I have installed advance poll on my site. but when I click on vote same (voting ) page reappears. it does not fetch any result neither enter vote to polldata.

Having visited other websites with advance poll, I noticed that auto generated form on my site vary a little from that of others.

other (working) forms have this line this way:

<form method=post action="poll.php(or whatsoever file name is)">

mine has only this:

<form method=post action=""> no file name

pray help me,

thanx

After voting you want the user to be taken back to the main page?

Have you installed the poll correctly?
Including it correctly in your site?

There is no question of users being taken back to main page , when poll is not going to result page at all.

when I click on vote, vote page just refreshes, don't show any result( this happen with php files ) or it says poll ID does not exist


How I installed script

I downloaded the poll...unziped it in my local directory, then copied all the contents of textfiles folder into a directory on my server call poll


before copy I edited confg.inc.php file, changing its first to lines to /poll and /poll/images

after uploading all textfiles folder contents to poll directory, I set premissions for the files and directories, as perscribed in readme file


Admin area of poll seems working fine. I can create new polls. I can also check poll stats from [i]poll list
. Every thing here work fine.

but problem persists. I even tried to vote on demo_5.shtml but it does not work either.

here are links to demo that I installed on my site with the script and php vote file. I did not make any changes in it.

Hope you will be able get a cleare picture now [/i]

Have you set the poll path in the admin panel correctly?

Is the poll set to hidden? ie. it hides the results until it expires (i think).

localhost can most likely stay as localhost.
dbname is the name of the MySQL database you want the poll to use.

ask your host or consult the cpanel doc's for info on how to setup db's.
