    Now that I really like what I’m seeing, a question for those who are familiar with the WP code:
    For security reasons my webhost has disabled any PHP script which contains the following: backticks operator (), system(), exec(), passthru(), and dl()
    Will I be able to run WPress on my current host?

    You did say backticks didn’t you?
    In such a case, all the rest are pointless to mention, since nearly all MySQL commands contain backticks.

    From what little searching I’ve done and the context of those commands you posted, I’d say it should work, since as far as I know WordPress does not require shell access (those commands do).
    Before opening my ignorant mouth I should’ve done some research. The backticks operator is used in Perl to execute shell commands. WP does not use Perl so you’re good.

    Thanks for taking the time, Mark. I do appreciate it.
    Now to look around to see if we have a newbie forum handy for lots of hand-holding during installation. 🙂
