I log on then click create content. I am asked to log in. after loging in i try to add content i am asked to log on. after I re log on the title and body of the post is gone. after i add the title and body copy and hit submit i am asked to log on etc etc ..

asking tech support at my server i get this response.

The permissions on your folders are set so apache can read/write to all the
drupal files -- that's the only issue I can think of on the server-side.
We're running php 5.2 -- don't know if drupal has any conflict with that.

I'd suggest posting your problem to the drupal forums and see if the can
help:

any suggestions for this drupal newbe

Check if there's a base_url mismatch.
For example, if you login from http://www.domain.com and menu links point to http://domain.com

In the case i have seen i had an user session active with www and all menu blocks showed up,
but base_url was set without www so opening any link would treat you as if you had never logged in.

I understand how I could login from http:// or htt://www but how do I know about the menu links.

$base_url = 'http://www.mydomain/drupal-4.7.4'; // NO trailing slash!

If I understand I must log on at this url -- well what about the trailing slash ? If I type the url without the slash the slash appears anyway.

he's referring to this issue. http://drupal.org/node/93945. I don't know if it applies in this case though.

are there any 'better' places to post -- I can't imagine that there are better places to post that this 'mail' site but, again i see many posts of users with this same log on problem but i see no answers. am i missing something.

OR any thoughts on another app that works better?

thanks in advance

I took the time to read the thread I pointed you to. All of it. I'd highly suggest using the patch and seeing if that clears up your trouble. It certainly sounds like it will. php 5.2 is new and helped reveal something that needed to be patched and has been.

when reading the issue, make sure you follow along and use the most recent patch that describes your problem. Toward the bottom of the thread.
