If you want to check my link,

can you tell me were I did something wrong?

Thanks.

I tried "completeUpdate" but only 400 of the 500+ profiles were updated, than there appeared ready in the left bottom corner of IE.
It looks like it didn't realy finish. I don't get the summary of what has happened.

-- When I export the profiles, should I check everything, or can I leave things behind? Can that be the problem. (eg purchase price, notes, ...)

Definitely check everything. Any missing pieces will cause errors.

Is this your own server, or is it a webhosting site? I think that there is something wrong with your schema. The only way that I can see to get these errors is if the lock table is never getting any data. In that case the update should be making lots of errors.

Can you try to get the output of the SQL command: DESCRIBE  DVDPROFILER_dvd_locks;

also: SELECT * from DVDPROFILER_dvd_locks where id='8712609599763.9';

Rich, disk space is easy. Just see how much space your images and thumbnails take on your pc. Then add on the size of your xml file and a couple of mb for the s/w.

My collection is about 2000 profiles and is 2.5gb of space.

As for bandwidth that all depends really (sorry not a great answer). But really depends on amount of hits, the amount people look at your hires images etc. My bandwidth has been 2gb per month for the last 2 months and 1gb so far this month.

If you want a cheap host, site5.com are doing a $5 a month for 110gb of disc space and more bandwidth than I can remember (ok 5TB I just looked). You have to pay upfront for 2 years (so $120 or about £60 currently).

Then all you need is a domain. Depending what you want, 123-reg.co.uk do cheap uk registrations or site5.com can get .com's etc at a good price.

I'm using site5 currently as is ya-shin.

One question to ask your mate is what sort of access do you have to the site. ftp is usual. But do you have ssh access or rsync? (rsync can work over ssh, so only ssh is important).

Why is rsync important, well it can handle managing the uploads of your images/xml etc to the site.

Oh I'm a big fan of rsync in can you didn't know   Typically my xml is 32mb in size. If I update a bunch of profiles, the xml usually only transfers under 100kb (usually under 10kb). It's just magic. I wrote a batch file (yeah I know but its the only thing windows comes with), that does the rsync for you (after you've installed rsync).

Also, currently with the way cast/crew are handled, being able to run the phpdvdprofiler update from the command line is more reliable as you can typically use a performance feature that rarely works when updating phpdvdprofiler via the web.

yeah there are 2 reasons the update doesn't finish. The usual one is simply that the webserver times out the php script. Most servers have a time limit for a script to finish in. You can assuming you're using phpdvdprofiler v3, set a variable called $db_fast_update = true; but be warned, if you do, the update *MUST* finish in one go. If it doesn't you'll have to switch it to false and do a CompleteUpdate.

If you can run your update from the command line, rather than the web, you can usually set $db_fast_update.

The other is a small bug, which means you don't get the link to return to your collection. But the update completes fine.
