assume you use Apache, it is rather simple. Say, if you want a /var/www/html/subDomain1 to hold your subDomain programs, you can set up two virtual hosts in httpd.conf
1. ‘subDomain1.yourdomain.com’ to have /var/www/html/subDomain1 as its DocumentRoot
2. ‘www.yourdomain.com’ to have ‘/var/www/html/wordpress’ as its DocumentRoot

In other words, wordpress isn’t self-aware, but relies on Apache to direct requests to it.

If you have downloaded the emailPlugin.zip. you can unzip it to /wordpress/wp-content/plugins. Then you logon as your blog site-admin to activate it under Options/plugins.
Wordpress 2 notifies you on comments stuff already, w/o extra plugin. As long as you have email program installed (sendmail/postfix) on the localhost, assume UNIX/Linux, you are good to go.

I believe it is added by default already, for links in comments.

welcome to FF ?? BTW, it had nothing to do with JAVA runtime. javascript is a different beast. javascript support may have been disabled by accident or by design.

thanks, at least now I know what to expect. I can’t find an obvious way to delete the duplicated ones myself. Shoudl I assume that’s by design?

the instruction is to disable all plugins before upgrading. If you didn’t do that, I’d recommend to roll your backup tarball, then retry upgrading.

switch to other themes (like the default/classic/kubrik) that comes with wordpress 2.1. This way you can determine whether it is a real db error, or it is just the theme is not updated for wordpress 2.1

what browser you are using? can you switch to Firefox 2 just for troubleshooting purposes?

BX_get_recent_posts() in Blix theme can give the idea. you just need to remove ‘limit $limit’ from the query

I’d use secure-admin plugin to force https for wp-login.php and /wp-admin/.
choose strong password for admin (or even client certificate)

the author’s site says the following:
“WP-Amazon is broken in WordPress 2.1… a new Ajax based version is coming out soon”

I would check error_log for Apache to see if you can find some PHP complaints. It is at /var/log/httpd/error_log for my FC6 installation.
also, should we assume your php/mysql meet the minimum requirements?

the first one is simple. you can set directly from admin’s dashboard, under options/reading/Blog Pages/Show at most:1 posts
The search results is handed by wp-content/themes/yourTheme/search.php. The default wordpress theme just display them all, if I read it correctly.

For wordpress 2.1, you can change it directly from site admin’s dashboard. It is under Options/Reading/Front Page. There, you can select the home page and the blog page. The default is the have the recent posts in the home page.
