5 hours of server setup later, http://www.windsorhills.org is here.
well, it was here before, but it’s here now, again…
i found out that PHP 4.x doesn’t include mysqli, and PHP 5.x includes mysqli but it isn’t enabled by default. MySQL < 4.1 uses mysql, whereas MySQL => 4.1 uses mysqli. blah blah. i finally got mysql 5.0.24 something and php 5.x to work with apache 2 and phpmyadmin 2.9 something. yay. it really shouldn’t have taken 5 hours, though.
