Fixing "Full path"

Post by lfrantzen »

Hi,

I accidentally ruined the full path under:

Configuration --> Paths --> Full Path

Now I cannot access the blog anymore, neither the blog administration.

See the trouble here: http://www.frantzen.info/

How can I fix the full path?

Thanks for every hint!
Cheers,
Lars

Hi!

Well the error that currently appears is an error that shoould only occur with PHP 4. You are not running PHP4 anymore, right? If so, either upgrade or remove the twitter plugin (which requires PHP5).

You can fix serendipityPath either by using phpMyAdmin and checking the serendipity_config DB table for the value; or if you removed the twitter plugin, you should basically (hopefully) still be able to upen serendipity_admin.php to get into the backend to change the path properly again...

HTH,
Garvin

Hi Garvin,

thanks for the reply! I fixed the path via phpMyAdmin, but the error remained. I then deleted the twitter plugin dir, and now I get this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /homepages/10/d243342463/htdocs/serendipity/plugins/serendipity_event_oembed/serendipity_event_oembed.php on line 190
Is this another issue with this plugin, or shall I better upgrade in the current state?

Cheers,
Lars

May I ask how you did that exactly?

Update:

I also removed the oembed plugin, and now I can access the blog again!

I guess it is time to upgrade now!?

Thanks and Cheers,
Lars

P.S. I am running this on 1&1:
Powered by Serendipity 1.6.2 and PHP 4.4.9

so it was a manual ruination..., fine. I just wanted to be sure. ;-)
Yes PHP 5 is recommended!!!
FTR: But this possibly will need you to upgrade MySql to 5 too. (1&1 has help user pages for this)

Done:

Powered by Serendipity 1.7-rc3 and PHP 5.4.12

MySQL was already at Version 5.

Everything works out perfectly, s9y is really an amazing system, and great support here as usual, thanks!
