Blogging from the console with Wordpress

content moved from PDA

It turns out that running the combination of Apache + Mysqld + Qtopia + browser + Wordpress is too much for my stock Zaurus 5500 with 16M swap file on the ramdisk. I am writing this into Lynx using the bare console with Qtopia turned off.

1. Note to self — How do I turn Qte back on? I know there is a shell script somewhere but I have failed to memorize the name.

2. Note to self — must get Apache to automatically serve index.php files. Now being dumped into directories.

3. Note to self — research PHP memory usage in wordpress.
And the performance is miserable too. And what about spell checking? I may have to get that from my browser.

And look now, it got posted (published) and I can go back for an edit! It is really a surprise that this works since the version of lynx I’m using is not even javascript capable.

Answer to 2: To get back to Qtopia use the script /sbin/qt while root. Update: you can just exit the shell and you will drop back into the countdown to Qtopia.

Answer to 1: I fixed the problem with Apache not automatically serving up an index.php file by adding index.php after index.html in the appropriate place in the httpd.conf file, then stopping and restarting Apache (which I do with apachectl.sh stop and apachecrl.sh start).
