In reply to: external RSS feedsIt was Magpie that got me interested in asking if anyone had a hack for wp. I’ll just use that or something like it.

In reply to: Installation errorAlright, I’ll answer my own question: I didn’t compile php4 with the –with-mysql option.
Things progressed a lot farther after recompiling php.
I still have some errors…but at least things seem to be working now 🙂

Any ideas?

In reply to: Installation errorThanks for helping out, dougal.
I downloaded 0.72 and installed it. I get the same results for /wp/wp-admin/wp-install.php as before:

Here are the lines I changed in my wp-config.php (nothing at the end of the file):
————————————————————
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘mc’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘mcadmin’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxx’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

I bet there’s a problem with it connecting to mysql. For fun, here’s how I access mysql, get the stats for the database mc and then try to lookup the wp_posts table:
————————————————————
[bin]$ ./mysql -p –user=mcadmin mc
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 50 to server version: 4.0.15-standard-log
Type ‘help;’ or ‘\h’ for help. Type ‘\c’ to clear the buffer.
