    I've set up a new site, replacing a previous one, its on a new addresss, with a new new database. The database was setup by the company, and works fine. The problem is, that when i go into the Blocks menu, in the admin section, and i add a block (any type of block - Core and Custom) it says it has created it, but it does not appear.

    Any Ideas?

    Regards,

    ..are there any other blocks that show? .. do you see them listed in the batabase as being created? do you have a URL where we can see this?

    All the starting blocks are showing. The blocks that I create are shown as being in the database. The URL is:

    http://neur0soft.co.uk/~claneua/

    Any help would be appreciated.

    ..I'd "personally" welcome any specs you might be able to share.. OS, webserver, DB server..

    ..anyone else notice the flux of similar reports from sites where PN is not at the root..? is this a common occurance..? server config. or?

    Yep, I discovered the same when setting up PostNuke several months ago for my company. In this case the block movement and permission settings did not work. As soon as I moved the installation to the webservers root all problems were gone.

    Well its a nice idea, thanks, but it was unsuccessful. We moved it to the root folder of /~claneua/ . The neur0soft.co.uk is not the root folder of the site, but my organisation-partner's site. /~claneua/ is a sub-domain of it.

    Regards,

    ..thanks for your input landseer ;) ..I didn't think it could be coincidence.

    ..if you can create a virtualhost setting to point your URL to that folder it would work the same..

    it just seems to me that a lot of similar issues are being reported and the URL's all seem to be off of the root of the site.

    ..try creating a vhost or point a subdomain to the folder that contains PN.. such as: http://claneua.neur0soft.co.uk

    ..since it appears to be a unix system and most likely apache webserver.. the vhost config would look something like this:

    NameVirtualHost 123.456.789.1:80
    <virtualhost>
    DocumentRoot /home/claneua/Sites
    ServerName claneua.neur0soft.co.uk
    ServerAdmin admin[AT]neur0soft.co.uk
    </virtualhost>

    ..this assumes user directory permissions were already set..
