If the requirements are met it should work:
see Hosting_WordPress
Thanks, I posted my php server config at http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1833944
To just look if,
Recommended server setup:
* PHP version 5.2 or greater
* MySQL version 5.0 or greater
Sounds a bit trivial, there must be more, like safe mode on/off, BCMath support, DBA support, mysql.trace_mode, mysqli.reconnect, Dynamic Library Support, XML Namespace Support, WDDX Support etc.
Not sure of all those things, but have you tried installing WordPress to see if it runs okay?
What’s your question?
Whether you meet the recommended requirements?
From the look of the info, yes you do.
Right, when doing an online server check at http://www.selfseo.com/server_status_check.php it says:
Server Status for my 2.9.2 wordpress blog:
HTTP: The website is accessible!
FTP: Connected to the FTP!
MAIL (Pop3): Pop3 connected successfully!
MAIL (SMTP): Failed connecting to SMTP
MySQL: The MySQL seems to be offline.
Yes everything is installed, no error message, trouble code, nothing of that sort. # Memory limit of my webspace: 64 MByte
# Memory usage : 29.03 MByte
Ok, but what’s your question, or is there not a question?
Probably a question for your host.
Also the checking software says:
Please note that depending on the server configuration the tool may be unable to connect to some parts of it and deliver an accurate server status check.
Thanks for clarification. I’m irritated that our provider always runs so called server maintainance jobs which last sometimes for 2-3 days where people’s websites are hardly accessible. Friends told me that this is untrue, modern server maintainance runs without disturbing anything and besides, doesn’t take 2 days. Not that your website becomes inaccessible, due, “today, server maintainance”. “Ask the provider whats going on”, no, these folks simply tell what they like.
Thanks MichaelH, this is right, my point simply was to first seek for solutions. We surely live in a kind of throwaway society – as soon there’s some discomfort – to plunk.
To run to a new host is of course the easiest way when things don’t work smoothly. However, it is a decision, worth to first tap the full potential of checking alternatives.
As wordpress is getting more and more popular, providers could have an information sign, something like that:
server optimized for wordpress blogs
