Throughout the 1990s, the government, as part of its reconstruction program, devoted ever-increasing amounts of funding to the social and health sectors, which brought corresponding improvements in school enrollments, adult literacy, and infant mortality rates. These expenditures stagnated or declined during the 1998–2000 war with Eritrea, but in the years since, outlays for health have grown steadily. In 2000–2001, the budget allocation for the health sector was approximately US$144 million; health expenditures per capita were estimated at US$4.50, compared with US$10 on average in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2000 the country counted one hospital bed per 4,900 population and more than 27,000 people per primary health care facility. The physician to population ratio was 1:48,000, the nurse to population ratio, 1:12,000. Overall, there were 20 trained health providers per 100,000 inhabitants. These ratios have since shown some improvement. Health care is disproportionately available in urban centers; in rural areas where the vast majority of the population resides, access to health care varies from limited to nonexistent. As of the end of 2003, the United Nations (UN) reported that 4.4 percent of adults were infected with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS); other estimates of the rate of infection ranged from a low of 7 percent to a high of 18 percent. Whatever the actual rate, the prevalence of HIV/AIDS has contributed to falling life expectancy since the early 1990s. According to the Ministry of Health, one-third of current young adult deaths are AIDS-related. Malnutrition is widespread, especially among children, as is food insecurity. Because of growing population pressure on agricultural and pastoral land, soil degradation, and severe droughts that have occurred each decade since the 1970s, per capita food production is declining. According to the UN and the World Bank, Ethiopia at present suffers from a structural food deficit such that even in the most productive years, at least 5 million Ethiopians require food relief.[15]
 
In 2002 the government embarked on a poverty reduction program that called for outlays in education, health, sanitation, and water. A polio vaccination campaign for 14 million children has been carried out, and a program to resettle some 2 million subsistence farmers is underway. In November 2004, the government launched a five-year program to expand primary health care. In January 2005, it began distributing antiretroviral drugs, hoping to reach up to 30,000 HIV-infected adults.[15]

'''Problem'''
I tried to write a php and connect to mysql in it but I got an error:
 
Fatal Error: undefined function mysql_connect()
 
'''Solution'''
 
[http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum88/5216.htm This page] suggested that mysql isn't enabled by dafault in php5. I installed php5-mysql and restarted apache2 (don't know if that was necessary) and now it works.
 
----
'''Problem'''
I restarted my computer because I couldn't start gimp unless I was root. Clint told me that I should sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart , which basically restarted my whole computer. Since then, I couldn't use mysql because I kept getting this error:
 
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
 
'''Solution'''
 
I followed [http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,42525,46765#msg-46765 this] and restarted mysql by:
 
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
 
But it fails. It seems like I touched my.cnf and didn't restart mysql, so when my computer restarted, it incorporated the changes I made in my.cnf and mysql stopped working. I reinstalled mysql-server through apt-get, restarted mysql and now it's fine.

'''Problem'''
I have a bunch of text files from USDA, which contain bits and pieces USDA ASCII databases. I want to put them into mysql.
 
'''Solution'''
 
1. I found schema.sql that Erik created, so I'm going to borrow it rather than creating my own.
 
mysql databasename < schema.sql -p
 
 
'''Problem:'''
 
mysql> create database newdatabase;
 
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost'...
 
'''Solution:'''
 
[http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/creating-database.html mysql]
 
1. Check grants for 'user'@'localhost' in mysql:
 
mysql> show grants for 'user'@'localhost';
 
2. Log into mysql as root (has all privileges) and change grants for a specific user:
 
mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to 'user'@'localhost';
 
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
 
3. Log back into mysql as user (now has all privileges) and try creating a new database again.

It worked mostly ok but I couldn't go further than the second to the last coding box on page 4. I kept getting long error messages.
 
'''Solution:'''
 
[http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial02/ Django tutorial about django.contrib.admin]
 
1. Check if I typed in the correct codes.
 
2. Check if the output are the same everwhere:
 
Although the codes were correct, they didn't create all the necessary things, so it couldn't find the index.html.
 
* I went to setting.py to specify:
** the absolute path for Template_Dir. Don't forget the , after '/path/' .
** two additional Installed_Apps: myprj_myapp (where I save my project) and django.contrib.admin . Run python manage.py syncdb afterwards.
 
This created myapp_post and django_admin_log in mysql database.
