Server Upgrade Completed
UW-IT upgraded the faculty, staff, depts, and courses web servers, on May 3rd, 2012. Documentation has been updated to reflect the new MySQL server and web development environment changes. Users still running MySQL servers on ovid21.u.washington.edu still need to migrate to the new ovid.
While UW Information Technology does not provide full support for MySQL, a limited set of documentation is provided for advanced, do-it-yourself use, as well as a set of binaries that will be updated periodically.
Note: Please read about running servers on your own account before getting started with MySQL.
