A fresh install of D7 alpha 6 does not work. The string '#overlay=' is added to the URL. Example: http://localhost/drupal7/node#overlay=admin/config

When I manually correct the URL, the site continues working.

What do you mean by "does not work" - could you be more specific?

What you describe with the URL is what the overlay module does.... at a URL like that it is supposed to display the admin/config page in an overlay on top of the front page of the site.

Is that not happening for you? (And if so, what browser and operating system are you using?)

I installed it on my localhost: Fedora 12 64 bit system, Apache 2.2.15, MySQL 5.1.47, PHP 5.3.2, Firefox 3.5.10.

When I go to the start page: http://localhost/drupal7/ the site shows up.
Whatever link I click, the URL changes in the addressbar to the form http://localhost/drupal7/node#overlay=node/add, but nothing happens.
I need to manually edit the url, e.g. http://localhost/drupal7/node/add to do something. Then the site keeps on working. However I do not get an overlay. I can work on the standard pages.

I did not had this problem with the alpha 5 version (same OS and package setup).

Title: Fresh install D7a6 does not work - #overlay= is added to URL » Overlay not appearing on fresh install D7a6

There was some major refactoring done to the Overlay between alpha5 and alpha6. It's possible your old JS is still cached in your browser, maybe? (Or in Drupal, if JS aggregation is on...)

Does another browser have the same problem, and/or if you shift+reload and/or clear your caches (sometimes Firefox is overly aggressive), does it fix it?

Clearing all cache and history seems to solve the problem.
I also tried a complete new install again (after clearing everything). The overlay is now appearing.

Going to continue testing the D7a6 now...
