Update:

At home, I’ve checked my MYSQL/PHP settings, deleted the database and WordPress files, created a new database and WordPress install with the exact same problem.

When I make a new post it shows as a draft after I click ‘publish’. Then in the list of posts when I click on the post title or the ‘edit’ link, nothing happens.

Things I’ve tried:
1. When I first install WordPress, properly filling out the administrator profile, including reassigning the admin role to the user.
2. Using advice from posts I’ve found on these forums, commented out the line wp_enqueue_script('autosave'); in both the wp-admin/page-new.php and post-new.php files.
3. Using further advice from posts I’ve found here, I created an .htaccess file, with the code

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>

and placed it in my wp-admin folder.

I’ve run out of ideas. 99% of all responses I can locate related to this problem are from people upgrading WordPress on a live site and/or having problems with plugins. Their solutions don’t help me.
