Thanks Andy.

I got all excited a couple of weeks ago when I got an email from my
host telling me they were finally upgrading to PHP5 about a year after
I first asked.  I had a little time yesterday and this afternoon so
thought I'd play with Habari.  I knew there was a reason my host
sucked and why I'll be moving on (when I can be bothered).  I ran
phpinfo and right in the "Configure Command" section, very first
section of the very first line was this:

'./configure' '--disable-pdo'

No other mention of PDO in the file at all.  I guess that's me screwed
on this host.  As I have so many issues with speed, accessibility (to
cPanel and FTP) and now PDO, I just can't be bothered with them any
more.  Next time I have some free time I will not be playing with
Habari, but looking for a new host and moving all my blogs and sites.

Then I will play with Habari again!  I love the look of it and want to
know if the rumour that it's better than WP is true.

All the best for now.

Collin
