Blast From The Past: January 7, 2020

Tue Jan 7 19:39:37 MST 2020 Let’s talk about today than shall we? I’d like to think it would be a nice moment in time if we could simply get along with everything that happens in this life, yet I doubt it will. It’s a shame if you think about it. A real shame. But what are you going to do with any of it? No one knows exactly. So here we sit waiting for something better to come along, hoping for something to happen and allowing us to actually see what is real and what isn’t.

MySQL and Apache

Wow... so I was having issues installing WordPress on my local testing machine. Ran across an error saying that MySQL wasn't setup correctly and that WordPress needed it. Took me a while but I did eventually find a solution on a message board. Here they be:

These were the steps which I followed to install Wordpress without it resulting in that nasty error message.

  1. Install Apache

  2. Install My-SQL. Note: in Wordpress' installation instructions this step comes after PHP installation. However, I read somewhere someone suggesting to install PHP after My-SQL. Don't know if this was the determining factor, but it was the way I took.

  3. Install PHP. Here is were I think you'll make it or break it. When installing PHP,


    1. be sure to point to Apache's conf directory when asked where its configuration directory resides, don't just point to Apache's install directory,

    2. when asked which items to install, navigate down into Extensions and select MySQL and MySQLi. By default, these won't be installed.


  4. Copy wordpress directory contents into Apache's htdocs directory (just my choice, but there are ofcourse other variations which will work).

  5. Restart Apache.

  6. navigate to http://localhost/wp-admin/install.php This time it should work.

So yeah... that's how it all works... or something like that. lol All in all, it worked out, and now I was able to install WordPress on my localhost without problem. And there you have it.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...
