You, sir, are a genius. Retrying it worked perfectly! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

As far as I can tell, I did everything in the upgrade. I don't know anything about sql, but I changed all the permissions, and I didn't get any error messages.

The only problem I had was with the serendpity/templates_c directory, where the file names are:

Hi there,
After being hit with someone who was able to use my code to send out massive amounts of spam, I'm finally upgrading from 0.8.4 to 1.0.2. It's all gone well, except for the "categories" part. I keep getting this message:


SELECT c.categoryid,
c.category_name,
c.category_icon,

I'll do that, then. Thanks!

I installed it last September, so I'm almost certain it was 0.8.4.

As for the plugins, I really don't know. I can post a list of plugins on there, if that helps at all.

Further to that, I just found this, in which Garvin talks about pretty much exactly what happened to me.

thanks very much! somehow the numbers had been changed back to 644, so that was the problem.

Sorry for the cross-post, but I wasn't sure whether this goes in "Bugs", or here, so I've put it at both.

I just went to save a new post on my blog ( http://www.iheartmusic.net/serendipity ), and the following error came up:

Hi everyone,
Is there any way to change the background colour from grey to white? I want the background colour to match my header (at http://www.iheartmusic.net/serendipity , if that helps). Which files need to be changed for this to happen, and where in the files need to be altered?
Thanks for ...

thank you so much! i'm slowly getting the hang of all this. i'll browse the rest of the forums and see what else i can figure out.

Hi Garvin,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I'm very slowly figuring this out, so I apologize in advance for asking such a basic question. I've edited the "serendipity banner", and it now links back to my homepage, but I can't get it to show the header from my homepage.
If my header is at http ...

Hi there,

I know there are several links explaining it, but I'm really new to this, so please bear with me, since no matter how many times I try it, it doesn't seem to work.

Basically, I want my blog banner to match the banner on the rest of my site (and, if possible, also have embedded in it a ...
