Hi Andy

This is a longshot but I'm thinking that this could maybe have something to do with, what permissions have been set for network service or the iusr? Are they given proper permissions on the umbraco root folder?

Hi Jan,

I've run the standard permission set, assigning to the correct app pool:

icacls . /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)M
icacls app_code /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)RX
icacls app_browsers /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)RX
icacls app_data /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)M
icacls bin /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)R
icacls config /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)M
icacls css /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)M
icacls data /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)M
icacls masterpages /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)M
icacls media /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)M
icacls python /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)M
icacls scripts /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)M
icacls umbraco /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)R
icacls usercontrols /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)R
icacls xslt /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)M
icacls web.config /grant "IIS APPPOOL\Umbraco":(OI)(CI)M

and have confirmed directly on the directories and files that the permissions are correct.

I'm going to attempt a fresh installation again and see if I run into the same problem. I'll follow up with a post noting success or not.

Thanks,
Andy

Okay,

So if I do a fresh install of the Personal Blog starter kit, the comment post works correctly. However, if I do a fresh install of the Business Website starter kit they do not. I've got them both running locally in seperate sites, so now I'm going to start comparing to see if I can find a difference between the two.

Thanks
Andy

Figured it out!

When the starter kit installs, it also updates the restExtensions.config file. However, the ext information is wrong. In the install, it updates with:

<ext assembly="Runway.Blog" type="Runway.Blog.Library.Base" alias="umbBlog">
    <permission method="CreateComment" returnXml="false" allowAll="true" />
    <permission method="GetGravatarImage" returnXml="false" allowAll="true" />
</ext>

which seems to match the Blog4Umbraco package. But, in looking at the AjaxCommentForm.aspx it is posting to /base/RunwayBlog/CreateComment/xxx.aspx (as noted in my initial post). Therefore, the restExtensions section alias attibute should be RunwayBlog:

  <ext assembly="Runway.Blog" type="Runway.Blog.Library.Base" alias="RunwayBlog">
    <permission method="CreateComment" returnXml="false" allowAll="true" />
    <permission method="GetGravatarImage" returnXml="false" allowAll="true" />
  </ext>

Once I updated the alias and recycled the site the commenting now works!

On a side note, could someone please mark this as answered as I cannot seem to be able to do so!

Thanks,
Andy

So cool Andy.

Thank you, I had the same problem and you really saved me some time.

Your post is the solution, but I cannot seem to mark it either :-(

Best regards, Simon K

Thanks for this - wish I would have found this post about thirty minutes ago! Has this bug been reported or anything?

Hi Andy,

Thank you shar your idea.I face the same issue.And I spend a lot of time to find the source code of "Runway.Blog", then I search in Umbraco form. You help me.

Thanks Andy.... You rock.. 

Thanks Andy .. I think your solution will help me.

But what do you mean by "recycled the site" ? Do you mean restart IIS ?

Tarek.

Tarek,

Yes, I just recycled the App Pool but you can do the same by altering the web.config file of the site (add a new line, etc and save).

Thanks,
Andy

Thank Andy, I should have looked up this earlier to save 1 of my day. Also I notice that in my installation jquery.validate.min.js is included inside Setttings>Templates>StarterMasterKit>Blogpost and results in this error when click Submit:

Uncaught TypeError: Object #

So my fix is to move

<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/jquery.validate.min.js">script>

to StarterMasterKit file. Albeit it might be redundant for pages with no forms, it gets rid of the error for me.

(Also instead of changing the config file like you did, an alternative is to change "RunwayBlog" to the original "umbBlog" in

WebMatrix: Files: usercontrols>Blog>AjaxCommentForm.ascx:

var url = "/base/umbBlog/CreateComment/.aspx";

)

Hope that helps someone.

This issue is still not fixed in Version 6 + Business start kit, your solution works fine (by making the AJAX logic and base/ url match)
can only say thanks here, as my KARMA is not enough to vote you up 

is working on a reply...
