If your full path is wrong, you need to change the right serendipity path; you can use phpMyAdmin to edit the serendipity_config DB table and insert the right paths there! It seems your provider changed paths without telling you? Once more, you're right... That was "only" a full path prob...

Hi! Please try this updated script: <?php echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('/home/defactoa/www/blog/')), -4); echo "<br />\n"; echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms('/home/defactoa/www/blog/templates_c/')), -4); echo "<br />\n"; if (is_writable('/home/defactoa/www/blog/')) { ec...

hm it's almost ok, but it's not

Now it tells me "i don't have the rights to write in templates_c, give it to me manually"

So, i'm gonna set back the originally upgrader_inc.php and give you my ftp access by private message...

I hope it will work...

anyway, thank you for the help

hm we asnwered on the same time...

first, can i try to install without this verification ? (by deleting the lines i told on my previous post)

If not, i'll give you my ftp access...

thank you very much

Is it dangerous to simply delete this part of the upgrader script ?? (from line 265 to line 306)
I tried it, and by the way, i can continue the installation... but i'm not sure it's very clean to do that...

Hi! Hm, did you replace all is_writable checks? Yep there is 3 "is_writable" on lines 273, 284 and 296 and when i modified it to "is_dir", nothing has changed. I don't know about such protection. Please ask your provider how to proceed? Serendipity can't do something about it, y...

hm it seems to be weird. Someone told me that there is some protection when i set some file (or dir) to 777. Is it possible to pass through this on the update of s9y ? Because before that, everything was ok, the users had wrote a lot of topic in it... and now, they ask me to have the blog back :? wi...

Hi! Ah, maybe you can replace is_writable just with is_dir; the 'empty()' one was bad, as you experienced :) it doesn't work :? i'm gonna contact the ovh helpers... but an you tell me what i have to ask them precisely ?? Yes; show them your test.php script and ask them, why "FALSE" is ret...

ok it works for my basedir, but not for the templates_c dir, so i can't continue the install anyway... and when i modify every "is_writable" by "!empty", i have a parse error : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ')' in /home.13/d/e/f/defactoa/www/blog/include/ad...

now it tells me : 0777 0777 NOT WRITABLE NOT WRITABLE If your server is running PHP's SafeMode, you need to ensure that the user/group IDs of the owner of the directory are set so that PHP can access those directories. I don't understand that :? how can i know that my server is runnig PHP's safe mod...

it tells me :
0777
0777

it continues here

Im' sorry, it's in french


and inf filezilla i got this :

yep, it works perfectly...
in front of my serendipity dir, under permissions on filezilla, i have drwxrwxrwx, and the same in front of templates_c
And it doesn't change when i refresh and even when i close and reopen filezilla...

Si i'm really lost

i'm gonna update my old 0.9 version to the 1.1 beta version. i've made a backup of my existing files and of my DB. So, now i just have to copy all the files extracted of the serendipity-1.1-beta1.tar.gz file in the serendipity folder on my server ? (except config_local.inc.php) Is that right ? I'm ...
