Yay, it’s working now!
OK, so I had required entries in hosts file for localhost, however I had to add new host name for my site specifically and set up virtual host config for it to get the registration working.
Just out of curiosity: why was it necessary? I mean – why wasn’t it working with http://localhost:8080/my_wp_directory but is working just fine with http://bp_test.local:8080? I’m asking because basically I like to understand what I’m doing or what I’m doing wrong to not repeat same mistakes twice 😉
Quick follow-up since I’m still struggling with this problem with registration, but done some more testing in the meantime.
I’ve installed clean WP with BuddyPress (same versions as above) on my other machine – LAMP server this time (php 5.5.9 & apache 2.4.7 running on Ubuntu 14.04). This time registration process is working properly! However on Windows machine still nothing…
Can this problem be somehow connected with the non-default port (8080) used on Windows machine? Or maybe BuddyPress requires some specific php modules enabled I’m not aware of? As I mentioned all other pages of my WordPress install are working properly on WAMP server and that’s not the first WordPress install I’m doing on that server and never had any WordPress problems before.
Anybody has any ideas how to fix this registration issue? Or how to test it additionally to figure out what’s going wrong here?
Yes, I have permalinks enabled and set to Post name. All other pages and posts are loading just fine, no problems there. BuddyPress Members, Activity Streams and User Groups pages were successfully created and seem to be working just fine as well.
Just the registration page reloads with form data filled when I try to submit it and no user gets registered.
I haven’t mentioned it in the previous post but I’ve also checked Apache logs to see if any errors were logged, but logs are all clean, so no help there unfortunately as well (btw I have Apache 2.4.4 and php 5.4.12 on my WAMP server install).
