I have succesfully installed drupal 4.4 before, but there's this other server where I just can't get it to work... The problem is that none of the Drupal forms POST their data, so I can not enter any data.
See http://www.hoeben.net
Running a clean 4.4.1 install on Linux/Apache/PHP4.3.6/MySQL

Try creating a user. If you succeed, you'll be the admin ;-). I tried multiple browsers, including Firefox.
I had a closer look myself, and it seems the forms in drupal won't POST. I added the following lines to the top of my conf.php to verify this:
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]!="GET") {
echo "bingo!";
exit;
}
?>
Logically, this should bail out whenever a form is POSTed. But it never does...
It's not just the user registration form that exhibits this behavior. I tried transplanting the database of a populated drupal site to this server. The drupal site worked, but I could not log in or post new content.
Using (simple) forms on this server works fine: http://www.hoeben.net/test.php
This script prints out the $_SERVER and $_POST variables. If you use the POST button, you'll see that the $_POST variable is succesfully populated, and $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] is set to POST.
DDEV is the official local development tool of Drupal. And like Drupal, DDEV depends on the support of the open source community.
