Yes, dynamic hosting is available on the MIS hosting platform and has the capability to run asp/php scripts. However, there is limited support and no training available for the code and/or the database unless a problem occurs with the software used to provide the service.
There are many forums online that can assist with programming questions or problems. The Service Centre provides support for the underlying systems that deliver web hosting and database services.
Note: If you are using poor code that causes issues for other users, the system administrators may disable portions of, or, your entire site until the problems are resolved.
The administration interface is accessible via the Education Queensland MIS Portal. The MySQL interface used is actually based on a freely available and widely used product called 'phpMyAdmin '. There is no need to download and install from this site.
The database file is stored as part of either your school or personal hosting space. The only limit on the size of the database is the amount of web space quota allocated to your school or user ID.
Yes. The current allocation for web storage for a school is based on the day 8 enrolment figures each year.
| Enrolment | Web space quota |
|---|---|
| 1-300 | 1GB |
| 301-800 | 3GB |
| 801+ | 8GB |
The web space quota is the total amount allocated for all school websites, including personal websites for staff and students. Each user who has been allocated personal web space has a quota of 5 MB. If you purchase extra web storage this results in a permanent increase in the quota for your school. Schools may purchase increased web space quotas in gigabyte lots and assign it to individual users, all users in a particular group or reserve it for the school's website.
Costs payable to EQ for increasing web space quotas.
The cost of extra storage will be $90/gigabyte/school year (or part thereof), plus an administration fee of $150 per request. The administration fee is paid once, when the increase is requested, not annually.
It will be financially beneficial to apply for a quota increase in the early part of the school year, rather than towards the end. For example, if a request is received in November 2007 the school will be charged $90/GB for the 2007 school year (plus $150) and then in early 2008 will be charged $90/GB for the 2008 school year.
The MIS Administrator can manage their school's web quotas through the admin tools.
Yes, all MySQL databases are backed up nightly. If you are using the database to store important information, it is recommended you also keep an up-to-date local copy of the data. The phpMyAdmin interface allows you to export data to text / csv formats. If you do lose all your data or there is some other problem, it may be possible to restore from the most recent backup. If you require the restoration of older backups, contact the Service Centre. Fees may apply, if you require this service.
The MIS is a large environment, and, in most cases, system resources are shared amongst all schools. Occasionally the database and hosting systems will suffer periods of decreased performance. This could be a result of increased activity, or inefficient code in use by other users of the system. If the system administrators find that code or database queries are causing problems for other users, the database may be made unavailable and the school MIS Administrator will be contacted to resolve the problem before the database is re-activated.
