Mint Forum

I’ve just installed Wordpress 2.3 and Mint like in the toturial here on the forum, together with the WP plugin for inserting the javascript.

Mint is tracking visits, but it won’t allow me to install any plugins or modify any of the default settings.

Basically whenever I click a plugin install button I’m fowared to the default page displaying the peppers, whenever I click the “View Mint” button I’m forwarded to the page containing the EULA agreements that I got before installing.

What’s happening? This has never happened before.Anyone have any ideas? :(

I saw another post here regarding disapearing peppers and I appended a &errors to my preferences url but I see no php errors.

Wait, at a closer look, when I append the &errors, the box next to Trim www and index.* from urls becomes unchecked.

But I guess that’s supposed to happen?

Ok this is really bad :(

I just reinstalled mint in a new database this time without sharing the wordpress one and same stuff is happening all over again.

So it’s got to be from my server but how do I find out exactly what’s wrong? :(

I have just ran again the Mint Compatibility Suite and everything seems to be fine so I’m now guessing that gzip is really messing up with Mint.

I also have custom ETags.

I’m pasting below everyting I have in the httpd.conf file relevant to gzip and ETags.

I’ve renabled the WP Mint plugin and tested.Seems to be working even if I use a separate database for Mint and don’t share it with WordPress.

Sean, can you please confirm that this is a valid configuration and won’t cause any further problems with Mint?

Mint can be run on a separate database.

I’m not sure but you can always enable those for the entire site and disable them in the Mint directory with .htaccess. You’d have to check their respective documentation to see how (as I’ve never used either).
