first, i am a teacher in a western australian high school. been around a while. thought i would really like to get some kids blogging.

elgg looks the goods.

i notice you also are on to another western australian contribution to the open source community, moodle. i run a moodle site at [Click to view link] i thought i would also like to run a blogger at [Click to view link]

unfortunately, the vagueries of php and site hosting have defeated me for the moment. here is the error message

at the risk of teaching you to suck eggs, here is an explanation,
perhaps

here is what moodle told me

and i guess i could try and write a vhosts.conf file, except i don't
know what one is and my conf directory is forbidden.


if it is not too much trouble, could you concider this problem. maybe a
small change in your set up code.]]> http://curry.elgg.org/mweber/weblog/5582.html Tue, 10 Jan 2006 05:35:46 GMT
i am far from a php guru, in fact am chuffed when i get the "hello world" thing happening.

i tried to load elgg onto my server where i had purchased web space and the thing gave me some base file error message.

be a fan of moodle, i found it installed first time, from an install script, and issues like whether safe mode where on or off didn't seem to be an issue.

i was just wondering if there were some set of standards when writing open source syuff so such problems are negated.
