I don't mean to reveal my ignorance, but... :oops:

Can someone either explain or direct me to where I can find basic, but definitive info about the following:

PHP
telnet
mysql
CGI

I just ask, because I'm trying to set up a gallery for the website I maintain/design. (www.careforcows.org/gallery) and it looks like the server is running in safe mode. I tried to instal the gallery via FTP, but it looks like I'll have to install it some other way.
Sorry if this is the wrong info for this particular forum. I'm new to the forums as well.
Anyway, thanks for any info.

- Neil

Looks like you have installed gallery correctly, but you are right, safe mode is enabled. http://www.careforcows.org/gallery/setup/phpinfo.php

You can't run gallery on your site.

You could try FAQ B.3, if you are feeling adventurous - but you have a steep learning curve if you go that way.

[defns
PHP - a scripting language that can be embedded with HTML files
telnet - a program that allows you to connect to a remote computer, and run commands
mysql - a very popular, free, relational database
CGI - programs that take input from a web page, and (usually) output a web page.
