Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Trouble running install scriptIf the database details are correct, and you are entering them correctly, then it should work.
If your host have sent your details via email on in a ticket (somewhere you can copy and paste), try copying what they sent you. But do so via a simple text editor like notepad or textpad. This will help remove any ambiguous or extraneous characters.

In reply to: subcategory to subdomain mappingYou could possible set up a wildcard DNS record for *.maindomain.com and then use web server redirects or a WordPress hook to push the visitor onto maindomain.com/$1
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: WordPress Update & PHPI still have one or two WP 2.8 installations running on 5.3.3
CAVEAT:
Upgrading will affect everything else related to it. Which may or may not break anything.My rule of thumb is as follows
– If you’re worried about, then it is important
– If it is important it has some intrinsic value
– If you’re asking vaguely about it, then you’re not sure what you’re doing
– If you not sure what you are doing, and it’s something valuable, it is worth hiring someone that knows what they are doingHowever, I believe in learning by trying, and learning a lot from mistakes 🙂

Query String: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string
Associative arrays: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array“sort_column=menu_order&menu_location=main-menu&container_id…” is a query string part with a series of key value pairs
Esmi’s PHP array is the same set of key value pairs in an associative arrayForum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Do AUTO_INCREMENTS have to be sequential?MySQL stores each auto-increment value. It cannot be set to a value lower than it currently is. The only way to reset it is to truncate (or drop+create). Usually it is combined with a PRIMARY or UNIQUE key which stops the same value being re-used. However, you can set the value to be anything you like.

In reply to: Reverse ProxyWordPress is written in PHP and is designed to use a MySQL database.
Anything that can read and interpret PHP can interpret the WordPress code. Commonly this is Apache. But it doesn’t have to be.
A reverse proxy would in this case be something that grabs http request packets and hands them over to something that can do the PHP interpretation (and then hand the result back to requesting client). You could use Apache for this, or something else like lighttp, nginx, varnish.
Your question sounds more like a sysadmin webserver building question, rather than anything WordPress specific. If you really want to learn about reverse proxies, then I suggest everyone’s friends Google and Wikipedia. Pick one and go their forums to learn how it works.
