I wish I could, actually - but it's behind a company firewall, so you couldn't get to it even if I did

So I"m at a loss...would it help if I sent you the php.ini? can you suggest where else I might look?

Thanks for your help!

SO, I've had them change the session data path and the permissions, and the doc_root, and a number of configuration items that make it just like my personal machine's configuration.

It still does not work properly. I'm at a loss.

I've also installed phpbb and phpmyadmin to see how they work (i ...

Thanks! and I'll keep you posted...

Garvin:

Thank you so much for your help and persistence.

As I received your reply, I thought to test this myself.

I had been using a Windows/XP server to test an internal blog in my office.

I decided to test this on my Mac (10.4.6, Apache 1.3.33, MySQL 4.1.10a, PHP 5.0.3) at home.

It worked ...

Garvin:

So it looks like we've found the problem, but now I can't quite get the solution.

You suggested that if I log in WITHOUT 'remember me' checked, and get logged out on subsequent page calls, it points to a session problem.

I tried it, and that exact thing happened.

I checked the php.ini ...

Garvin:

Thank you again.

I tried the 'noautodsicovery' and it made no difference. My server admin is not in yet, but I'll post anything I find in the logs.

I noticed also when I tried a few other things (create a category, delete a plug-in, etc.) I get this error:

Your browser did not sent a ...

Garvin:

Thanks for the prompt response.

I just installed Firefox and tried again - same result (each time I also used PHPmyAdmin to look at the entries table which has 0 rows).

I did not install anything other than what came in the download package. I simply unzipped the package and dropped it ...

Hi Garvin:

My apologies - in my haste yesterday I neglected even the msot basic information to help diagnose this. To correct that:

You asked:
jweinberger: Does an entry also not appear if you just enter "test" as your entry text?

No it does not work in that case - I tried again just now to be ...

Hi:

I am having the same problem - it says "saving you entry..." but the entry never seems to appear.

This is a brand new installation "out of the box" with no modifications

ANy ideas on how to get past this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Thank you very much for your help!!

Garvin:

thank you for your patience and help!

Once the database is created, is there anything else I need to create or have in place (tables, other users, whatever...) for s9y to work?

If this is documented somewhere that I've missed, please just point me there...

Thanks!

Hi:

Thank you for that - I did set a password and then entered it, and it worked fine.

now it tells me that the database does not exist. I would have thought it would create it on the first try.

Which raises the question - what exactly do I have to have in place for this to work?

Do I need to ...

Hi:
I get the following when I try a "simple install" to create a test blog.

Could not connect to database; check your settings.
The mySQL error was: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

I am using a valid mySQL user name, which has no password, and I leave the password ...
