In reply to: Comment moderation oddnessAhhhhhhhhhh!!! Thanks 🙂
Now that makes sense. Avoids commenters reposting 16 times because it doesn’t show up immediately.
I’m inclined to agree about the “in moderation” or somesuch label, though.

In reply to: Blacklisted Spam Comment Appears After Every PostSounds like the comments are already in your database waiting for matching posts to arrive.
The Codex might be of assistance here….

In reply to: Cannot Install // PHP and Mysql Errors?!“Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.”
That message suggests that this is something your host needs to fix. If WordPress can’t get PHP to connect to MySQL, it won’t ever work.
Ask your host to fix whatever they broke.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: 1.5 installed butWordPress can’t create a database – it creates its tables in the database specified in the wp-config.php file. If a shared database is being used, you can set a different table prefix in wp-config.php – have a look in the file and you’ll see where.
This can be useful if your host restricts the number of databases you can have (or charges per db) – you can have multiple WordPress installations sharing the same database without interfering with each other.

In reply to: An observation about 1.2.2 versus 1.5Ooooh, so it is!
Now running WordPress version 1.5-gamma 2005-02-05

In reply to: An observation about 1.2.2 versus 1.5It’s Beta (I’m currently running my test site on WordPress version 1.5-beta-1 2005-01-29[1])
While 1.2.2 is the current stable version, it’s inevitable that plugin developers are going to want to get involved with the forthcoming new version.
As a user of WordPress, I know I’m spending a lot more time tweaking and refining my 1.5 test site than I am on maintaining my officially live 1.2.x one. It’s great fun entering all my posts in two places….

In reply to: Dreamhost and MysqlIn Dreamhost’s setup, databases exist under a user-specifed hostname. The link from the panel is to dbhost.domain.com – or you can put that in the address line of your browser. Going to that link after entering the db user name and password takes you into phpmyadmin.
So, no name propagation, no db access…..
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Dreamhost and MysqlPropagation is necessary because access is by url of the database: database.yourdomain.com

In reply to: Dreamhost and MysqlI’ve been playing at Dreamhost for about a month now, and so far I’m happy. It’s the first time I’ve used Linux based hosting (all my previous hosts were Windows-based), and up till now it’s been a positive experience. Their control panel works well for me – can’t say I’d be inclined to use the one-click installs, but the rest is good.
For the money[1], it’s a good service.
[1] The current UK-US exchange rate helps there 🙂

In reply to: Dreamhost and MysqlWhat plan are you on? I’m trying out Dreamhost, and I have phpmyadmin.
Go into your panel, select Goodies – you should see MySQL listed there. From that section you can create new databases. Any databases you have alreadt created will be listed at the bottom of the page. The name of each database is a link to phpmyadmin for that database.
The ssh access they offer is a bonus – lots of hosts don’t let their customers have shell access like that. If you don’t know (or care) about that kind of thing, you can safely ignore it….
Dreamhost’s Knowledge Base is very useful, too.

In reply to: Link Spammer InterviewI was wondering how much persuasion the Reg would need to drop a little hint as to the identity of the spammer……

In reply to: having an issue with validationWell, there is a
visible when I view the source of your page.As the validator says, it’s in the
<head>section of the page, right here:<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.fusionrain.com/blog/wp-content
/livecalendar/xmlhttprequest.js'></script><br />
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.fusionrain.com/blog/wp-content
/livecalendar/kcalendarscript.php'></script>(I’ve added some line breaks in there to aid readability)
You have two script lines (copied and pasted from somewhere maybe?) with a
between them. Delete that and you should be fine.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Kubrick wp 1.5Take a look in header.php:
/* To ease the insertion of a personal header image, I have done it in such a way, that you simply drop in an image called 'personalheader.jpg' into your /images/ directory. Dimensions should be at least 760px x 200px. Anything above that will get cropped off of the image. */#headerimg { background: url('<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/personalheader.jpg') no-repeat top;}
If you’re not dropping in a personal header image (or doing it some other way), you can remove those lines, which will stop that error.
