[Xerte] XOT install - down the rabbit hole

[Patrick Lockley]

But the directory is left empty for the post ( action="" )

 

It will set a session ID, definitely, but it does nothing with Cookies. 

 

Neil W, if you read this, does this solve your problem?

 

I would add a print_r($_SERVER) into that file and track it in fiddler

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.

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.
