					<description>Oh, I am sorry I keep asking humble questions which may seem silly to others.

But I have a Mac Box, Powerbook G4, running Tiger 4.4.11. 

Your information on how to set up a wordpress blog was for microsystems.

I want to start a blog.

Can anyone give directions using open source OR Macintosh systems?

Thank you.

Salaam my friend, in his name most high. 

(I want to read Fatima's stories..can you make a link to her stories easy?)

		<title>Comment on HOWTO: Installing MySQL, PHP and PHPMyAdmin on IIS - Part 1 MySQL Server by markgreninger</title>

					<description>Hi Shabbir,

First of all, I wanted to thank you for the invaluable guide installing IIS with PHP - your guide is the best!  Got me all the way to my goal - installing Wordpress, which I imagine a number of folks are doing with this install.

Some things that came up during the installation:

1)   I never found sections 2 and 4 - if you complete those that would be great!

2)  Since I am using IIS 5 - the section on Web Service Extensions isn't necessary - another blog help me figure that out - I would just note that.

3)  The most difficult part of this installation stack is PHP.  There are so many little configuration options, and you did a fantastic job of explaining them.  I still don't know if I got everything right, since I don't see the session files, etc - but things seem OK.

  but let me get to my comment.  

You suggested adding a lot of extensions, which is great.  But when it came time to install Wordpress, I started getting "Access Violation Error."  After a bit of digging someone noted that some of the extensions aren't written for the multi-threaded IIS environment, so I commented all of the extensions, and things went smoothly from there.  I thought this would be valuable.  As well, it was hard for me to copy across all of the extensions - if you can put them in a list format so I could just copy and paste, that would be easiest!

Secondly, since many folks are going to use Wordpress, and especially mySQL with PHP, I would recommend adding a note to uncomment the mySQL dll extension.


Last comment - if you add a section 5 about installing and configuring wordpress, since you really seem to know it - that would make your blog the one resource we need!!

Thanks again!</description>

					<description>Excellent HOWTO!  The best part is EVERYTHING WORKS!  You even tell WHY you made your choices.  I noticed, however, that each place you intend to show a backslash, it doesn't show.  You need to put in TWO for each one so it shows correctly.  

Please work on Part 4 First, since phpMyAdmin is the BEST way to administer MySQL, IMHO.
