It worked locally

[Anon]

I created a whole forum style site using php and mySQL on my home computer. After a while it worked fine.

I then uploaded it to my host where is barely works at all. Especially passwords for some reason, but I think I might have sorted that one out.

Are there any things I should look out for especially.

Cheers.

the biggest problem to look for is local absolute references to your data. Since you developed the site on the same machine that had access to the files directly, you can sometimes get anchor tags like this:

<A HREF=file:///G%7E/myfile.html>

when it should be something like:

<A HREF=/somedir/somefile.html>
