[FX.php List] [OFF]: blog and mysql -- resolved

[Bob Patin]

Hi,

Thanks to the excellent assistance of Leo Lundgren, I was able to get  
my blog going again. He suspected that a line was missing from my  
mysql.ini file, which indeed it was. When we added it back, it fixed  
everything.

I don't have the line in front of me, but it's in my IM chat  
transcript, if anyone should ever need it.

Also, by updating from PHP 4.4.6 to PHP 5.2.4, I'm now able to run  
WordPress 2.7 without any trouble.  So it all worked out in the end...  
but what a pain for a while there.

Thanks to all who tried to help...
