SUBST doesn't work - I already have N: set up to be B:\NetShare and the installer doesn't list that either, so either it's ignoring SUBSTed drives, or it just won't let me put data on an external drive.

 

As for why Perl, well, BOB knows it so if I have problems I can phone/txt/gchat him and make him fix things. And I like archaic. Maybe.

 

And anyway, if not Perl, then what? (not PHP)

Why not? I've kinda (half-)written a bloggy think in PHP/MySQL and it's OK.

Well of course I'd recommend what I use, which is Railo CFML - has a nice easy learning curve and is brilliant in lots of ways. :)

Rendle would probably recommend Ruby, because he uses/likes that.

Python is also popular for web stuff these days.

All these options are modern/active/etc and have plenty of tutorials and help available online, all have good web frameworks available, and are capable of easily creating a blog application, or whatever else you might want to do.

There are other choices too, but I'd suggest picking one of the above (or maybe even check out all three) and see if you like it/them.

Just so you know, you're not limited to Perl/PHP with that:

I use WAMP (as recommended on here) to have a nice Apache, MySQL and PHP web server run happily.

But for some, as yet unexplained, reason Mr Zobu eschews PHP.

Well he's silly.

 

I've made quite a few things with PHP and MySQL now that serve a few useful purposes, blog stuff, databases etc.

 

I would build my own system for my TKD site but it's not just me adding news so I went with CuteNews because it was very easy to setup and it's easy to use for the non-techy types without being overkill.

Agreed, I've done some fairly useful stuff with PHP, but perhaps there's some specific facet of Perl/PHP that he likes/dislikes. I cannot imagine what that would be though (shrug)

Actually, it's easy to imagine what it might be: PHP is fucking ugly, with all those damned $dollars, under_scores, arrow->operators, and the silly paamayim::nekudotayim.

Or it might be that nobody cares if you know PHP (since it's so commonplace), and he wants something that might be found interesting instead of mundane.

Or maybe it's because it has a silly name and recursive acronym and is too many sylabulls.

Or, like, who cares. Life is too short to worry over whether someone picks PHP or not.

I am a great fool.

It's actually Python wot Bob knows (and recommends). I don't know why I got it confused with Perl.

So anyway, I installed Apache again, then Python, and I think I installed Pylons properly. The welcome page showed up on localhost:5000 anyway, and Paste seemed to be doing something.

So! I think I'll get to grips a bit more with this whole Python lark first, then maybe make something useful :O

If you want a framework with it check out django...

And you're an oil painting? :?
nobody cares if you know PHP (since it's so commonplace)

By the same token, there's plenty of help readily available.
he wants something that might be found interesting instead of mundane.

Your suggestion of CF (or derivative thereof) indicates a confusion between 'interesting' and 'quaint'.
Or maybe it's because it has a silly name and recursive acronym and is too many sylabulls.

The first sensible suggestion that you've made! :)
