WordPress 2.0 Released
cyberchucktx writes "Version 2.0 of the Wordpress open source blogging software has now been released." From the post: "In the past if you were linking to a number of posts or pinging a lot of update services, your posting time could appear to slow to a crawl even though everything was instantly done on the backend. We've modified how this works now so posting should be near-instantaneous, like everything else in WordPress."
Not only are you using an ancient version of WordPress, you are using one that has some serious security issues. You need to invest in making it work.
I have gotten WordPress 1.5 to work on Windows before just fine, even with Apache running in Windows.
Haven't tried it with version 2.0, but that is due to me moving to OS X and not bothering to boot up the Windows laptop to give it a shot...
Or you could read the F.A.
"Improved Abstraction — We've eliminated almost all direct SQL queries from the code and moved them to functions and classes that make the entire program more consistent."
granted, no clue why they didn't eliminate all direct queries alltogether ("almost?" what you do you mean, "almost"?) but it's a damn good start towards db independence. a basic blog engine shouldn't be using any non-standard SQL calls anyway so support for Postgres should be easy at this point.
emphasis on should, though. The glass is half empty in my world.
