Notice that you should of course not copy all your template stylesheet styles to the editor stylesheet. Only the ones necessary, typically the styles that is used for styling your posts.

This default behaviour can be changed if you’d like your images not to be automatically linked. Preferably in your templates function.php file so you can make sure you can update WordPress later with no lost setup.

update_option('image_default_link_type','none');

The other options are 'file' and 'post'.

I use WordPress as a blogging tool. Instead of logging into the administration system I can easily create my blog entries in a desktop program and publish my entry if XML-RPC and Atom Publishing Protocol settings are enabled in your WordPress blog (Settings –> Writing)

I use Windows Live Writer and my blog is in a hosted environment and therefore I can not configure server myself since configuration is shared among all users.

I noticed using WordPress 2.9.2 that I could not use any desktop program to remotely publish correctly formatted posts anymore. <> and & characters were removed from my posts and therefore rendered incorrectly. I found out that it is was caused by an incorrect usage of a library, LibXML2, associated with PHP (the scripting engine WordPress use).

To correct this problem in a hosted environment you can download a plug-in that will help you take care of this problem. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7771

The plugin can be located here http://josephscott.org/code/wordpress/plugin-libxml2-fix/

If you still have problems (which I had), you can try to downgrade the library one version further by editing the plugin file libxml2-fix.php

Replace:

if (
    LIBXML_DOTTED_VERSION == ’2.6.27′

With:

if (
    LIBXML_DOTTED_VERSION == ’2.6.26′

On a Windows 2008 Server Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 was installed. CRM web application was using port 80 and had no host headers defined.

Great, I wanted another web application to be located on the same server and therefore we created a DNS entry to point to that specific machine (IP-address). I created the web application and specified the host header to DNS specified address. The web application was using Windows Integrated Authentication and the application had a domain service account specified in the application pool that was assigned to the web application.

Great so lets try it; http://mydnsentry/

Windows keeps asking for username and password and I was never let in. From another server I made a connection http://mydnsentry and now it suddenly worked. Strange? Working from OUTSIDE the server but not INSIDE the server itself.

We spent hours and hours thinking Kerberos was setup incomplete, tried about every trick ever known and finally stumpled upon this article from Microsoft

So if you have a host header that does NOT match the local computer name you will get problems unless you disable “Loopback check”. This security feature has been added to prevent a reflection attack.

Quote from article; 

This issue occurs if you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1). Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 include a loopback check security feature that is designed to help prevent reflection attacks on your computer. Therefore, authentication fails if the FQDN or the custom host header that you use does not match the local computer name.

To set the DisableLoopbackCheck registry key yourself, follow these steps:

1. Set the DisableStrictNameChecking registry entry to 1. For more information about how to do this, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
   281308  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281308/ ) Connecting to SMB share on a Windows 2000-based computer or a Windows Server 2003-based computer may not work with an alias name
2. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
4. Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
5. Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.
6. Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.
7. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
8. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

A faster way (if you do not care about selecting and configuring manually)

sudo tasksel install lamp-server

Since I wasn’t using any packaging tools I tried to make it through a terminal window. That wasn’t that easy as I thought so I thought I’d give some documentation about the steps. Most of if was found through “Google”, but some also by reading further into different documentation on each of the websites for each technology.

Installing Ubuntu 7.10 was easy. Inserted the CD booted my laptop answered a few questions and in 20 min I was running my Ubuntu 7.10 workstation. Even gave it a running on the software updates and it was all ready in a few minutes.

First you need to install Apache2 so in a terminal window you need to type

sudo apt-get install apache2

Now when Apache is installed you want to install PHP and other necessary libraries for Apache

sudo apt-get install php5

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

When PHP is installed you want to install MySQL and other necessary libraries so that PHP, Apache and MySQL integrates. Notice when you install you will be requested to create a password for user ‘root’. Please remember this password. It is needed later on.

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

sudo apt-get install mysql-client

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql

WordPress also supports URL-rewriting (a technique that enables friendly URLs instead of cryptic mypage.php?id=298)

sudo a2enmod rewrite

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

Change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Now when everything is installed you need to create a database and a database user for WordPress in order to complete the instructions on WordPress website. Notice that when you create a user (with the grant usage command) that you need to do this 3 times (once for localhost, once for IP for localhost and once for the hostname of your computer)

mysql -u root -p’YourpasswordFromInstall’(you are now logged in)

CREATE DATABASE wordpress; ‘wordpressuser’@'yourcomputername’;(you have now created users and given users privileges to wordpress database so you can now try to logon with newly created user)

grant usage on *.* to ‘wordpressuser’@'localhost’ identified by ‘wordpresspassword’;

grant usage on *.* to ‘wordpressuser’@’127.0.0.1′ identified by ‘wordpresspassword’;

grant usage on *.* to ‘wordpressuser’@'yourcomputername’ identified by ‘wordpresspassword’;

grant all privileges on wordpress.* to ‘wordpressuser’@'localhost’;

grant all privileges on wordpress.* to ‘wordpressuser’@’127.0.0.1′;

grant all privileges on wordpress.* to

exit;

mysql -u wordpressuser -p’wordpresspassword’ wordpress(if everything has gone alright, you should now be logged in)

Now your Ubuntu should be ready for the instructions given at WordPress own website

A tip is that the root for Apache is in folder /var/www and if you wish to use WordPress as a subdirectory you should copy wordpress directory to here.
