I Has a Habari

Bluehost updated all their servers last night or so, so my first response was to upgrade from habari 0.2DR to 0.3.3, My first attempt failed, since the bluehost upgrade moved the location of pdo.so, so my old php.ini didn't work anymore. Fortunately, bluehost now has default php.ini1 , which I installed, and saw that not only had pdo.so moved, but pdo_mysql.so is installed but commented out. I removed the comment, and habari runs just fine.

Next trick was to import my wordpress install. Importers all live in plugins, so while I was on the plugin page, I also activated the pingback plugin.

I apologize to everyone who received a ping from me while my posts were importing. Feel free to delete them.

The effort of pinging everything as it imported killed my import prematurely, so only there wasn't as much chaos as their could have been. Running the import again, sans pingbacks, worked fine, though. As I told Options, I won't be using habari to run archgfx at present, since i have some 30-odd pages that don't really behave yet, but at least I can hack about with the software for now.


  1. In CPanel, under PHP Config, there's an "Install Master PHP.ini File" button (back ↩)

    I noticed the ping, so you have another blog with the same content as this one?

    It’s identical, yes, but not likely to last. I’m just testing habari out to see what it would take to switch.

    Would switching to habari imply that you’d stop developing wordpress themes?

    I ask because I’m a big fan of Disconnected, and I’d noticed that sourceforge had a “disconnected 2.0″ project- I was curious where that was going:P

    if you’re still planning on a disconnected 2.0- Are there any screenshots/mockups of the general idea of where you’d go with it?

    alex –

    no, wordpress is a big chunk of my day job, and will continue to be, no matter what i do with my own blog.

    Disconnected 2.0 was an evolution of my own website. it’s actually available in the code respository on sourceforge, I just never thought it was worth zipping up and releasing.

    It’s cool, but I think I prefer the “flow” of 1.2 :P

    Thanks for the info!
