Little install woes
Right now it’s woes, not wow’s - trying to figure out why I can’t get the RetrospectGDS to work, because I want to integrate it with WordPress right here on my site, and while doing so I’m probably driving the coder crazy because when a non-coder who really doesn’t grasps the ins and outs of it all, tries tracking down the cause of something, this non-coder finds a lot of interesting things along the way which raise little flags which are nothing but how it’s supposed to be, but to the non-coder it all yells ALARM ALARM this just can’t be right.
But, but, but… it’s all just so INTERESTING!
After all the false alarms though I do believe I’ve tracked down the true culprit. The coder had written to me and said that I need the latest Fink “gettext” module for Apache and I had Bear check and look and his Fink installer (or whatever he is using) reported that he is using 0.10.40-17 and that this would be the latest version, i.e. up-to-date. This morning, still groggy from late night work, I’m browsing the net to find out more about this gettext thing and after reading here and there I go to Sourgeforge to look at the release versions an guess what - there IS a later version out, not just one, but about 3 later ones, the latest being 0.14 - hah. So there might be a solution to the problem at my fingertips. Now we only need to get this program which thinks it’s up-to-date to accept the later version…

Meanwhile we’ve updated the FINK install which in turn DID recognize there was a later gettext module, so now we have the version 0.10.19 installed which is the latest STABLE release of it. FINK took forever to update, but finally did - but still no go. Ran out of ideas at this point. The coder volunteered to check the stuff out on our server, which is really nice of him.

Oops, just found something odd here on the page after adding the above comment: the line STILL reads NO COMMENTS YET - which is wrong… odd, older postings do show the right header info there.

ACTUALLY the comment things is WEIRD-er… more weird… than said just a moment ago. After posting I was able to SEE my 2 comments and it stated NO COMMENTS YET - and OFFICIALLY they where not yet added to the comments, I first had to APPROVE them (as I’ve set WordPress to moderated), and then the comment header changed to reflect the correct amount of comments posted.
I guess that in a way this is cool - people will think their comment as been posted… even if it’s not. Or it is and only the title header changes? Then that would be stupid because why then should I moderate?
Let’s see what comes out of it.
Basically I want to eliminate the moderation que. Else I guess I’ll need to put a little blurb up to let people know what is going on.
