Problem upgrade from 1.0.1 to 1.7.2

[keatslee]

Dear All,

I have problem upgrade from Serendipity from V1.0.1 to v1.7.2. Recenetly I have upgraded my XAMPP to latest version 1.8.1, then my existing Serendipity site have PHP error. Therefore I try to upgrade my Serendipity version to v1.7.2.

At the startup page, it told me to click "click here" to continue the upgrade, then it prompt me to input the login name and password. But whatever login I type in it also can't signon. I am pretty sure that login name and password for the admin is correct.

Regards,

Keats

Does your authors database table has changed to this? If not, submit this in phpmyadmin sql editor form and set the correct prefix first.

Code: Select all

    ALTER TABLE {PREFIX}authors ADD COLUMN hashtype int(1);
    ALTER TABLE {PREFIX}authors CHANGE password password VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL;

Then this procedure.

In some case the database updates (necessary between your 1.x and 1.7.x) have not run through successfully.
Often this has been the upper hashtype thing. But there may occur other issues too. So it might be good to have the update routine run again (see edit part of links thread text) first.
