Hi -- I am in the process of upgrading from a very OLD version of Serendipity (1.5.1) to 2.0.3. The update script ran successfully but I'm getting the following error: page browser entries at the home page of eartharchitecture.org. Can you please advise additional steps required to finish the instal...

Hello -- I have been trying to solve a problem for a while that our Serendipity website is not loading at http://eartharchitecture.org/ (See previous forum listing for history.) At this point, I believe we've solved the database issue but I am now getting new errors. Several examples are listed belo...

Hello -- I'm back. I've downgraded the php to 5.4 It looked like the user had been disassociated from the database. I reattached and upgraded the config file. I am now getting this error: serendipity error: unable to connect to database - exiting. The hosting provider swears that the PHP module pgsq...

OK -- I'm on it.

This is what I'm seeing at that location. I previously uploaded a new version of this file. Comparing the code there appeared to be no difference. So is it access to the database that might be the issue? $serendipity['dbConn'] = $function( sprintf( '%sdbname=%s user=%s password=%s', "$host$port...

Hello -- I am checking back in. The specific php error that is being received by the server is: [30-Apr-2016 17:43:46 America/Denver] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function pg_connect() in /home1/raelsanf/public_html/eartharchitecture/serendipity/include/db/postgres.inc.php on line 68 Suggestio...

Morning, I have executed all your suggestions. The php upgrade cleared the database error but the site still will not load. I am not familiar with this software and in looking for the index location just now did not find anything on the site that looked like it. I saw a number of temporary index fil...

Hi -- I've updated the site to php 5.6. It did something as I am no longer getting the database error but still cannot connect. I'm now getting this 500 error: www.eartharchitecture.org is currently unable to handle this request but the database error seems to be cleared. I checked the serendipity_c...

Hi Gentlemen,

Actually the site is running php 5.4. It was the Portege sql app that is current. So I will upgrade to 5.6 and see if that fixes the problem.

I'll get back to you.

Very good. I'll check and see if we can fix first.

Thank you,
Marge

Hi --

OK, I'll check these today but I agree with you that there may have been an upgrade of the server software, or a hack. However the directories are not showing any malware activity.

How risky is it to do an upgrade first to see if that fixes it?

Thank you,
Marge

Hi -- I've contacted the server administrator per your recommendation: It appears that the database software is up and running: PDO These PDO packages are installed and running: pdo_dblib pdo_mysql PDO_ODBC pdo_pgsql pdo_sqlite pgsql They also provided this information: /home1/raelsanf/public_html/e...

OK -- Thanks I will check that. And yes, I agree they need an update once we get this fixed.

Warm regards,
Marge

Hi -- Here's what we have running: Serendipity version: 1.5.1 (I'm looking at the "current version" file which I assume is it.) It looks like it was installed in 2012. PHP: 5.4.43 PostgreSQL 8.4.20 My understanding is there have been no changes in the last few months from the user side. Cl...

The url is http://www.eartharchitecture.org/ The site is hosted on Bluehost. I've checked with Bluehost and we are getting the following PHP error: PHP F...
