 * Hi,
 * I’m unable to update options. I hit save and it doesn’t save.
    I’m able to log
   into the database directly as the user in phpconfig and update the tables that
   way.
 * History:
    I originally had Apache and PHP5 until I found out that I needed to
   re-compile Apache’s PHP5 dll to get it to work with SSL. I then uninstalled everything
   except MYSQL and reinstalled the OpenSA version of Apache and PHP. With this 
   setup, I had to recreate the user passwords in MySQL because of an incompatability
   between the different PHP versions and how they saved the passwords in the database.
 * I’m not sure if this is exactly when the issue occured. However, I do know that
   these steps occurred before the issue.
    I have since dropped the table in mysql
   and re-installed the file structure from scratch. No luck.
 * I’m operating in a subfolder of htdocs.
 * WordPress 1.5.1.3
    OpenSA/1.0.4 Apache/1.3.27(Win32) mod_ssl/2.8.11 OpenSSL/0.9.6g
   PHP/4.2.2 mod_gzip/1.3.19a DAV/1.0.3 MySql 4.1
 * –thanks!
 * Scott
