I’ve just installed the Hilite plugin in my WP 1.5 test site before uploading. I like the plugin, because it does what you expect of a search function.
But it still has an old bug when searching from the blog:
1. highlighting appears fine the first time you call it
2. but if you enter a new search criterion which you know occurs in one of the posts retrieved by 1.
3. then the old highlighting reappears
4. and only when you press the search button again
5. does the new search expression get highlighted.

It’s as if something is being cached with the previous highlighting.
MacManX, this happens on your site too! try searching for “captcha” and then for “secureImage” and you’ll see what I mean.

Does any of the WP afficionados know what is happening?

Just revisiting this thread after seeing it mentioned on the WordPress Codex.
Having acquired a new computer, Windows XP-Pro and new installations of everything, I was running into the same problems again with my staging system.
shaken is right: the encryption of MySql passwords has changed as of MySql 4.1 and can no longer be understood by the PHP mysql extension. By following shaken’s suggestion, backed up by the MySql documentation, my local WordPress is running smoothly with MySql 4.1.10

Thanks, podz.
I had forgotten this simple Apache solution.

Hi Podz,
I don’t really want to start all from scratch by installing a new XAMPP. May ruin other things which have run until now, in particular I don’t want any dependancy on Apache 2.
However I did just take up your idea and downloaded phpMyAdmin2.6.0. I don’t know this tool, but I got an ominous
#1251 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
when I entered the same parameters I am using for WP (the “protocol” in question was config).
I just don’t understand this – MySql is up and running as a service, it is accessible to MySql Command Line Client and to MySQLAdministrator.

Thanks, Podz. No, I deinstalled IIS years ago so as to concentrate on Apache. I don’t think there’s a problem here.

Thanks for trying, MacManx. I tried: localhost, 127.0.0.1, my PC’s network ID and the IP address that ipconfig gave me. All to no avail.
Having now had a night’s sleep in between, I feel the “famous 5 minute install” is a bit of an exaggeration.

Sorry, no, didn’t make any difference.

Thanks, Error. I tried as you suggested using the MySql Command Line Client. The commands were all OK, but still the same error-message.
The commands are probably the same as what I was doing using MySQLAdministrator.
