Back in operation

If you attempted to visit this blog in the last day and were greeted by the mysterious message “Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress,” you will know what I mean when I say “back in operation.”

Apparently a new installation of PHP (the software that runs this blog) at the webhosting service yesterday morning caused PHP to stop interacting with the separate MySQL databases where PHP programs keep their data. I’m pleased to see that the hosting company has fixed the problem.

Thanks to those of you who contacted me about the error message. It’s weird to think how dependent we have become on technology that didn’t exist just a few years ago.

  1. I agree with the dependency, this isn’t getting any easier. What happened to the days when the only entertainment was the front porch?
