[2.x] Bad Installation ?

1 Nov 05, 2008 05:57    

My b2evolution Version: 2.x

I'm having some serious issues with my blog (first one I've done).

First of all, this is on a Windows server, and I have had some assistance from a very knowledgeable person here to get some of the issues that I noticed right away taken care of. However, what is currently happening is:

If I go to my blog to comment on a post, it asks me to comment instead of having me login. Once I click the "Send Comment" button, I receive a "Bad Request" and the URL it's looking for is /htsrv/comment_post.php
Not sure why this happens.

If I click the LOGIN button, and login as admin, I receive a "The login window has expired, please try again" error message. However, I CAN click "LOGIN INTO BACKOFFICE" fine. This may be normal since it's an ADMIN account that I am logging into?
Once logged in as ADMIN, the comment I attempted to leave in the 2nd paragraph above is there awaiting approval even though it took the user to a BAD REQUEST page. . . this is confusing to me.

Lastly, when I try to REGISTER as a new user, I enter my username, password, and email address. I go to the email address to retrieve the email that I get sent and can login. However, the same thing happens when trying to respond to a comment" "Bad Request".

If you have any idea what I am doing wrong, I'd sure like to learn this. I did not find the answers in the DOCS section here.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, I didn't find anything to fix it here.

Could it be that b2evolution just won't run on Windows?

I'm confused.

That is a highly speculative conclusion since b2evolution even performs (runs) on OS/2 ;)

Excerpt from b2evolution System Requirements:
Additionally, b2evolution will also install and run on the [url=http://www.metztli-it.com/blog/index.php/2008/06/02/os-2-warp-server-for-e-business-wseb-and?blog=4]OS/2 Warp Server for E-Business (WSEB)[/url] with the proper Apache2, MySQL, and PHP, stack in place.

I wasn't accusing -- just trying to find out why my installation won't run.
I don't know where to go with this any longer. I've read everything that appears relevent here on the DOCS tab but am finding nothing that could cause this.

Often (if not always) in everything in life (not just b2evo) you will become proficient by attempting (or doing a procedure) more than once.

Suggestion: wipe out this --your very first installation attempt-- and start over.

The file system layout in WinXX is very similar to that of the OS/2 (from which it branched out). Accordingly, you may get some insight if you read the b2evolution installation on the OS/2 --of course, if you are using the Apache web server and not IIS.
