Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.o wHen i looked at the directory with firefox3 file:///usr/local/www/wordpress, there was a similar complain. I did not believe it--because I *do* have mysql installed. Moreover, I set up a "wordpress" database and wordpress_user, and all the rest of it. So far I am heading into the third day of this: trying to get the wordpress port working on my site. (It strikes me as more than a bit ironic that one of the things in the wp description is that it looks SO simple. Not my experience!) Question:: which MySQL should I have installed to get the port working? I am been debugging this stuff bit-by-bit. So far, I've upgraded the entire 700 ports since last October. I have kept ``ethic'' to be a server: DNS, mail, and web. Be great to host wordpress working so any help will be v much appreciated! gary > -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Journey Toward the Dawn, E-Book: http://www.thought.org The 7.97a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org
