sorting problems

  • Hello, I’ve been having some quite annoying problems with my blog lately.
    I recently migrated my server to an updated OS (Mac OS X Server 10.3), and have been having problems ever since.
    You can look at https://www.confloption.com/blog to see what i am talking about.
    The ordering is completely off.
    I am running PHP 4.3.3, MySQL 4.0.14, and Apache 1.3.28.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • How much of the original template did you change? It is quite difficult to trouble shoot without looking at your code. I would suggest trying the original index.php that came with WordPress. If you dont have much information in your blog (its looks like you dont), try redoing the database, or simply start a new database.

    And as a side note: the css messes up with Mozilla. The content of the navigation bar doesn’t start at the left border of the box, but right in the middle of it, and it is printed beyond the right border of the screen.
    Screenshots can be sent by email if you like.

    ok, that was the MySQL server not starting up, which actually isn’t my main problem. oops. sorry.
    Now that the MySQL server is up, you can see the sorting problems again.
    This is really confusing me.
    Any ideas?

    Ok, here is what I did and why I think this might be your issue. I created a user called test and tried to login. All the permalinks in b2edit.php are off a directory. In your main blog, all the comments are off a directory. There is something off in your config file or your index is sending the php headers twice, with two different directory structures. This is a comment link:
    https://www.confloption.com/index.php?p=7&c=1#comments
    Notice the lack of the /blog directory? This is the view site link in b2edit.php:
    https://www.confloption.com/index.php
    Again, notice the lack of the /blog?

    I have the same problem on OS X 10.3 with an out-of-the-box setup (sorry, not on the web so no URL). My theory is that MySql on OS X doesn’t sort by date correctly, but I don’t have time now to investigate fully. I’m ordering by “ID desc” for the moment, but this isn’t a permanent solution. Eventually I will try to put together a test case and see if I’m right.

    ah yes, the ‘basedir’ setting is definitely off. thanks for the heads-up on that. however, that is not related to the aforementioned sorting problem.
    cyberholo, thanks for your help. i will have a go in the panther support forms.

    OK, I updated the MySQL server using the ‘Complete MySQL 4.0.15’ package. Everthing is running normally. Thanks for everyone’s help.

    The blog works, but the CSS issues remain when viewing with Mozilla… ??
