Does your theme’s index.php have the comments_template() function called in it (you don’t appear to have a single.php)? It should look like this:
<?php comments_template(); ?>
If you need it, some info on setting it up *correctly* in the template can be found in this thread:

When I was a technical support manager I used to tell my staff that there are no stupid questions. However, stupid answers are legion.
What a helpful topic title. I knew exactly what to suggest when I read “I feel mildly retarded”.
I’d suggest visiting http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_the_Support_Forums and checking out the “Getting Your Questions Answered on the Forum” section.
Good one, NuclearMoose–though I feel a tad sorry for poor Matt.
What we’re trying to say is don’t tell us how you feel in your post title. Describe your problem. That allows a reader to decide whether to open your post & whether he/she can help you.
I apologize for the wrong topic title. After two hours of trying everything I could think of or find on the forums I was a bit exasperated. I’d edit the post title if that was possible.
I’d like to thank NuclearMoose for his witty, yet helpful remark.
Anyways, I don’t think it’s a matter so much of the theme, because the problem exists no matter which theme I have assigned. Even Classic and Kubrick do the exact same thing. Just to be sure though, I double checked to make sure it does have the proper commenting code in theme I’m currently using, which it does. This is a bit puzzling.
That’s pretty odd behavior. It’s almost as if you don’t have a comments page available. Have you messed with your permalink structure?
I haven’t touched it… I even overwrote all of the wordpress files I have on the server, with a fresh download.
could this possibly be a result of using PHP5?
Doublecheck permissions on everything 🙂
could this possibly be a result of using PHP5?
I really don’t think so. It looks to be more of a structure problem because your permalinks aren’t working either.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
Matt you’ve only got two posts, and as bad as I hate this you might want to try a re-install. Did you use Fantasico the first time? Because they have had some issues lately.
Ah it’s not a big deal to do a reinstall, I don’t use a web panel, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
Thanks for the help though.
I dropped the DB, and deleted all of the files, and that seemed to do it…
Thanks again.
