Did you enable logging? What errors do you get in the logs?

Hello Richard, just saw your email too, might be worth checking your browser console window, does it show any errors? In firefox you can press ctrl + shift  + k and then click Network, refresh the page and it will show all the requests it tries to do. check the response of the request, are there any errors?

As Mattia mentioned Apache logs will likely show the same errors if there are any.

Thank Mattia,

I followed your suggestion of Logging and found a few errors, regarding the ext directory and that has helped, but still getting the following log error.

I have checked the firefox console and not getting any error in the header responce.

apache error log...

Any pointers (apart from using a linux machine!)?

None of those look like error's to me, they look like the server starting up, although I dont know the exact details of windows 2008. On the login screen do you see a red box when you try and login with no text in it?

Genuine perseverance!!

I re-read the php.ini file again and noticed the mysql extension was not enabled.
That took more time that I had hoped, but a good learning experience.

I am now able to register user and enable accounts. However, when I try to create and input from the input example, I get the 'OK' message but the input is not created in the db.

Many thanks again.

if user register works then everything should be in place for input creation too, so not quite sure why its not working. Did the input table get created ok in the database? although I guess if it didnt it would have given you an error.

Are you logged in when creating an input?

What does this give you:

http://localhost/emoncms/input/post.json?node=1&csv=100,200,300

Trystan,

Thanks again for getting back to me.

I am logged in. When creating a user the database populates, but when I send an input using the string in your last reply, (even when using an apikey) I get an 'ok' in the browser, but nothing appears in the database.

I can even add content to the dashboard, simple gauge etc, and I can see those in the database.

The only thing which may be off, is that I am using 32bit PHP and Apache, but the mysql is a 64bit install, and wondering if the drivers for the string may not like the combination. I do find it odd, but determined to get to the bottom of it.

Any thought on the 32bit thing?

regards Richard
