I have been following the install guide: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/readme_install.html

Im using my own server with the following:

apache_2.0.55-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
mysql-5.0.15-win32
php-5.0.5-Win32.zip

phpMyAdmin-2.6.4-pl4.zip
smf_1-1-rc2_install

I have been reading for hours and for some reason i cant find help with my problems this time.
PS. this is my first server installation.

My problem is that i cant post or do anything. I do get to login and shout hurray!! .. but then i cant post or even logout.

Please help me!

Do you have any error logs you can check on the server to see if there is a problem If you can post them here it would be great. Someone should be able to help. I know when I had that problem on my home server I had to define my ip address in the apache config file I think it was.

Im trying but cant find any errors in Apache og in Windows. It all seems to work greit - but no it aint!

The errors i see are the following:

When i try going admin in smf:
An Error Has Occurred!
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again. 

When i try posting:
The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:
Your session timed out while posting. Please try to re-submit your message.

When i try logout:
An Error Has Occurred!
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.

That kinda error makes me think i cant write or get access to somewhere in the server from smf but i have done it all from the install guide..

Dont know what else tro try now.

Do other PHP apps work on your server?  How long have you been running your own server?  Are you certain the problem isn't with your server configuration?
