Please support me in the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer - last year we were able to raise $6.9 million for the Alberta Cancer Foundation - hopefully we can raise even more in 2010! -

Pachyderm progress
Filed under: Uncategorized. Tags: pachyderm.
Josh and I have been slogging through the Pachyderm installation/configuration process. It’s been a whole lot of one-step-forward, two-steps-back, but sometimes things just kinda work.
The commons thread we’ve come across is basically a version of “never, EVER use Windows on a server. Or, on a desktop, if it can be avoided.”
Anyway, we’ve got it mostly working, thanks mostly to Josh’s fancy PHP scripts to import data from the Pachyderm Filemaker database into the SQL Server database. That part works like a charm.
The rest feels decidedly duct-taped. MacGyver would be proud. Except his stuff usually worked.
I’m looking at a similar conversion to the one you’ve got under you’re belt: FMP 6.0 to SQL for an online learning environment. Is there any chance that the PHP used for conversion is documented and available?
Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure that legacy code was punted some time ago…
