I’ve got comments set up on my site and have run both the ‘migrate’ and  
‘update’ tasks.

However, when I try to submit a comment on a page, I am redirected to  
the same page and it appears nothing happened. I do not receive any  
flash messages. The ‘Comments’ tab in the admin panel is empty, and when  
I check the database, it appears no row has been added.

Here’s my setup:

-Passenger  
-Radiant 0.7.1 (gem)  
-Comments 0.0.5 (seancribbs fork, 0.7 compatible)  
-fastercsv 1.4.0 (gem)  
-will\_paginate 2.3.8 (plugin)  
-Mollom keys configured

Is there a reason why the form wouldn’t post to the database?

P.S. Looks like the Comments extension is a popular topic lately!

I reinstalled and re-ran the migrate and update tasks for the comments  
extension, but I still have the same problem:

- I submit the comments form on a page and am redirected to  
“http://[page]/comments/”, but there are no comments that show up in the  
database.

Looking at my production.log, I see that it doesn’t appear that anything  
is being sent to the database. See below:
