Check your base url. Make sure it's set to be the right server. Re-run the install script and select change your base settings.

you da man...
it had thrown www in front of my url in the install that I hadnt seen - probably a php call that does that....
thank you

hi again
I have moved up a step since last and am fully enjoying this blog engine.

When I link - go to blogs- from admin area I end up on a nonexisting page.
The adress in the url ends without / - but if I add that slash to the end of the url - I am fine.

I have learned elsewhere that using $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] instead of $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] might bring up these kinds of problems....could that be the case here ?

It all depends on what webserver you are running. And it's good if you keep different problems to different threads, so the forums are more useful to other users.
