Shared LAMP hosting • WordPress 6.0.1 • Using CiviCRM for over a decade on Dreamhost • Current CiviCRM version: 5.38.0
First Question:
I'd like the ESR 5.45, as recommended, but when I go to this page,
https://lab.civicrm.org/esr/core/-/releases
as suggested here:
or even if I log with a CiviCRM account in and click the link to the same destination, I get a 404.
I know thinking of CiviCRM as a WordPress plugin is a bit like the tail wagging the dog, but is it possible there might just be a list of releases like they do with WordPress, easily accessible and zipped for download for WordPress and other CMS users without having to use Git? Including the ESR versions? Because documentation suggests such a page existed once... Why was it removed? (Okay that's a third, ancillary question.)
Second Question:
When I try to install CiviCRM 5.52.0, I get this response:
CiviCRM 5.52.0 requires MySQL trigger privileges
Dreamhost shared hosting doesn't allow triggers. So I reinstalled the old CiviCRM 5.38.
If the ESR 5.45 requires triggers, we'll need to try a different hosting situation. Shoestring budget here... I've been keeping this updated since 2006. Does the latest ESR (5.45.7) require triggers? Version 5.38.0 apparently doesn't. If so, I'll need to look at more advanced MySQL hosting options.
Thanks in advance.
