hi all,

when trying to post a comment to my blog, I'm greeted with

Comment Submission Error

Your comment submission failed for the following reasons: Invalid request

is it the permission problem?

the server is Windows 2003 + IIS with MT4.2

anyone who can fix the problem for me? thx

sure, my mt-config is:

CODE

################################################################
##################### REQUIRED SETTINGS ########################
################################################################

# The CGIPath is the URL to your Movable Type directory
CGIPath    http://xch.name/mthome/

# The StaticWebPath is the URL to your mt-static directory
# Note: Check the installation documentation to find out
# whether this is required for your environment.  If it is not,
# simply remove it or comment out the line by prepending a "#".
StaticWebPath    http://xch.name/mt-static

#================ DATABASE SETTINGS ==================
#   REMOVE all sections below that refer to databases
#   other than the one you will be using.

##### MYSQL #####
ObjectDriver DBI::mysql
Database xu

and the check results goes here:

Normally this error is when the comment is not via POST or the posting domain does not match the CGIPath domain or if there is an additional redirect in between.

I see that some posts have comments on them, what has changed since then.

so where and how to change the posting domain? I think I don't make any redirect...

actually, I have just moved the blog from a Unix+Apache server to this Win2003+IIS server and the old posts with comments are imported from the old server.

do you have anything like an HTTP 301 redirect from the old server to the new server?

It looks like the JavaScript template which publishes the mt.js javascript file on the server needs to be republished and possibly refreshed. The comment form contains a hidden "armor" form field (new with Movable Type 4.2's default templates), but the mt.js file at http://xch.name/blog/mt.js does not contain the necessary code to support the armor field. Without the javascript code to support the armor field in the comment form, Movable Type will reject a comment submission with an "Invalid request" error message.

thanks david, I just replace the mt.js with the default one and it works now!!! very thanks to you!
