Not exactly extensive, but with the amount of CMS out there, it's nice
that Geeklog is among the few that they've picked out.


With all the naming discussions we had in the past, this bit made me laugh:

>The name alone should pique your interest.


bye, Dirk

Subject: [geeklog-devel] mysql innodb & backup
Reply-To: geeklog-devel at lists.geeklog.net

After doing some reading, it looks like innodb, should not be the 
default for a database. Mainly, you can't backup without shutting down 
mysql. You can use mysqldump --single-transaction, but that will lock 
everyone out of the database. If you have an active site, people will be 
locked out.

I'm doing some more reading to get more farmilar with innodb, but for 
the majority of users, myisam should handle there needs.

Any thoughts?

Dwight

As a follow up to this, I discovered that trying to upload any gif file with 
a story with the gdlib option chosen fails with the error:

Error: Chmod of aldrich.gif to 0644 failed

or whatever your gif is named.  Removing the gdlib option from config.php 
allows the upload to work.

This is the gdlib and php with Fedora Core 2.
