I can't think of a single time that Stevesh and I have even come close to disagreeing on a solution to a problem.
Also, I am one of the first to tout that time spent learning is probably the most valuable with the greatest "return on investment".
But, in this case there's more at stake than just some time spent.
- Any site using 1.3.7 is in big trouble.
- The version is ancient and vulnerable to attack if not already attacked. (Sorry, but I don't think theteapet would notice.)
- The version uses abandoned versions of PHP and MySql.
- The above two items lead to a major concern about the capabilities of the host.
- Not knowing how to create a directory indicates to me that FTP, file compression, file editing, etc. are way out there on the learning curve.
It is NEVER a bad thing to admit that you don't know and ask for help. It is ALWAYS beneficial to know where to find answers. This forum is one of the best for answers.
However, unless this shop is just a side project or hobby, I think this is one of those times when necessity and expediency overrules the opportunity to learn.
@theteapet - Please see a PM sent your way.
