MariaDB versions, my site displays a blank page.

Hello.

I may have an unusual query.
I have just downgraded from a vps server, to a hosting package with cPanel, but stayed with the same host.

Now I've placed my site on the new hosting package, I'm continually getting a blank page.
The server runs MariaDB 10.3 and the new hosting package runs MariaDB 10.11.

I've asked my host about this and their response is:- The differences between MariaDB 10.3 and MariaDB 10.11 are significant, as MariaDB 10.11 is a much newer release with substantial improvements, new features, and changes compared to 10.3.

May I enquire anyone else experienced problems with MariaDB 10.11?

Also with version MariaDB 10.11, is Create, Insert, Update and Delete coding still the same?

Thanks
 
did you checked the error logs? if database can't execute some query then you should get any error message or the page should render partially
without more detailed information we can only guess what happened
 
Hello Michalio.

Thank you for your post.
I asked the host to check the log, as I don't have access to it, their response was: The differences between MariaDB 10.3 and MariaDB 10.11 are significant, as MariaDB 10.11 is a much newer release with substantial improvements, new features, and changes compared to 10.3.

I have since switched hosts and I see how I get on.
I've also decided to re-build my site from the ground up, so I don't need to access the database much.

Thank you again
 
I think I answered you in the forum of the hosting we use haha, but anyway here I tell you that create, read, update and delete will always be the same regardless of the database you use. What changes when making queries is the way it is done depending on the technology you use...
 
Hi Damanyer.

I've discovered that the version of MariaDB, on the vps server was older then on the shared hosting package I moved to, hence why It didn't work. However I can't see what difference it made. Anyway the project didn't work on the shared hosting, so I've moved to another host, and I'm rebuilding from the ground up.

I've also had an idea to buy a hard drive of some sort, and set it up as a mini server, which would act as a php server and database host. I'm unsure how to set this up and I'll look into it in the new year.

Thanks.

Hello.
For the idea of the PHP server AND database, when you buy the hard drive you can install the Wampserver or XAMPP linux version, both come with everything in the same package and by installing the linux version you would have it configured just like a professional server.
