Grove
DB Conversion
On the old grove, we were running MySQL 3. On the new grove, we're running MySQL 5. MySQL 5 has a much stricter syntax than MySQL 3 and some user databases encountered problems during the conversion. We're sending e-mail to the accounts that were affected.. If your web site is built around a standard package, it is likely that the current release of that package supports MySQL 5. In any case, if you're not running the current release, you should upgrade or at least check for security fixes.New Server
The old grove was MySQL client and server in one. In the new grove, there is a common MySQL server node and there will be multiple clients. So long as you allow MySQL to use your ~/.my.cnf file, this should be transparent. If you need to use a different configuration file you may have to copy options out of your ~/.my.cnf file into whatever other configuration file you're using. Be sure not to put any configuration files under your ~/public_html directory, especially if it contains your MySQL password.Communication with the server is over SSL. The neccessary SSL configuration options are in the system-wide /etc/my.cnf file, so if you're on grove, you shouldn't need to worry about that. If you're trying to connect to the MySQL server directly from a non-grove node, there is no network path to it.
You may request a MySQL database from us.
