(FTP) it only uses this when it detects that files it creates have the wrong owner name

so, it’s clear… the owner of the dir and php process is different.

login ssh, do this

chown -R apache dir

it’s ok now.

如果你需要独立为数据库服务支付购买，或者并不满意主机系统繁杂的mySQL数据服务，倒真的是应该尝试一下SQLite这样的轻量级数据库。6 L, P: b# {% i+ Q! W
SQLite官网：http://www.sqlite.org
系统环境依赖要求：8 N4 i$ e’ H2 m! }3 W1 c
主机php套件必须支持SQLite和PDO扩展（不过放心，常见系统都是完美支持的）；SQLite的数据库信息存于独立文件中，该文件及文件夹必须要求读写权限。很简单，就这些要求。

这里指出一个简易的方法：首先在wordpress后台中使用“工具-导出”功能导出.xml文件。
然后，下载SQLite的wordpress功能插件-“PDO(SQLite) For WordPress”，将压缩包中的db.php和pdo文件夹放置到wp-content文件夹中。

至此，重新访问wordpress已经启动了新的安装界面，如同安装，完后使用前面导出的.xml文件，回到wordpress后台然后“导入”即可恢复原数据，然后自行配置一下插件和主题，此时SQLite已经完全开始服役，所有数据读写皆交由SQLite处理。如果此间出现错误，请检查wp-content目录下是否自动生成了database目录，该目录下是否生成了相应的数据库文件myblog.sqlite和.htaccess文件，是否赋予可读写权限？  \: d+ [0 U0 P. E( M3 L+ `; K
SQLite能最大限度的降低建站成本，降低维护难度，又能很好的规避mySQL的缺点，SQLite为中小型数据应用很有前景。

• If you try to back up your database, you’ll be thrown with this error message – wp_comments is marked as crashed and should be repaired when using LOCK TABLES
• Recent comments widget appears blank.
• Top commenter widget appears blank.
• Comment posted will not be written into DB, therefore will not be shown.
• Comments section in WP Admin appears to have zero records.

After searching the Internet high and low in hoping to find similar cases to help me identify and fix the problem, I end up with nothing. So I tried it my way and luckily enough, I managed to solved it. I thought writing the entry out will not only help those who suffered the same, also keep myself reminded just in case I hit on this error again in the future.

The fix / Solution

To fix this, you must have access to the wordpress database, either via PhpMyAdmin or Secure Shell (SSH). Most shared hosting account comes with phpMyAdmin, but either option you should be extremely careful because you dealing with the database. Any wrong move will cause more data lost.

PhpMyAdmin

In PhpMyadmin, select the WordPress database and look for the error table. In my case, the ‘wp_comments‘ table. Check it, and scroll all the way down and look for ‘With selected‘ drop-down box. Select Repair table and things should be alright.

Secure Shell

1. Login to your shell
2. Enter ‘mysql -u username -p database_name‘ to access databases
3. Enter ’show databases;’ to view all databases
4. Enter ‘use database_name;‘ to engage the database
5. Enter ‘show tables;‘ to show all tables within the database
6. Enter ‘check table wordpress_table_name‘ to verify this is the corrupted table
7. Fix it with ‘repair table wordpress_table_name‘
8. Enter ‘check table wordpress_table_name‘ again to make sure it’s fixed

Step 3 and 5 are not necessary if you are familiar with your databases and tables. Hope this helps.

here’s the WordPress theme that gets very close to a Mac OS X Leopard – Leopress. Leopress tries to look like the Mac’s Finder, and I think it’s pretty close. One good reason why you will want to use WordPress themes that mimic other interface is – it kinda camouflage your blogging activity, hiding them from bosses or superiors who passes by.

Step 1

Look for functions.php (Create one if you don’t have). Insert the following code into it, save and close. We are done with functions.php. Basically what this codes does is – it register the sidebar as dynamic.

<?php
if ( function_exists(’register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar();
?>

Step 2

Here’s how a typical sidebar.php will look like.

<div id=”sidebar”>
<h2>Search this site</h2>
<div id=”searchdiv”>
<form id=”searchform” method=”get” action=”<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>”>
<input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” size=”20″/>
<input name=”sbutt” type=”submit” value=”Go” alt=”Submit” />
</form>
</div>
<h2><?php _e(’Archives’); ?></h2>
<ul><?php wp_get_archives(’type=monthly’); ?></ul>
<h2><?php _e(’Categories’); ?></h2>
<ul><?php list_cats() ?></ul>
<h2><?php _e(’Meta’); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
<li><a href=”<?php bloginfo(’rss2_url’); ?>”>RSS</a></li>
<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
</ul>
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
</div>

What you need to do here is to enclose an an-if statement into sidebar.php. The addition of codes are in bold.

<div id=”sidebar”>
<h2>Search this site</h2>
<div id=”searchdiv”>
<form id=”searchform” method=”get” action=”<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>”>
<input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” size=”20″/>
<input name=”sbutt” type=”submit” value=”Go” alt=”Submit” />
</form>
</div>
//
<?php if ( !function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?> // added
//
<h2><?php _e(’Archives’); ?></h2>
<ul><?php wp_get_archives(’type=monthly’); ?></ul>
<h2><?php _e(’Categories’); ?></h2>
<ul><?php list_cats() ?></ul>
<h2><?php _e(’Meta’); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
<li><a href=”<?php bloginfo(’rss2_url’); ?>”>RSS</a></li>
<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
</ul>
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
//
<?php endif; ?> // added
//
</div>

That’s it. The theme now is now widgetized. You can now do the drag-drops like the widget themes. Here’s a goodWordPress widget resource.
