    Chris King - 2002-07-17

    I have installed wiki on a Claranet hosted site. I have created a 'phpwiki' database and made the relevant changes in index.php. When I access the wiki for the first time, all the pages are copied to the database. The hits in the "Most popular" page are updated, but I get nowhere when I try to log in, or edit a page.

    The initial inserts of the pages and the updates of the hit counters suggests that I have got the correct database permissions, but when I try to edit, it fails.

    I get the edit page up fine. I can make edit, but whenever I click 'preview' or 'save' or try and log in, I stay in edit mode, but all my changes are lost.

    I get no obvious error messages either.

    Can anyone suggest anything?

    regards

    Chris

      Hi Chris,

      I have the exact same problem as you. I thought, maybe if I added in a request for somebody's help here, it might be easier to make some fuzz about this.

      Can anybody help?

        Hmm, it seems I have helped myself out of this by trying and fiddling and hacking around with things.

        I found that the Wiki was "working correctly" (I could browse it with no problem) when I set the SCRIPT_NAME variable in index.php to /test/phpwiki.

        I tried changing that variable to /test/phpwiki/index.php aka The Script Name (Halllooooo??!?!) instead of the previous and now it works the way it is intended!!!

        I hope somebody can use my little anecdote in their own progress.
