;
in your config.php and replacing the adodb version.
