    Question New install but login not working

    Hi,

    I have a new install of MediaWiki but I am having some trouble logging in. The following problems are happening:

    (1) When I click on the 'Create an account or login' link at the top-right (http://<mysite>/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Main_Pa ge) the URL returns the current page instead of the login page.

    (2) I can navigate through Special Pages to the login page but when I attempt to login or create a new user (by clicking any of the buttons on the page) I get the following error page:

    No such action
    The action specified by the URL is not recognized by the wiki

    The action which is not being recognised seems to be
    action=submitlogin

    I seem to be able to do other actions such as edit pages.

    Thanks in advance.

    Bumping this in a final attempt to see if anybody has an idea of what this problem could be. Any opinions and ideas welcome.

    Thanks

    Default a workaround

    I have still not solved this problem however I do have a workaround.

    I installed apache instead and everything worked fine - straight off the bat. I had two web servers running - thttpd and Apache. Both seemed to be working fine with PHP and MySQL.

    It would be great to hear from somebody who might know what this problem was ... it seems very strange that thttpd did not support the same functionality as Apache. The only thing I can think of is that thttpd has some additioanl security settings or restrictions set by default.
