Right, now I understand. This isn't at all related to Joomla, Moodle or PHP then. The file you've exported isn't a SQL file. That snippet is the top of a web page, so something has gone badly wrong in your export.

Ubuntu 10.10 ships PHP version 5.3.3-1ubuntu9, and if you have updated recently you've got 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.1. End of.

I doubt that very much; PHP major version 2 has not been in production in years now. You mean 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.1. You should probably ask on Moodle.org: Forums

/me has a Desire Z with Froyo, no hackery involved

Sound engineers have been doing this for years with multicore cable. I've never seen any Cat5 equivalents, but they would be useful for getting through walls, I must admit...

As usual, the PHP manual has it covered. PHP: mssql_query - Manual

WordPress › WordPress Advanced Ticket System « WordPress Plugins looks reasonable, though I've never used it personally. I prefer trac, because it ties into a git code repository for auto updates, blaming, and so on.

Do you have a bug tracker available yet?

sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php php5-mysql mysql-server moodle

You've also agreed "consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in King County, Washington, U.S.A. in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Primary Pad Web Site", and that "by posting, uploading, inputting, providing or submitting your Submission you are granting Primary Pad, without limitation, the rights to: copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, translate and reformat your Submission; and to publish your name in connection with your Submission." Hmm. (source: http://primarypad.com/static/tandc.html)

As worn by a sound engineer: "I'm not listening" (or, when part covered by a jacket, "listen").

Certainly not. I don't trust anybody with anything, which I host everything I need myself (well, I trust my dedicated provider and ISP at arms reach, there has to be a compromise somewhere...)

That's because most tutorials are years old and if you're still using MySQL 4, you have larger problems. 5.0/utf-8 should be your choice.

You probably need to learn about FTP's active and passive modes.

They are, but it's still in beta. note, before anyone accuses me of libel: this is probably untrue and I do not assert it in any way.

mikegayle has been necro-threading all morning, so this doesn't surprise me.

Maybe if you didn't take it out of context you'd realise that your solution is stupid, not you. As he hasn't been back since asking it...

In the paddock next to my stupidity radar. No personal offence intended. But, really, your solution was very WTF over-engineering.

Who said so? Most idiotic "decrees" like this are actually locally or institutionally imposed...

Yes (there is no software for the server, only policy templates). Yes No. I take it by 'we' you mean 'you'. If you knew already you wouldn't be asking...

Dos_Box and Domino made a baby??

Oh, there's no lack of understanding. Facebook's whole business model (yes, it's a business, to make people rich) depends on you not being able to control your information. That's why there are 'flaws', 'leaks', and privacy settings nested four levels deep. Did you know, for example, that if the application platform is enabled, even if you have no applications and you are listed as invisible, any application can still retrieve your basic details? edit: any time, at will, and you don't get notified.

Wrong, debconf will prompt you for it.
