• Installed via CPAN Captcha::reCAPTCHA,HTML::Tiny
• ran update-db.pl -r --cluster=all
• Had to go in, and manually delete the table 'subs' (it was empty), and recreate the table from the update-db-general.pl file.
• ran update-db.pl -r --cluster=all again.
• wait wait wait for huge log2 table conversion
• ran update-db.pl -r --cluster=1 and --cluster=2 for good measure
• ./update-db.pl -p -r

At this point going to dj.dmz.vadept.com/~scsi forwards me to scsi.dj.dmz.vadept.com (whew) and displays my journal as expected. However when viewing comments I get the following error.

Turns out the error is due to using a 32 bit OS/Hardware for the test. I guess I'll have to move out of 2001 and spend the $20 for some new 64 bit hardware. :)
