SQL, htaccess, and Yahoo Hell
I have been debating changing my internet service from DSL to cable but I really enjoy being able to surf the net when the cable goes down and hence there is no television to mindlessly pass the time. I decided not to change right now even though my service has been changed so many times I can not remember them all. From SBC Global to yahoo to att the list is long through the years.
.
My personal opinion is that since Yahoo got involved my service sucks. I was forced to move my website from geocities to yahoo’s web hosting and I can tell you what a rip.
.
I have just spent way to much time in the past weeks trying to figure out why different WordPress themes had bad behavior across browsers. Then my feeds started going wonky. I did the well known hunt for white spaces in all the php files only to conclude the problem must be with the htaccess file. Ok, well when I was with geocities although there was no access to the file I had a work around where I would just upload my own and for whatever reason it worked. Yahoo web hosting has no means for me to edit the file. Upload a new one etc. So, when it is biffed your toast.
.
I know I need to change web hosting service because – really – hello – I understand Yahoo’s take on security but not allowing me to edit my htaccess file is – well really sucko. Especially when my blog is broke and I can’t fix it. So those of you still using Internet Explorer are just gonna have to deal with a broken looking theme for awhile.
.
I have unsuccessfully exported my database and tried to import it on another host use but for whatever reason the import fails because the database has duplicate entries. AUGH! Once this glitch is figured out I plan on moving my kmilyun.com to another host. I have never done this so it might just be really interesting LOL.
.
I am betting that yahoo will throw in some wrenches. I know it is them LOL cause when I export and import other databases on the other host it works like a charm. I just moved my photoblog database to a new database with a different name and woo hoo it all worked out. On yahoo I can not even get the stupid php admin to work right. Every time I access it I have to reinstall it! And please Oh please don’t suggest I communicate with the help desks at Yahoo – that is akin to a nightmare on blog street.

Well more laters . …
