Alright well I've been away from things for quite some time. When I upgraded from version 1.0.x to 1.2.1 I encountered a problem with comments posting about 40 time or so. Well I just upgraded again to 1.2.4 and I am still encountering the same problem.

At this point, I have wiped all directories (leaving only albums and cache) and I have left the database, Any and all previous customizations thrown out the window.

It doesnt matter what theme I choose or what spam filtering I choose, this happens.

I cant confirm it is a loop.. however, you hit submit, and the page just processes and processes and processes. If I close the browser and go back into it, there will be several of my comments, then if I leave and come back, there will be about 40 or so.

Can anybody lead me in the right direction.

Actually it fails after 101 comments

This sounds familiar, but I cannot remember for sure. I think there might have been issues with an IIS server. At this point why don't you try the 1.2.5RC1 release.

It is an IIS server. Ill update to RC when I get home and return with the results.

Alright.. I updated to RC and it is still doing it.

I also updated to the latest version of PHP (5.2.9-2) from 5.0.2

I also made a fresh install with 1 album in it in another location on the same server and it is still happening.

Anything else you think I should look at?

Ok, sorry. I should have looked the first time. You will need to comment out lines as indicated in functions-controller.php circa line 161.

If you know a means of detecting that the server is IIS, perhaps you could instead insert an appropriate if statement around the redirect and let us have the patch.

Perhaps you can post here the value returned by $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] on your IIS server.

seeing as I'm running into the same issue, the output of $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] is:
Microsoft-IIS/6.0

goes to tinker

Thanks, finally someone has answered the question. Will add in that check.

no prob hadn't played with commenting until the other day.
