Just to add, im running php-4.3.11, so it isnt the php version..

Leonard - check your serendipity_config_local.inc.php and see which $serendipity['Versioninstalled'] is in there?

If you cannot access the file via PHP write a simple script:

Code: Select all

<?php
chmod('serendipity_config_local.inc.php', 0777);
?>

and then execute that PHP script and you'll be able to edit this local file.

        */

        $serendipity['versionInstalled']  = '0.8';
        $serendipity['dbName']            = 'serendipity';
        $serendipity['dbPrefix']          = 'serendipity_';
        $serendipity['dbHost']            = 'localhost';
