Re: WhoAmI in PHP and getting Wordpress plugins to work without FTP

But does one need a server+DBMS for Wordpress?

It uses MySQL to store comments among many other things - 11 tables in all.

And when comparing IBM i to Microsoft SQL server, the DBMS costs are

comparable too.

Do you have references for this? I would like to evangelize them also, but
want to make sure I understand the data.

Obviously, no one needs the heavy iron of an IBM i just to run a web

server

with Wordpress installed. One could do it on a much cheaper server.

When we use terms like "heavy iron" to describe IBM i servers, people may
get a
very wrong impression. Particularly when "heavy iron" is accompanied by
"One

I know I'm pulling a quote out of context from a message that is otherwise
supportive of running Wordpress under IBM i, which I'm in favor of too, so
I
hope you'll forgive me, but I want to point out that Power servers in and
of
themselves cost about the same as comparably equipped Intel servers. In
other
words, the "iron" costs about the same.
