Hi All, and Happy New Year!

So, I've got strange problem with my fresh installation of miniBB v.3.0.
on mentioned software (Lighttpd v.1.4.28, PHP v.5.1.6 safe mode On, miniBB v.3.0)

Nothing works, etc. ;-)

After some investigation, I figured out (on bb_adminXXXX.php page ), that
all my "$_POST" arrays are empty!

However, a separate test page, taken from bit.ly/TnAgLx
shows, that everything is OK.
POSTs itself works well.

So... where I am doing wrong... ?

What kind of "investigation" did you complete? What does it mean?

I'm just not sure how Lighttpd works. On Apache, you would certainly not experience this "problem" ever.
Receiving $_POST array in PHP is a must in nowadays any PHP script. It's not even about the server issue at all.

Actually, turning PHP's safe mode also means you are limiting yourself in something undetermined.

It means, I tried to debug php code to find out - why, I'm being redirected to the home auth screen
each time I try to enter my Admin's login/pass at bb_admin page.
This investigation leads me to the following: $_POST array is empty.

I'm not sure, it's Lighttpd-related problem.
As I mentioned before - test script (for POSTs) works well,
just in the same directory (means - with the same Server/Php configuration)

What else could it be?
PHP?

P.S.
Toggling Safe Mode ON/OFF did not help.

Could you make posts on forum as a Guest, or this problem only relates to the Admin panel?

You may check the Admin Login advices from FAQ section - may be one of them would help.
