As it is hosted on Windows, we have 404 handler as a shortcut to IIS, to create permalinks. It is the following:-

<?php
$qs = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$pos = strrpos($qs, '://');
$pos = strpos($qs, '/', $pos + 4);
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = substr($qs, $pos);
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
include('index.php');
?>

That looks where index.php is coming from. I’m very basic in php, can you see an easy fix?

Re your last post, both of these debug urls seem to give the same result: 4-5 lines of identical php error message at the bottom. Cannot see the difference.

Re permalinks, yes it is weird. These all:-
Day and name
Month and name
Numeric
Post name

Have this structure in settings: http://www.latindiscover.com/blog/index.php/etc
In other words, for some reason “index.php/” appears where it should not!

I will now switch to Post name permalink to see what happens….

1. Shortcode of the post test-album-bernard:
[wppa type=”album” album=”1″][/wppa]

For the page photo:
[wppa type=”album” album=”6″][/wppa]

2. I will check this.

3. For other sites I use Post name. For this Window-hosted blog, I use Custom structure = /%postname%/. So the example URL given is this: http://www.latindiscover.com/blog//%postname%/. These are the permalink urls you see for the photos above.

For some reason the example URL given for Post name is different from the normal permalink for Post name as it includes index.php, which is why I do not use:
http://www.latindiscover.com/blog/index.php/sample-post/

Hi, thanks for answering on this!

http://www.latindiscover.com/blog/test-album-bernard/ is post working properly as preview, not once published.

The large image and thumbnail box are both too large for the post, because I then decided to change the settings to work on a no sidebar page.

http://www.latindiscover.com/blog/photo/ is a link for a page. Also works fully in preview unpublished mode, as seen after copying the code to a static html page: http://www.latindiscover.com/preview-test.htm.

Could be a permalink problem, as it works with a dynamic url. It is a Windows server, with 3.5.2. Other things in the settings panel don’t work, eg getting the photo to load in a separate page, getting the alt to be anything but the photo file name with jpg etc.

“I’m surprised it even worked at all!”

Should be no reason why not. Databases can be accessed from anywhere, are almost never on the same web server. We have one MS SQL database on host 2, and is accessed by websites hosted on host 1 and 2 without problem.

It has – presumably why the 11 tables were created in the first place from what was previously a blank mySQL database. But then after filling in the form asking for blog name, user, password, etc, none of this gets entered into the database (user table, post table with the example post etc).
