THe WP page I linked actually had a zone alarm fix but it didn't work either, that is why I came here. Hoping someone else had the problem and had been able to fix it.

I've installed WP several times on my on computer, both manually and with Fantastico, and have never had this problem either. But apparently it is common since there were a lot of replies on the WP thread about the fix for it. It seems that it is a 2.0 problem. I did have my friend disable Zone Alarm and while it works when he does that, I was hoping to find a fix that didn't put him at risk. The subdomain was created before the install of WP. And yeah, the URL used to login is the one like that up above except that it says wp-login instead of login. As I said he can login just fine, it's just when he tries to post that he gets the "referrers" message. Thanks for your help!

I've set up a subdomain on my account for a friend of mine for his blog. I installed WP through fantastico and tested the logon on my own machine. Everything worked fine. But when he tried to change things in his options panel he got the message: Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers for this feature to work. After doing some research I found an article from WP about how to fix the problem. I had him try the IE fix and the Zone Alarm fix. Neither of those worked. So then I tried the changing the subdomain url fix. That one worked for him to change the options of his blog, but then he tried to post an entry and he got the error message again! Argh. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I fix it?

Found it! Thanks! 102

How do I figure out which server I am on?

It's fixed now! Once again TCH saves the day! Thanks so much Bruce. Sorry for being such a dimwit!

I am a total idiot! Seriously! I never noticed the other templates there. Somedays I think I am too stupid to be allowed internet access.

I don't have either of those. Maybe they are reorganized in the new version. This is MT 3.17. But thanks anyway, for trying to help!

Hmm..not sure which one you mean. These are the templates I have to chose from: Atom Index Dynamic Site Bootstrapper Main Index Master Archive Index RSD RSS 1.0 Index RSS 2.0 Index Stylesheet I've checked all of them.

I had deleted the words between the h1 tags on both the main index template and the archive template. But don't see where else it should be deleted from.

I don't know really how to explain my problem, let's blame it being nearly 1am and on me having sat at my computer for more than 14 hours today, but the title/header text thing keeps showing up on every page but the main page. I put in my own header (a .gif file) so I don't want the auto text there. I thought I fixed it in the templates, but it shows up every time I click on a past entry. For instance: it looks fine here on the main page - http://blog.darkgraysheep.com/ But click on any other page, even the comments page and in big white letter's at the top of the page sits my blog title. I've republished the indexes, I've refreshed my browser, I don't know what else to do. Any ideas would be very much appreciated! Thanks

Thanks both of you!

Thanks to David I got my blog up and running last week, now I have another question. I want to have a webcam, but I have no idea how much bandwith I would be using. I don't want to go over my limit. I have the silver account. So is there any way to calculate how much bandwidth a webcam might take up per hour? Thanks in advance!

Testing everything out, but I think it is working! YES!

AHA!! Light bulb moment. Thanks! It works! Testing it out now to make sure everything is fully functional...but I think that did it!

You are right...I am still having problems...but at least now I am getting an actual Movable Type page, whereas before I was getting a plain text page. So that is an improvement. Yes, I do have the cgipath set up like that in the mt.cfg file. # Movable Type uses the CGIPath setting to construct links back to # CGI scripts; for example, the MT tag <$MTCGIPath$> is substituted # with the value of the CGIPath setting. You will need to change this # value when you first install MT; instructions for doing so are in # the Installation Instructions, in INSTALLING THE MOVABLE TYPE # APPLICATION CODE, Step 3. http://www.darkgraysheep.com/mt/ So shouldn't it say mt in the Core Setup instead of blog? But when I change it I get an error page.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU!! I believe this did it. You are the MAN! My hairs that haven't turned gray or been pulled out yet, thank you as well.

I think so. This is from the tutorial and this is what I did: 4. From cPanel, access File Manager, click to select the tar.gz file, then select Extract File Contents 5. Rename the created directory (something like MT-version#) to mt/ on your web site So the folder that everything is in is called "mt". Is that what you mean?

Okay, I have done this now. I checked the to make sure there was no #, but I am not sure about reuploading. And here is where my lack of experience will shine, but when I go to the cpanel-file manager and click upload, it of course directs me to my own hard drive, but the altered mt.cfg file is on the file manager, not my harddrive. If I were to upload it, wouldn't it rewrite the one I configured using the tutorial? When I click rebuild nothing at all happens. No screen comes up, it's like it's a dead button. And when I did the test posts I did change them from draft to publish. So that isn't the problem. Thanks for your help! As I said, it is probably something obvious. Some tiny detail that I am not catching.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I've been trying the suggestions, but haven't gotten it to work yet. So I am heading to bed and will try with a fresh brain in the morning. Thanks again.

First I have to heap loads of praise on the TCH team for such a great board. I have been spending all day trying to install MT for the first time, with the help of the excellent tutorial from TCH and while I ran into a few hiccups (my own stupidity) I was able to find a solution to every problem by searching the archives here. But now I am at a standstill. Not sure if it is the late hour (after 12am here in Sweden) or if the answer just isn't in the archives, but I am not finding it. Here is my problem, the best I can explain it. Keep in mind I am a total newbie to everything involved in having a website of my own. Before today I could ftp and design basic pages, but that was it. I've gotten through the installation process and to the screen where you login with melody/nelson. But that's where it goes off in a handbasket. I've been a bit confused with the core setup and have tried many different combinations after reading the archives here. But things still don't work. Here is what I have right now: Local Site Path: /home/mycpanelname/public_html/blog Site URL: http://www.darkgraysheep.com/blog/ Local Archive Path:/home/mycpanelname/public_html/archives Archive URL: http://www.darkgraysheep.com/archives/ Btw, the cpanelname is the login I got in my welcome email right? It's a bunch of random letters. From what I understand, after I save changes, I am supposed to click "rebuild site" but when I do, nothing happens. So then I go to view site and I get the cgi-bin directory page. But have also gotten this message with other combinations used: You cannot view the contents of this directory. If you are installing Movable Type for the first time, look at the Installation Instructions. But the biggest problem is that I keep getting the 404 Error message at random it seems. And it happens with almost anything I click on, even "Main Menu" and "logout". Yet I have been able to do 4 test entries and I can't figure out how and I can't view them, only edit them. Here is the exact error message if it helps: Not Found The requested URL /cgi-bin/mt.cgi was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.darkgraysheep.com Port 80 The only other thing I can think to add to help solve this mystery is the address I used in the mt.cfg file: http://www.darkgraysheep.com/mt/ I have been sitting here for hours trying different things, and I should go to bed, but I refuse to give up. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I know it is probalby something simple, and is probably right in front of my nose, but for now my brain has frozen up! Thanks in advance.
