Hi,

Having tested the application a fair bit on an old pc, id like to now try it out on a live server.

Im really unsure about how to proceed with this. I currently have my own VPS however the hosts are not confident about loading ICE up. I therefore contacted a couple of new companies regarding getting a new server or vps (which i was going to do anyway) but everyone i ask about installing ICE is not aware of the product and keep saying as its a third party applicant its a risk. Also most have MySQL already installed.

Can you please advise

a) If you know of a hosting company with ICE already installed (this would make my life so much easier!)
b) If no to above, how can i go about getting ICE on to an active server.

I appreciate your assistance

We have a few customers using ICE or IEE on the Amazon EC2 cloud. There’s instructions under DOWNLOAD, then Download Contributed Softwware and go to the bottom of that page.

Hi,

Im looking for something where i can associate ICE with a website where users queries are processed behind the scenes by ICE instead of mysql.

Is this possible?

Hi;

for “testing” you can sign up for EC2, install ICE yourself, and then use Amazon’s security settings to allow remote access to the ICE instance port 3306 from your current webserver.

for tests you can allow access with the “grant” command to mysql once the server is “live”:

grant all on *.* to ‘yourwebuser’@‘your.web.host’ with grant option;

that is full access, for better security see:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/grant.html

this applies to any server on the web, not just amazon;

if you are talking to a service provider, they would have to install ice;
it can co-exist with an existing mysql, but you need to change the default port.

I’ve not installed ICE on a shared hosting ISP, but I have installed it on a VM, one with MySQL running. As is typical with MySQL (which Infobright runs on top of) you can tell the installer where you want to install it, and what PORT you want to install it on. That way you can run both MySQL AND infobright.

You might want to look into an ISP that gives you a VM so you can install what you need.

good luck! and can you please followup with the name of the ISP you use so that others can look into it?
