[Xerte] XOT install - down the rabbit hole

I would assume IIS would should
handle posting back to self?
It does, but it doesn't accept a directory ( "/" ) as a valid URL for a POST operation.When index.php is set as the default dir page, the URL is reported as the directory itself.

pop that request when it wanted to set the session cookie. So, no cookie, no
session info,

domain to accept cookies, all good.

Toolkits doesn’t use any cookies, the
session info should be stored on the server?
In FF, I've got a PHPSESSIONID showing in the cookies directory.All I know is when I set "Accept cookies" on that domain, it started working.Pure deduction, I admit. ;-)

Flash_upload_path is set in the site
variables and is usually “upload.php?path=”

This upload file usually lives in 

Modules/Xerte/engine and constructs the
upload address from the root path, then the page sought, which is constructed
from the $_server variable, so I would guess your $_server variable isn’t
right.


I'll take a peek.
