Unable to create pages or posts (4 posts)

    I am unable to create posts or pages in WordPress. I am able to reach the page to create a post/page, but when I click 'Publish,' it brings be back to the listing of posts/pages and does not display the 'Page published. View page' text. I know that the database connectivity is fine because the user accessing the database is a mysql 'root'.

    My machine is running:
    Apache 2.2.11
    PHP 5.2.10 VC6
    MySQL 5.1.36
    Windows Server 2008 Standard

    My WordPress install is also running the following plugins:
    Akismet
    IImage Gallery
    NextGEN Gallery
    StatsPress CN

    If this problem could be solved, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I don't think it is directly related, but you will usually have a much easier time running Open Source PHP/MySQL apps like WordPress on a Linux server, rather than a Windows one.

    My first suggestion would be to disable all of your plugins, and then try to create a Post or Page, just to confirm that the problem lay with the core WordPress files, and not one of your plugins.

    If the problem persists, I would suggest making a full backup of your database and files, and then reinstalling WordPress.

    Alright, that's what I was afraid I'd have to do. Thanks!

    It's not a sure solution. But many times reinstalling WordPress will fix your problem.

    And since it only takes a few minutes to reinstall it is ussually less trouble to do a full reinstall rather than spend time looking for the specific problem. Good luck!
