Welcome to the second incarnation of this garden blog. After taking a month-long break from the installation nightmare that is WordPress, PHP and MySQL, PirklePet’s Garden is finally up and running.

A few words about the configuration that proved acceptable to this WordPress installation. This site is hosted on a local server currently running Windows XP Professional with SP2 on IIS 5.1 (sorry, no Apache). PirklePet’s Garden runs on PHP version 5.1.2 and MySQL version 5.0.22 CE. WordPress version is 2.0.2. I will supply a detailed install order in a later post.

Let’s hope this second incarnation is both functional and stable…and worth the wait!
