Wordpress Install on Litespeed

Amr,

I think to build your own lsphp binary is more likely fix the problem.
The MySQL client in the pre-built lsphp binary does not compatible with the new authentication method used by MySQL 4.1 and above. If you are using MySQL 4.1+, you definitely should rebuild you own lsphp binary.

thank you both kind sirs, I will follow your sage advices, and see where that takes me. eventually I think I'm looking at a recompile because everything else has stayed exactly the same and I can use mysql to connect from commandline.. (unless it is the way i'm defining the VHost which shouldn't really effect php->mysql interactions. The only new variable here is the precompiled lsphp.

thnaks! I'll post back my progress, and definitely a howto with screen shots.. so other litespeed noobs don't have to go through this pain (of their own creation mostly)

BINGO!!

this worked! i got my wordpress working.. yay!

thanks to both you and xing! for helpful hints. I'm going to document it and submit it back as a howto or something.

I used your wiki php guide (in the sticki post) to compile the php, but used 4.4.4 instead of 5.1.x as is described. also, compiled the 2.2 version of the lsapi instead of 2.1 which the wiki entry talks about.

the secret was to not get too complicated in my own thinking.. litespeed already does everything.. just don't confuse litespeed rails setup with a simple php + wordpress setup.

Thanks Xing!
Thanks mistwang!

you guys are awesome!

great thread... almost exactly what I need. Is there a quick start guide anywhere?

I'm specifically looking to do a clean install of litespeed and wordpress mu on an intel box. Soo glad I found this post...
