.NET was WhoAmI in PHP and getting Wordpress

Aaron

I run my company on two main machines, an IBM iSeries and an IBM xSeries (I
don't consider that is opting for everything under the sun?) and since I
have invested in them I decided to use both of them to their full potential.
The i is an excellent business machine and the xSeries server sits nicely in
the DMZ doing all of the 24/7 web related tasks (in my case I use .NET but
that is not compulsory). This seems a pretty straightforward and cost
effective solution to me, or would you have me throw out the xSeries?.

I am perfectly happy running .NET and have absolutely nothing against other
platforms or frameworks. It is nice to explore two worlds rather than just
the one you know and it would be nice to allow .NET to be mentioned in this
group without attracting barracking and other forms of insult?

It is a serious proposition and should be acknowledged as such.

I guess my filter isn't working.

The reason I don't like to debate with you is because you can't stop
drinking your Microsoft KoolAid long enough to realize that not everything
needs to have .NET involved. Many times when people post you start giving
them Microsoft answers and this isn't a Microsoft forum - WEB400. If people
want Microsoft solutions they can find them elseware.

It is always best to utilize the servers you have invested in vs. adopt
everything under the sun. It should be a last resort to move a portion of
server processing off IBM i - you seem content on it being a first resort.
You and ASNA** can go and drink your KoolAid.

I have nothing against Wordpress. I should have clarified my point by
saying 'Why run it on an i' or at least predict the Board of Directors
reaction to the proposition?

Since Aaron has 'extinguished me' from further communication, and is
not listening, I would point out that the comment was mainly aimed at
him and his attempts! (thankfully he will not reply)

I agree with your point that Wordpress can have commercial benefits.

We may soon get some commercial value out of WordPress.

Our company has a nice newsletter that gets mailed to several thousand
employees each month. The newsletter is professionally printed on
glossy paper with color graphics. We are looking at installing
WordPress to distribute the newsletter as an online publication.
WordPress can be used to make professional-looking online
publications.

Although we might still mail printed copies to employees who prefer to
receive it that way, it would save us money (publishing and mailing
costs) to get as many employees as possible to read the newsletter
online via WordPress.

And the commercial benefits are?








Hi all,

I was able to get WordPress up and running on my IBM i with relative
ease and now I want to install additional plugins. The issue is that
if the user profile used by the currently running script doesn't have
access to the folder where the plugin is going to be installed, then
it will prompt you for FTP login information.

Here is an article that talks about the issue:

http://hecode.com/why-wordpress-asks-for-connection-info-when-i-try-to
-insta
ll-new-plugin/

In the article then recommend creating a simple php script with the
following:

echo exec('whoami');

I did that, and it is executing successfully (no ZendServer error logs
or
warnings) but it returns blanks, so that doesn't help. I have even
gone as far as giving *PUBLIC all authority to the entire directory
structure with the following command (running V6R1):


CHGAUT OBJ('/www/zendsvr') USER(*PUBLIC) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)
SUBTREE(*ALL)


Still no go.

Anybody else resolve this?
