Error "Not writableserendipity_config_local.inc.php&quo

Post by SoWhy »

Hi all,

I wanted to try out serenpidity and decided to install it on my webserver. Unpacked the package (1.0-b2) and uploaded it to my webserver. On accessing the root, the serendipity_admin.php pops up, telling me what is fine and what not. On the last line (after I chmod everything to 0777) there is the following error:

Code: Select all

Permissions
/var/www/html/s9y/ 	Not writableserendipity_config_local.inc.php
Which is funny, given the fact, that there is no such file in the package. Any idea what I can do?

TIA

In the current beta that message contains a slight graphical oddity, it should basically just read "/var/www/ntml/s9y/ Not writable". This means your folder is not writable so that s9y can create the serendipity_config_local.inc.php file!

Yes, it's fixed already in nightlies and SVN branch versions, but we don't have the time nor the pressing urgency to release a beta3 because of this ;)

I meant you could fix it in the beta2 package thats for download so people downloading it now won't have that problem. No need to release something new cause of a typo^^

Part of our policy is not to make "silent" fixes in existing releases for clarity and best user dealing, so we would need to make a beta3 release for which I don't have the time right now. The 1.0 release is to come up soon, so all of my available time goes into that...

Best regards,
Garvin
