[OT] You lose a little piece of your soul when you run Windows :-(
Okay, this obviously isn't GNU/Linux related, but it's a story to make the heart go pitter-patter. Here's the nutshell version: College student buys XP at an academic discount, realizes he has to reformat his hard drive to install it, so he decides to sell it -- unopened -- on eBay. Microsoft sues the student for irreparable damage and demands $143.50. Much to the evil empire's surprise, they don't know they've sued a biochemistry student who (a) has a brain, (b) can read English and (c) doesn't like being pushed around. Read the story to find out details and the ending. Story: http://clevescene.com/issues/2005-03-30/news/feature_print.html Regards, .

Need help with PHP
I got hold of Wordpress (as recommended here) and I'm having problems getting jumpstarted. I'm running Core 3 with httpd-2.0.52-3.1. I am capable of running a simple php script. See it at http://steveo.syslang.net/phpinfo.php After I installed Wordpress, I tried to go run the install script but it seems that some parts of the script are executing and other parts aren't. Here's the screendump of /usr/share/wordpress/wp-admin http://steveo.syslang.net/wp-index.png And here's the output of install.php http://steveo.syslang.net/wp-install.png Does anyone have a clue what I need to do here?

It looks like you're accessing the files directly. Don't do this. You need to run them through Apache: So you need to visit http://localhost/wordpress/ rather than the files, otherwise the PHP is not processed. It looks like you might not have set up a host for your Wordpress stuff yet, and you don't have it under what is recognizable as an htdocs dir to me: you will need to move /wordpress/ to somewhere that is web accessible.

Re: No Hosstraders?
Wow. Isn't that a little severe? To cancel something forever because people haven't volunteered on the list? :) I'm planning to be there, as always. (And as always, trying to fit in Hosstraders around Real World [TM] obligations.) My recollection is that we helped a few people last time, and that we unloaded some junk too. I also know several other people who have expressed an interest in being there, including some of my students who would be first-timers. It's no surprise, though, that you haven't heard much on the list.

The phpinfo page basically says it can't load the mysql extension, and provides a link to docs which do not help me solve the problem.

If PHP knows enough about the extension to know it's there, your extension_dir is working fine, and it sounds like the actual mysql.so (mine is located at /usr/lib/php4/20020429/mysql.so , for example) is horked.
