i don't know what i may have done wrong, but right after installing geeklog for the first time, when i try to login, or click anything else that requires processing, i get redirected to the following URL:
http://max.kliche.org/howtos/solaris-software-raid.html

any idea what this is about?

Are you in control of your webserver? I once named my webserver something strange and then whenever I did something with geeklog had your problem (different URL, of course). When I renamed the server "localhost", everything was fine.

yes, in control, local install, and it's localhost alright.

ok. it was a path issue. sorry.
