BLOG RUNS
using Wordpress - on Diana, of course. It was very easy (like I thought) to enable multiple blogs on that machine without having to copy everything. Just using a search list as a root directory and copying and adjusting the configuration file did the trick. Of course, after adding the new root to the server configuration (since it has it's own logical root), but that would be needed anyway. Theer might still be some issues but the main fact is: it works great. I have requested to incorporate the required changes in the main code stream - we'll see.
The new address is www.grootersnet.nl/sysblog/ (don't forget the last "/" otherwise it wont work yet - one of those little annoyances...)
cURL
is required to be set up to get the Blogger content (this blog, that is), but HP's PHP-engine that is used for WASD to be able to handle PHJPO code, does not include it - and the cURL site claims it ought to be built-in since 4.0, and since HP's PHP engine is based on 4.1, so you would expect it to be included. Alas, is isnt. But I could download 7.15-2 for VMS and installed it, but without rebuilding the whole PHP stuff, it's not possible. And rebuilding PHPSHR from scratch, without the required logicals or even MMS files? I don't want to get onto that!.
Having that, I could give it a try to get the data and I did. However, it's quite a lot of work to get it all into the new blog...
