Not even sure where to begin! I just did a clean install of 2.1.3 build 20101220 and comments are not working.

Submit takes you back to the home page (main url) and nothing is ever posted. I even tried using the bare bones tags to make sure i didn’t have any errors. still nothing.

Where do i begin?! Thanks!

Hi, mklaman.

Let’s get a bit more information from you:

Can you tell us which version/build of EE2.x you’re using? See EEWiki:// HowTo Determine My EE Version

Is this a local install or installed on a professionally managed server?

Is the form showing up as you expect, but the content just doesn’t get saved? Are you doing any sort of comment moderation? Is it you adding the comment, or a user of the site?

sue, the version and build are in the original post. it is on a media temple (gs) server. form does display but the comment just never saves. i tried w/ both comment moderation on and off (currently off). and i am a super user trying to post. i tried w/ the main admin and a second super user.

btw, i tried uninstalling and re-installing the comment module to no avail.

thanks,
klaman

klaman,

Can your share your template code with us please?
Are you nesting any comment form tags within your channel entries tag?
Are you using a htaccess to remove index.php? If you do try disabling it and reinstating index.php in your General Configuration

Also try adding the channel= and url_title=”{segment_3}” parameters to your comment for, to see if that makes a difference.

Using {Segment_3} here presumes you have a typical single entry template

john,

looks as if the remove index.php method i am using is causing problems…
i am using the code below taken from here:
http://kevinthompson.info/blog/completely-remove-index-php-from-expressionengine-urls/

any ideas what is causing the problem?
thanks!

Hi, mklaman. Unfortunately we can’t assist in troubleshooting .htaccess issues when it comes to removing index.php. Moving this to the CodeShare Corner for additional community support.

just wanted to make sure i cleared this up.

it was not kevin thompson’s .htaccess that was the problem. i simply wasn’t manually adding the url_title=”{segment_3}”

fixed!
