Update of Wordpress
to 2.0.5 after craeting a backup (see yesterday's issue). Deleting all files unless otherwise stated is a bit srastic, so I renamed the directory, created a new one and filled it up with all the "old" files. I downloaded the new zip file (the tar.gz file cannot be expanded on VMS since gunzip doesn't recognize it as a gzip file...) and unzipped it, fired the upgrade script and that was just it.
At least, it looked like that but it wasn't: publishing a new post seemed not to return - it simply failed. The page however was published so it was just the return to the edit pages that failed.
So I still had to do what was in the guide.
After that, It's all Ok!
Next
is to create several blogs. It must be possible since the database contains a "BlogId", by which I presume different blogs carry different ID's and so there can be multiple blogs on the same code. Following the good practice to have each on them on a (concealed) device by itself, that logical could be a search list: first the blog root, and second the general code. Blog-specific code can than be kept on the blog directory itself.
Oh, the wonders of VMS!!!!
