Problem with wordpress

[Useless]

For those interested, Habari installed effortlessly at Colo-cation and appears to work just fine. Here's test installation. http://www.maladaptedmedia.com/

Here's the simple method, disregarding their convoluted install directions:
-Download habari_makaanga.zip from here http://habariproject.org/dist/
-Extract its contents on your desktop or wherever.
-In the directory named 'user', you'll need to create two new directories; one named 'files' and another named 'cache'.
-Upload all of that junk to your host.
-Wherever Habari is going to reside add this to your .htaccess file:

### HABARI START
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteBase /
RewriteRule . index.php [PT]
RewriteRule ^(system/(classes|locale|schema|$)) index.php [PT]
### HABARI END

...or create a new .htaccess file with that info if there is no file already present. (It will go in the root of your Habari installation. In other words, if Habari is being installed in a directory named, 'blog', your new .htaccess file would go inside the 'blog' directory, but not inside any of the directories that came with Habari. If Habari is being installed at the root of a domain, then Habari's .htaccess file would reside there outside of Habari's directories, just like the index.php file that comes with Habari.)
-CHMOD the 'cache' and 'files' directories so that they can be written to by your server. (755 or 777 should work.) (Habari will install and function without them, but you'll want them, especially the cache directory.)
-Call up your Habari installation, e.g. http://www.mydomain/index.php
-Fill in all the pretty boxes with the required information.
-After you hit the install button, Habari may bitch that it wasn't able to create a config file, but it will give you the code necessary for it. Copy and paste that information in to a new text file and name it 'config.php', then upload it to the root of your installation. (It goes right there with your .htaccess file and Habari's index.php.)

That's about it.

The post editor doesn't appear to be much of an editor at all. It's not what one would call a "rich" editor with all kinds of fun WYISWYG buttons. There may be a plugin for that though.

It's sort of nifty, like all new scripts are, but I haven't formed any opinion of it yet.

Thanks UW, you saved me the effort of putting that together for Ana and any of those interested. I would reiterate what I mentioned in my earlier post, however, about the fact that .pdo and inconv need to be enabled in php 5.0 or higher for it to work. Most hosts do not have them enabled by default - kudos to Colo for doing so as there is no good reason not to have them enabled.

One note: Use Firefox when using the script - I will explain why later as I am heading out right now.

FWIW, I have solved most of the issues that I think a pornblogger will be facing using the script - and there are text editor plug-ins (TinyMce amongst others). It is a very good platform for simple blogging - fast and intutive - and is an excellent platform for porting over posts written in html as it renders html and xhtml code effortlessly.

As an aside, the blog that I am developing on the platform is here: Masturbating Babes. It needs some sidebar and footer refinement as well as some SEO work on the home page, but is otherwise ready to launch after playing with the script for two days and resolving issues.
