I have a frustrating problem with a new installation. I can't figure out if the issue is with apache, php, drupal or my system in general. I can connect to my site, but when I login the connection times out. But the login operation does complete because if I pop open a new browser tab immediately after hitting "Login" on the first tab and then connect to my site, it brings up the site with me logined as the correct user. This same problem occurs when I change settings, when I post content, when I logout.
The first tab (where I expect to see the response from the operation just performed) will always timeout. But opening up a new tab to the main page of the site immediately shows me what I should have seen. If I had changed settings, it brings me back to there. If I had posted content it brings me to a display of my content, etc. But the original connection just dies. It's almost like the server can't generate and send back to me what it's supposed to. But as soon as I query the server on a new connection, bingo! Everything is up as it should be.
My feeling is this is an issue with apache or a firewall or something. It happens when I try to connect to my machine from the intranet or from the internet through a router, so the problem is on the machine itself.
Has anybody every seen anything like this? It's like the feedback from my POST operations just won't
