Blog access once more
Working over the Internet, from the hotel, I tried again. On Demeter – the company laptop – I also installed IE 8.0 and again, this has some problems. In general, and with the blogs in particular. It seems it doesn’t cache login data the first time, but a second time the problem seems gone.
I encounter the problem with mail as well. Access to the web-based program that interfaces with VMS mail, requires login, obviously. That’s Ok for getting the headers, but access the first message, another login is required. Furher access is Ok from there on.
Now accessing the blogs, requiring login by a PHP script, is fine but accessing the admin page fails time after timeL teh server cannot display the page. It may be a case setting (have to check on that!). Since the “submit” button adds a diversion to this index page in the URL, it might cause a problem. Accessing the page directly doesn’t work either.
On Demeter, I also have a Ubuntu installation on VMWare, and firefox in that is properly working. The redirection is problematic as well, but direct acess is no problem (otherwise I wouldn’t be able to add this entry 🙂 ).
Another weird problem: to change the date of an entry, you can hit a link to change it. But the PHP engine seems to ignore bookmarks. The page is fully loaded again as it shows. No possibility to change the date…
Words were that PHP 5 would be released some time in January 2009. Still waiting…(I didn’t receive feedback on my remarks either). I think I’ll push the native program into the development cycle….
