But when I go to log in for the first time – the page just refreshes. I used phpMyAdmin and found the Sha1 password and then went to a text to Sha1 converted and it’s still my original password. The data base is MySQL 5.0.45 and I had askd for php5 to be turned on I tried setting pdo to false and got DB Connection failed: could not find driver so I assume we have pdo. Also if I go to view the site – it appears like everything installed okay with the “Frog content management simplified” page. I saw one other post about this but there was no fix. Any ideas? I know there is a great website right through that logiin window. how do i get there? Thanks in advance for your help

It is compiled and used as a CGI, not as a binary like on most other servers. PHP does function as it should, without allowing system calls. We successfully use standard (and sometimes odd) installations of things like Wordpress, Drupal, and Joomla. Anything that requires system modifications will not work as those are not permitted on these servers. This is a distributed system, so you are not actually working on an individual box. All the servers have the exact same installation of all software. There is a pool of servers that handles just CGI/PHP requests, a pool that handles just HTML requests, a pool for mysql, and a pool for email. This is why system-level modifications cannot be done. Clicking from one page to another could be using different servers to parse the information.”
