Serendipity Forums

I migrated my websites over to a new server and now when I try to view my blog I get the install page instead of the blog or even the admin page. I have checked in the database and the paths are what they're supposed to be. What happened during the migration? If I install it will I lose or corrupt all the data in the database?
version 1.6.2 on php 5.3.27 the old server was php 5.2.17.

If you get the install-page, then you haven't migrated properly.
If you install, it will create a new blog.
If you get the upgrade page, the change will only effect to the new version.

Look inside the serendipity_config_local.inc.php file and see your database credentials. They must fit to the servers environment, so change them, if in need.
Did you also check the .htaccess for wrong full and base paths?
And adapted all changed path settings in the database?
