PG4WP with WP-E-COMMERCE plugin

Hello friends of fragility,

the pg4wp plugin was the reason to give WordPress a try. Sadly there are not so many CMS based on Postgresql. So this plugin would be a real enrichment for WP.

I tryed to get the wp-e-commerce plugin (3.8.7.6.2) working on WordPress 3.3.1 and Postgresql 8.3 but I could not setup the shop at « Settings -> Store -> General » because the drop-down lists and drop-down-menus for « Base Country/Region: », « Target Markets: », « Currency Type: » are empty and the currency symbol at « Currency Sign Location: » is not visible.

I looked in the « pg4wp_erros.log » file and I found several hundred lines of errors that can be associated with the wp-e-commerce plugin (these errors occure directly after activating the plugin)

The errors that occures are like this:

—- converted to —-
SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE ‘wp_wpsc_also_bought’
—-
FEHLER: Syntaxfehler bei »TABLE«
LINE 1: SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE ‘wp_wpsc_also_bought’
.

—- converted to —-
ALTER TABLE wp_wpsc_checkout_forms ADD checkout_order int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT ’0′ AFTER active;

Error running :

—-
FEHLER: Syntaxfehler bei »AFTER«
LINE 1: …list ADD country varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT » AFTER id;
^

… and so on …

I already tryed the bugfix of Hawk777 at “http://www.hawkix.net/pgsql-for-wordpress/” with the « s» modifier in the « driver_pgsql.php » file but this had no effect on these errors.

Is anyone able to fix these errors?
Thanks for reading my comment.

When using PG4WP to use WordPress with Postgresql as a database backend, you will certainly have a somewhat slower WordPress than when using the native MySQL support.

This is because many SQL queries are rewritten on the fly, which implies some overhead.

For now PG4WP is focused on having WP to just work fine with PostgreSQL and performance is in no way a priority.

Just a note : WP 3.2.1 support is on the way and a new beta will be released soon for testing…

Not necessarily. It’s mostly a matter of personal preference. I find PostgreSQL to be more feature complete and use it on most projects. There are a number of feature and performance comparisons between MySQL and PostgreSQL out there that can be found with a quick Google search. Beware, some of them reference older versions of either database system.

@Rajesh, I would suggest you look at the PG4WP author’s site for installation instructions – http://www.hawkix.net/tag/pg4wp/

Than you very much. I have documented your solution as it worked perfect. The IP address given to me was the same as given to you 192.168.56.1 so perhaps that is universal.

James,

You may want to check your web server logs in order to get more information than the “500 Internal Server Error” message. This doesn’t seem like a problem caused by your use of a VM.

This is great thank you so much for this tutorial I have been searching every where for it. You have saved my life.

However my VM is producing some weird results. I’m running:

Host Machine: Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.5.6
VirtualBox 3.2.0
Guest: Windows XP

one of my sites work dev.curo-consulting.com
but dev.cereno.co.uk isn’t working it tells me that there is a 500 Internal Server error.

Even after a server reboot.

My hosts file looks like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost

192.168.56.1 dev.cereno.co.uk dev.curo-consulting.com

Have you ever experienced this?

I did have it like this as well:

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.56.1 dev.cereno.co.uk
192.168.56.1 dev.curo-consulting.com

But that didn’t work either

Any Ideas?
