Posting entry redirects me to root of my website.

Hi there...

I have been running s9y for a whilw now, but recently moved to a shared install. Now for some strange reason, whenever I try and post an entry with an image or an embedded tag in it, I get redirected to the root of my web site. I am using the standard WYSIWYG editor but I have tried (unsuccessfully) running TinyMCE in the past. I have since reinstalled s9y from scratch and migrated my database so i'm pretty sure it is not TinyMCE related...

Any ideas?

Thanks, Jules

Hi!

By using the shared install, how did you symlink your files? Do you have the serendipity_editor.js file in your shared vhost directory?

ahhhh....

when i say shared, I may not be using the term in the way you mean. there are no vhosts. I have 1 true s9y install directory under /s9y/ and copies of the deployment dir under /username/ folders...

you could be bang on the money with the symlinks though, because I have no way of creating these and had forgetten (until now) that the documentation I read said I needed them.

I havn't found a way to do this on the cpanel hosting I use.

but ok, on checking under my /username folders i do have a serendipity_editor.js file...

I can post ok if i just type text... it only breaks when i add a picture or embed an offsite control such as youtube.com

I am gonna go check through the docs again to see i have done everything right, so thanks for the pointer G...

ok... i checked....

I had followed http://www.s9y.org/41.html but without the extra server stuff i didn't need. I used the copy method for the directories, rather than links!

Additional info :-

It is *NOT* just the WYSIWYG editor as I thought... adding HTML in the standard non-WYSIWYG editor has the same problem.

Hi!

Hm, I don't really understand the poroblem, I think. Can you make a screenshot or show a URL of how it looks with the "problem"?

sorry but screenshots are not going to help....

I do have more info though!!!

I have now figured it happens even if you just use BOLD or ITALICS tags... let me explain...

if i start a new entry,

http://mysite.com/username/serendipity_ ... ction]=new

if there is *ANY* tags in it and i hit "PREVIEW" or "SAVE" it sends me straight back to :-

http://mysite.com/

So now I can only think it must be a markup issue?

Hi!

Please, either show your URL or screenshots. I can't help you otherwise.

What I'm currently thinking is that your server might have "mod_Security" enabled which blocks you out of HTML characters. Talk to your server provider, please.
