Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I use Dreamhost for my volume hosting domains, and Jaguar for the ones that are mainly just for mail hosting, and it works out just fine. Dreamhost is pretty solid and they give good response and have a great panel.

Jaguar's low cost, and sometimes strange stuff does happen, but they've been good for the email stuff and basic web sites. Nuttin' fancy.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Dreamhost was one of the ones I was looking at; also Laughing Squid.

Haven't heard of Fat Cow; I will have to check it out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm also very happily on Dreamhost.

So Hubby updated to Firefox 4 and now regrets it. How can he roll back?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Heh.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I was wondering if someone here could help me with a PHP/MySQL problem, please. I'm taking an eLearning course in an attempt to learn PHP/MySQL. So far I've installed PHP, Apache, and MySQL on my Windows XP laptop. Everything went fine until I was attempting to run a php file to test whether PHP had MySQL enabled. I got the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in c:program filesapache groupApachehtdocsmysql_connect.php on line 2

I thought I'd edited the php.ini file to enable php_mysql.dll . When I ran the phpinfo file it said the php.ini file was in the WINDOWS folder, and that's the one I edited. I restarted apache.

I'm not sure how to proceed. Suggestions?

Look in the errors logfile?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm assuming the course is more focused on writing php than system administration? In that case, I strongly recommend that you skip installing and configuring everything by hand and just use XAMPP: [link]

Unfortunately, installing and configuring everything myself is part of the course which I need to pass (it's a work thing).

I'll be happy to look in the errors logfile. Where might that sort of thing live?

There should be an entry for where the error file lives in the httpd.conf file.
