post.php does not work (fresh install)

    I’ve gone through the code to find out why it’s not working for me and I still don’t know but here are some observations:
    1) I click on login from the right menu and login as a user with a level > 0
    2) all I see is the WordPress header bit and “WordPress bookmarklet” box
    What I do not see in the page source code after it is finished is:
    1) the edit form – so I am assuming that the include(‘edit-form.php’);call is not working or that there is an error/problem in edit-form.php
    2) I do not see the text that should be outputted from admin-footer.php which is the last call in post.php – no link to the wordpress support forums
    So either it’s :
    1) a config issue and this is a bog-standard install – I nuked the my-sql db first and cleared all caches in browsers and cookies – and I’ve tried it with 4 browsers so that can’t be it (on mac and windows) – so i’ve changed nothing in the config apart from the uid and pwds
    2) post.php has a bug
    3) edit-form has a bug – but i’m assuming it’s not even being called as the admin-footer is also not being called
    Anyone care to take a guess at this?
    cheers

    Login as the admin with the pw given to you during (at the end of) the installation.
    For a user of level 0 this is the “normal” behaviour.

    moshu – thanks for info but i did log in as admin – and the admin has user level 10 – i also (using phpMyAdmin setup another user with user level5) so that’s not the problem.
    But thanks for the idea ??
    Any other ideas?

    Woo hoo I finally fixed it!!! I found a bug in post.php ??
    the following lines do not work:
    if (get_settings('advanced_edit')) {
     include(‘edit-form-advanced.php’);
    } else {
     include(‘edit-form.php’);
    ` }
    I changed it to
