I found the problem. Apparently the text of some of the URLs contained invalid UTF-8 characters. This was causing PostgreSQL to choke. Serendipity proceeded as if the text were saved. Why isn't Serendipity checking the return status of database calls?

I can't even save a draft. It claims to have saved it but if I look from another browser the changes weren't saved at all.

I'm trying to save a new blog post but it's not being saved. I have several (about a dozen) URLs in the post. If I cut that back to about three it gets saved. I looked all over the Serendipity settings and all of my plugins but nothing I change appears to help. Does anyone have an idea where the lim...

I'm using the Spam Protector plugin. I think I left most of the settings at defaults. I have 'Check Trackback URLs' enabled but I don't see anything else that should cause an outbound connection.

As I stated, the apache group's opinion seems to be that this is a PHP or application issue.

I've been having problems with my apache server. After a while it stops responding to requests. If I can get in before it is totally gone, I find many sessions in "Sending Reply" mode and all are processing some PHP page. These requests are all very old and there is no TCP/IP connection as...

I just went to the Serendipity download site and noticed the trackback-control plugin is currently at version 1.16. My system had 1.5. I upgraded and it appears to work now. Guess that one doesn't get updated with a Serendipity update....

I just upgraded to the latest - 1.0.1 - and get the same results on the manual trackback entry.

The first one worked. Plugging the second one into the trackback plugin resulted in:

• Checking http://mein-test.supersized.org/comment ... ntry_id=29 for possible trackbacks...
• Trackback failed: No trackback-URI found.

The problem: When a blog has a text like "this is my trackback-uri" this is only for humans. Try to add this link in the trackback-plugin, it should work. That's part of the problem. I have tried pasting that into the trackback plugin and it still doesn't work. It appears to load that pag...

It seems no matter what site I link to, Serendipity fails to enter a trackback to that site. I always get the error 'No trackback URI found' even though the page contains a trackback URI. What exactly is Serendipity looking for? How do I troubleshoot this? Is there any logging that can be turned on?...

In your serendipity directory, there should be a file called serendipity_config_local.inc.php or something similar. That contains your database connection parameters.

I just replaced my 0.7.1 install with the latest nigtly kit in hopes of stopping a trackback spammer. I added the url he's posting to the 'Wordfilter for URLs' entry in the 'Spam Protector' plugin's configuration. I'm still getting spammed. How do I stop this without turning off trackbacks altogether?

Apache is running on port 80. Originally, php_sockets.dll wasn't loaded. I changed php.ini to include it and it made no difference. Safe mode is off. disable_functions is blank. There are no errors in the Apache error log. I enabled a PHP error log and the only message I get there is identical to th...

I'm trying to install Serendipity on a Windows machine at work. I'm running Apache 1.3.28 and PHP 4.3.10 on Windows 2000. I get the following error after entering configuration information on the initialization screen. Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in d:\program files\ap...

I don't mean to prod but I'm getting trackback spammed which is making this a big deal. Has anyone found a fix for this yet? Does this problem exist in newer versions?
