# Search/Comments Problem

 * I installed WP a couple of days ago. I’m running it under XP Home, with Apache
   2.0.47 and php 4.3.2. The system installed fine, and I can post and change settings.
   But, when I try to add a comment I get the following error:
    You don’t have permission
   to access /”/” on this server. And this is what shows up in the Apache access
   log: 64.180.145.232 – – [19/Oct/2003:01:51:09 -0700] “POST /\”/\” HTTP/1.1″ 403
   302 I get exactly the same result when I try to search. Any ideas? Thanks, Paul

 * I have a similar problem with comments on [my blog](http://cortesi.com/blog/).
   they are in italian and they use characters with accents like àèìòù.
    well, if
   I add a post from the public area of the blog, they get encoded not the right
   way which is & egrave ; and so on, but they get encoded as error chars like if
   they were encoded from another charset into ASCII, just like the example you 
   show above. But, if I add a comment from within the admin area, they get encoded
   correctly.

 * I figured out what was wrong with mine. I’m only using ASCII characters, so the
   problem source is probably different, but perhaps this will give you a clue to
   solve it. The issue for me was this: I have a form that I include from another
   file in the blog page, but the form tags for that form (which appears in the 
   page before the search/comments forms) were not closed. I guess they were interfering
   with each other. It works fine now.
