Hi,

I'm using a fresh install of Canary/0.13.  When I try to add a new page and click on 'submit', it gives a webserver error:
  Internal Server Error
  The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.  (etc etc)

If I click on 'preview', it previews.  But if I then click on 'submit', it says "Alias has already been used on another page" and won't submit.

In both cases, CMS does not show the page as existing in its hierarchy.  However, in the 'preview' case, it does insert the page into the database in 'cms_content' (all DB tables prefixed with 'cms_' for my setup).

If I try to edit an existing page, I also get the 'Internal Server Error'.

Pages that are in the database via 'preview' that I manually make 'Active' in the Pages menu are not functional, as they only resolve to the top level:
  http://archer904.phpwebhosting.com/index.php/

So basically, I can't add or edit pages, and if I preview them it creates some sort of database entry but not a complete CMS-ready entry.

I love CMS, I've set it up for multiple sites (including version 0.10 on this same webhost for a different account), but this is taking up my whole day.  Oh, I'm using the Bulletmenu Vert 2 Col template to test this... I was using a custom template but thought, for diagnosis purposes, using an existing one might help.  It didn't.

Help!

Additional info: it's failing in 'editcontents.php' at
  $contentobj->Save();
(line 151).  For some reason, this command is failing.  I'm not sure where the Save()
method is, though, to diagnose further.

I would try with the latest CMSMS 1.0 beta and see if you still have this problem.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think it was a module conflict.  When in doubt... I just nuked everything, did a reinstall of bare 0.13, and it worked.  Added some modules, it worked.  Stopped when I had enough to get running.

I think there may be module incompatibility between 0.13 and one of:  Banners, Comments, Dictionary, faqX, Glossary, HTMLArea, pisearch, seminarplan, VisistorStats, or possibly SPAWeditor, TinyMCE, or widgEditor.

But I'm not going to install any more modules because a mostly-fine and fully running site is better than a fully-stuffed but buggy one.

I passed on the 1.0 beta because it said a lot of modules don't work with it, and that seemed to be the very sort of conflict I ran into here.

Thanks!
Sandy
