Nevermind. It’s my fault. Your plugin is not expecting the ending semicolon, which is valid (and required) by mysql. This is a bit confusing to someone who is expecting to enter a valid mysql statement.
Just wanted to say thank you, and let you know that worked out perfectly!
Or, do I even need to do a reinstall? Can I drop the symlink, and just unpack the tarball in /var/www, and go from there? Will I want to drop the wp database in MySQL?
Ah ha! I did in fact install WP using apt-get install wordpress. Since I’m basically just getting started, is my best option to do a reinstall, download the WP tarball, and unzip it directly in/var/www?
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS… sorry
