Blog admin on firefly - testing

OK, I think I finally broke the logjam that was stopping PHP/Oracle and Perl/Oracle communication from working at the same time. Now we can run the blog server and similar tools written in Perl on the same server where we run the main site (PHP.)

So let's see how well this performs...

Wow, that actually worked!

OK, so it actually did publish. But the thing is so ssllowww... it took 3 minutes to republish my whole blog.

But you know... we still can't actually use this, because it can't put blogs into the main website. Crap. So we're back to trying to compile that $%*&^}$(*$#{$!!! DBD::mysql module on firefly again. For freak's sake, this was supposed to be done a week ago now!

blog.wou.edu experiment

I'm making this entry on the new blog.wou.edu server... however, it just occurred to me I probably can't publish across NFS from this box.

So probably this will go into the DB but publishing will fail, then next time I publish from the old server it will work. In other words, we have not yet succeeded. Probably.
