WordPress on Vista

Sounds like a cookie/session problem.

What is the url of your blog? i.e https://localhost/

What browsers have you tried?

thanks for the reply.
it’s https://localhost/blog
I tried IE7, Maxthon

IIS is always problematic. Switch to Apache instead.

I suspect that IIS isn’t your problem, but your configuration of PHP. I’d suggest that you download 2.0.6 RC1 and see if your problem goes away:

The download is here:
https://www.ads-software.com/beta/wordpress-2.0.6-RC1.zip

Your issue is related to Ticket 3215, which I’ve described in my 2.0.6 Feature List ( https://www.thecodecave.com/article297 ) :

“Ticket #3215 – “Login & Update functions everything is broken” – PHP can talk to the server in different languages. On servers using the “Fast CGI” language, an error 500 was received when reaching administration pages. The code was rewritten to have special handling for Fast CGI servers.”

I installed WordPress-2.0.6-RC1, the PROBLEM remains, when I try to log-in on the administration page, I then redirected to the same page again and the address has “https://localhost/blog/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fblog%2Fwp-admin%2Findex.php”

Any Clues?!

… you didn’t answer the cookie question. ??

onsi, I’ve seen some issues with using localhost as the url (not just a wordpress issue).

Try a different domain, i.e. your ip address or computer name.

Sorry for the delay,
I tried coockies issues and not solverd,
I also tried other domains, with no luck.

any other clues

is anybody running wordpress on vista yet!

I had same problem.

I found this fix for it.

Hope it helps.

Microsoft’s new network stack has had a number of different problems, most of them caused by the rest of the world not being completely up-to-date with the latest standards (backwards compatibility, who needs it!). This problem is no exception.

Jeez those Redmond guys have got some cheek. ??

We usually suggest using localhost.localdomain over on the WPMu forums. You do have to add it into your HOSTS file though.

The IIS team has released a fix for this issue. Read more about it here: https://blogs.iis.net/bills/archive/2007/09/25/iis7-patch-for-windows-vista-fixes-cgi-php-applications-that-send-multiple-response-headers.aspx
