For moving there probably is a guide at <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress">Moving_WordPress</a>. pezastic on "How to migrate from root to sub-directory?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69891#post-367522 Sat, 22 Apr 2006 17:36:56 +0000 pezastic 367522@http://wordpress.org/support/ I can't find the answer to this question and I'm sure it's out there. The problem I'm having after installing to a sub-directory is that the .sql DB file I'm using from the previous root installation points to that directory for all the inhouse WordPress links. pezastic on "Timestamping prior to 1969?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68203#post-363498 Sat, 15 Apr 2006 12:39:53 +0000 pezastic 363498@http://wordpress.org/support/ I answered my own question! For anyone else running under dual-PHP versions and wanting php files to run under PHP5, while having php4 files running under PHP4, use this in your .htaccess file: AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4 Finally, I am able to timestamp posts for pre-1969 dates. In the end, it was all about the PHP version on my webhost server. Anything PHP4.4 and above will allow pre-1969 posts. Anything below it won't, without the aforementioned modification. pezastic on "Timestamping prior to 1969?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68203#post-363474 Sat, 15 Apr 2006 11:31:11 +0000 pezastic 363474@http://wordpress.org/support/ I went looking for a webhost with PHP5, for this very reason. I am now on a server that has: Apache1.3 Kernel2.4.21-4.0.1 elsmp MySQL4.0.24 PHP4.3.11 PHP55.1.2 PHPMyAdmin2.7.0-pl1 Python2.2.3-5 Because I tried to timestamp a post for a pre-1969 date and it didn't work (it changed to Dec. 31 1969), I assume that WordPress is using PHP4.3.11 on this dual-PHP server. Is there any way to force it to use PHP55.1.2?

For WordPress to make use of relatively unrestricted dates, it would take the use of something like PHP's adodb library. You'll find several threads discussing how one might go about modifying WordPress to it (if you're up to that). Here's one such (and hey, look who started it!): <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/27367" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/support/topic/27367</a> And to show that a pristine version of WordPress (2.0.2) can be used to post before 1970, here's a little something on my test blog: <a href="http://szub.net/vea/1965/01/" rel="nofollow">http://szub.net/vea/1965/01/</a> pezastic on "Timestamping prior to 1969?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68203#post-361508 Tue, 11 Apr 2006 10:48:23 +0000 pezastic 361508@http://wordpress.org/support/ Could WordPress be changed to use mySQL time and date functions? <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#IDX1384" rel="nofollow">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#IDX1384</a> pezastic on "Timestamping prior to 1969?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68203#post-361494 Tue, 11 Apr 2006 10:03:15 +0000 pezastic 361494@http://wordpress.org/support/ According to their webhost provider OpenSourceCMS.com is running the following: # RedHat # Apache 1.3.3x # PHP 4.4.x # MySQL 4.1.x NONE of their demo CMS or blogging apps will allow pre-1970 dates on posts. So, I'm still confused as to which version of PHP will allow this for date(), if any. pezastic on "Timestamping prior to 1969?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68203#post-360482 Sun, 09 Apr 2006 13:20:04 +0000 pezastic 360482@http://wordpress.org/support/ Interesting. My host runs Apache Web Server Software, Unix Operating System, and PHP 4.3.11 and I'm unable to timestamp anything prior to Dec. 31, 1969. It's nice to see I have other options to get the date restriction removed (which I do need), other than going with a webhost provider that has PHP v5.1 installed. Kafkaesqui on "Timestamping prior to 1969?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68203#post-360480 Sun, 09 Apr 2006 12:52:36 +0000 Kafkaesqui 360480@http://wordpress.org/support/ It's a good assumption, but then I can't guarantee anything for what any one host might actually do. I'll note that the host I'm with runs Redhat Linux and PHP 4.4.3 (though they also offer 5.1), and I can set pre-1970 dates on my posts. Not that I've ever had a reason to do that... pezastic on "Timestamping prior to 1969?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68203#post-360476 Sun, 09 Apr 2006 12:45:36 +0000 pezastic 360476@http://wordpress.org/support/ I did read that bit about "specifically windows" but am restricted from timestamping anything prior to Dec. 31, 1969 under a Unix operating system with my current webhost provider. I'm not looking to archive anything prior to 1901, so that wouldn't be an issue. As I am on the hunt for a new webhost provider anyhow, I thought finding one with PHP 5.1 installed, regardless of the operating system, might take away the 1969 date restriction. Would I be correct in this assumption? Kafkaesqui on "Timestamping prior to 1969?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68203#post-360471 Sun, 09 Apr 2006 12:31:25 +0000 Kafkaesqui 360471@http://wordpress.org/support/ The documentation on date() states the ("typically," whatever that means) valid range for it is December 13, 1901 20:45:54 GMT to January 19, 2038 03:14:07 GMT, but that before PHP 5.1 some systems (specifically Windows) were limited to Jaunuary 1, 1970 for the early part of the range. So you'd be better off looking for a host running Unix/Linux or some such, rather than worrying over the PHP ver. Although a host providing the latest of both PHP4 and PHP5 can't be bad for you. <code>:)</code> pezastic on "Timestamping prior to 1969?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68203#post-360333 Sun, 09 Apr 2006 03:07:20 +0000 pezastic 360333@http://wordpress.org/support/ That first link presented there, the one to the job ticket, had a reference in the description to PHP 5.1. As I read it, if my host has that version of PHP installed, I timestamp posts prior to the 1969 limitation. Is that correct? (I'm in the process of looking for another host provider.)

Posts in the database are stored in a MySQL date/time format, but that may rely on a Unix timestamp internally and for that, 0 = mightnight on Jan. 1st, 1970, so... Why would you want to fake such old posts anyway though? pezastic on "Timestamping prior to 1969?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68203#post-360094 Sat, 08 Apr 2006 12:33:17 +0000 pezastic 360094@http://wordpress.org/support/ Is this at all possible?
