Its always going to be hard to support folk that insist on running EasyPhp and other unusual configurations – when you take them on you have to accept that sometimes its not always going to go your way ??

I’d bite the bullet and download Apache and PHP and get standard – you’ll learn a thing or two and wind up enjoying the experience a whole lot more. Yeah EasyPHP has these components, but they are not the recommended means for installing the software and its just going to make your life difficult.

Uncheck ‘Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)’ — tis the only way. Personally I kinda like having those comments show up ….

What PHP version? If it is PHP 5 then you will need to specifically uncomment the MySQL extension as it is not enabled by default.

look for a line something like this:

;extension=php_msql.dll

remove the leading semi-colon — this will be different on Linux where you will have to compile PHP 5 with MySQL support.

I do not think there is an easy answer – unless you want to pick through the WP functions, templates etc etc and alter them to this.

When you setup PHP did you set the Win32 specific variables up?

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smpt.youroutgoingmail.com
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [email protected]

Without these PHP isnt going to send a thing.

Are you guys on 1.5.1 — because the original 1.5 had a bug that stopped mail going out.

Awesome – thanks guys

You could change the post-slug to something more friendly …

What do your access logs look like?? I had something similar happen to me once and I was getting my box hammered in what was essentially a DOS attack….

I was just coming here to post regarding this when I saw your thread– the exact thing happened to me, WordPress didn’t clear out the existing content of .htaccess merely tacked onto the end of the file and I got the same Server Error message you did. Once I removed the original entry everything was working with the new permalink structure.

I would hope this is something that was corrected in the next version – or if it is uncorrectable (it happens) then I think warnings should be given explaining the consequences.

Oooh should I tweak it for Oracle ?!

You can search for them however it’d still be nice to have a big list.

Login — goto the Admin Pages and Options. There you will find WordPress address (URI) and Blog address (URI) variables you should update.

The address you should supply is the address people use to access your page from an external machine. If this is just an IP address then I’d suggest purchasing a domain name ($9 a year or so) and using zoneedit.com to point it at your PC.

OK its up — should be good but please heed my advice and backup ??

Yank — needs work — I’ll post it later.
