yikes! after changing the userid in the configuration, i can now no longer log into the control panel.

uh-oh........

cool! i think that was it. i looked in the configuration and the userid was set to the wrong one.

thanks!

not sure if this is a bug but it's very frustrating, nonetheless. sometimes, after i make a change in the control panel or even when i create a new post, i'll receive a "database error". what i found is that the dbuser in my "serendipity_config_local.inc.php" file will change. Th...

that did it!!! thank you for all of your help!!!

thanks for all of your help, garvin. i'll get this working one way or the other. i've tried wordpress and textpattern and always seem to make my way back to serendipity.

thanks, again!

i just changed the timezone in the admin suite and now i get the "Database_Error". i checked in phpMyAdmin and i do have a proper database configured. it was working just fine until i made the change.

here's a screenshot of what i'm seeing:

i still don't see the "serendipity_config_local.inc.php" file, just a "serendipity_config.inc.php" file. would it be in the root of my blog or in another directory? i did a reinstall of 0.9.1 to see if that would help just to see if the needed file would be there and, unfortunate...

thanks for all of your help, garvin. i'll double-check to insure i have the file.

i just received a reply from textdrive support. it turns out that i DO have access to phpMyAdmin. what should i look for or edit there?

thanks for your help!

i'll have to check with textdrive to see if it's installed. i don't see it anywhere in my textdrive control panel.

thanks.

thanks for the reply, gavin. i don't seem to have a serendipity_config_local.inc.php. i do, however, have a serendipity_config.inc.php. i'm not sure how to access my database with phpMyAdmin. sorry about that. all this MySQL stuff is still very new to me. thanks! onegear: Did you look at your serend...

well, no luck. support from textdrive granted all privileges to my database and i still receive the error message. it seems to happen when i make a change in the control panel or, once, it even happened when i added a new post to my blog. i'm at a loss as to what it could be. i hate to go back to wo...

thanks for the reply, gavin. i definitely want to use serendipity so i'll wait and see what kind of response i get from textdrive on this.

i'll update this post once i get their response.

thanks!

thanks for the help. i sent a support ticket to textdrive to get some info on this matter. funny, though, i never had a problem with wordpress or textpattern. does serendipity work a little different than those two?

thanks, again, for all of your help.
