Last night i installed vanilla forum the latest version(2.0.16), but before that i got into trouble like ‘cannot install vanilla forum because the database host provided is wrong’ some thing like that type of error. Which was basically by .htaccess file. I finally installed it but after some time figuring out the mod_rewrite ghost. Actually it’s quite easy to enable it, there was one thing missing, which took some of my time to figure it out. Lets start how to enable the ghost.

Personally i think, that Linux terminal is the strongest application/tool whatever you name it. Yesterday i was restoring a MySQL database size of 5MB via MySQL Administrator application, and it crashed several times.
