Comments Not Working

[ramone_kalsaw]

When I click on the comment link for an entry in my blog to see if its working, I keep winding up back at the MT Main Menu.

 

Is there a setting I need to adjust?

 

Thanks!

I'm confused as to what exactly is happening? You're logging in to mt.cgi. Click on a comment in the 'last 5 comments' and end up back at the main screen?

 

Usually that happens for 1 of 2 reasons... the path in mt.cfg doesn't match the url (you used a www in one and not the other, or different cases, etc) or you have a corrupt cookie.

 

Does that help at all?

Actually, after getting a night's sleep, it turns out that my problem is actually that I'm not able to send comments. I'm still in the setup/testing phase of blog development and I'm putting in "placeholder entries" to test functionality. When I create an entry, I then try to comment and that's when it sends me back to the MT main menu.

 

Configuration Items:

 

-- In mt.cgi my url is listed as: CGIPath http://www.biom.net/mt/mt.cgi

-- In my weblog configuration my site url is: http://www.biom.net/dojo/

 

 

Also: how do I refresh the cookie in case it's corrupted?

 

THANKS for your help LISA!

I see, can you post the comments section of your template? You may first wish to try replacing it with the comments stuff from the default templates (you can find at movabletype.org) as that is probably where the error is occurring.

 

If you post the comments part of the template, please make sure you click code before and after, or we won't be able to see it. =)

 

I don't think it's the cookiek fyi; as I've never been to your site and it's happening to me. But youd' just go, in IE, to tools, Internet Options, Delete Files.. =) no need to though.
