Comment Trouble

[thornblog]

I have installed the latest version of pixelpost. Everything is great, but the comments are not working properly. People leave a comment, and it is added, but they get an error message. What am I missing? www.thornblog.com

Thanks.

you've changed something...

the comment form should be submitting to:
index.php?x=save_comment
yours is submitting to:
index.php?popup=comment&x=save_comment

[thornblog]

But even now, with a different template (simple) and the correct code, we get this when submitting a comment

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, support@supportwebsite.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

interesting.. it does seem to be saving the comments, just not displaying the confirmation page.. maybe a problem with your template?

[raminia]

I cannot see your photoblog. maybe 'cause my bad ISP

[thornblog]

Nope. It's not a template problem as far as I know. I have used several different templates.

** I am thinking it has something to do with the fact that I have my photoblog in a sub directory. "thornblog.com" is the domain name, but it just forwards you to the actual url: www.joethorn.net/thornblog **

Anyone have ideas?

try making the action of the form an absolute link?
so:
http://www.joethorn.net/thornblog/index.php?x=save_comment
?

I had this same problem. You activated the email notification on comments. Seems to be a bug with how it sends the email back to you.

I turned the email notification off and for some reason there were 2 yes in the option.

The script error read
malformed header from script. Bad header=/home/erikbarker/dead.letter..: php-script, referer: http://www.erikbarker.com/index.php?popup=comment&showimage=12

I am sure its a quick fix but I will have to look at it after I am done setting up my site.

Hope this helps

In PP 1.5 final there shouldnt be any problems with false comment notification as long as someone didnt change code on own hand or doesnt use some buggy addons/hacks.

This was strait out of the box download yesterday. I was using default template with no modifications what so ever. The only thing that caused this was saying yes to email comment notifications.

If you can present to us (developers) some part of http server logs to find out how spamers do that.
There shouldnt be any bug right now.
Are you sure that you have all files updated?
