[QUOTE="kali89, post: 1760121, member: 256541"] hi Ember, thank you for your response...... I also hate WP (and I have also always hated CMS's, WYSIWYGs); I have always always hand-coded, but in my situation now (I'm retired and living in South America), WP is a good thing to know, most freelance gigs here, the people want their sites to be done in WP, and at any rate, the site I will be building is for a small business, and it will include cc purchases; I'have never done this (have never implemented something like this entirely on my own); and I want to learn WP anyway, it's a useful skill to have here, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to do so (the alternative would be my "classic" way: PHP, just like that, no frameworks... jQuery for front-end functionality; regular hosting, FTP file transfer, the usual... but I would need to implement db and the cc (e-commerce) feature (it's for a small biz that sells wholesale jewelry) so I'd like to try WP (also want to check out how they implement db... and at any rate WP runs on PHP, another plus, I guess....;~) the reason I'm reluctant to do more than bare-bones tinkering with config files, etc here, instead of "reinventing the wheel" and installing things like MAMP, is that I don't want whatever I do to affect the running of the sites I currently have in my PHP env (or to affect how mySQL works too.. one time years ago I installed XAMP, I think, it came with mySQL.. I already had mySQL installed; it never worked again after I had installed XAMP that came with mySQL.. I just don't want something like this to happen...) so I'm trying to do it the "minimalist" way...;~)) so to your suggestions: this "mucking around with Apache" cannot be done on the unix shell? what is this exactly, please? and would this affect the running of my websites in my PHP env I descbribed in my previous post? a "disposable" linux machine???? I have worked with Linux..... thank you..... [/QUOTE]
