[SOLVED] Can't preview a comment

For whatever reason, txp is looking at localhost for a page. I don’t see where to tell it to look on the web server. I thought maybe it was the path_from_root row in the txp_prefs table, but changing that didn’t seem to do anything.

What happened? This, of course, worked on my laptop before I moved the site live, but my laptop IS localhost.

Hi craig

Did you change the host in the config.php? This textbook entry might help.

I did not, I left it localhost. I thought this was correct, since the db lives on localhost (relative to the site) and the rest of the site works fine. I haven’t got a hole punched through the firewall for mysql (3306?) but I guess I can do that if I need to. Seems odd though that I’d have to do this.

The only thing fishy I see is the doc_root line of config.php. I don’t have such line, but I didn’t on my local txp install either

The lines you probably have to change in config.php are:

$txpcfg['db'] = 'database name';
$txpcfg['user'] = 'database user';
$txpcfg['pass'] = 'database password';
$txpcfg['txpath'] = '/path/to/textpattern';

And in Admin > preferences the URL of your site.

The doc_root line was removed from config.php a long time ago. $txpcfg['host'] is localhost nearly everywhere.

Hrmmm… Still no go. I changed the path from /home/me/txp-install/ to /var/www/html/txp-install/

I’ve left comments up, so you can see what happens if you go to the site. Looking at the source, I see the form target as:

<form id=“txpCommentInputForm” method=“post” action=”/manufacturers/semi-custom-kitchen-cabinets#cpreview”>

I looked at a fresh install on my laptop, and have the same sort of action path.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't preview a comment

I had a line in my head form that went a little something like:

<base href=“http://localhost/textpattern-4.2.0/” />

Lo and behold, commenting that out fixes my issue. It was something leftover from when my site was a regular homebrew php site, and I had it in there for helping out with mod_rewrite.

Thanks all for the help. Hopefully my knuckleheaded mistake helps someone else.
