You mean this /serendipity_admin.php?serendipity[adminModule]=configuration ?
Do you have any console javascript errors?
F12 opens the Browsers "Developer Tools Area" - Tab 'Console' shows notices and errors.

That's only in specific browsers on specific OSes, though. (For instance, the same on OS X in Chrome would be ⌥ + ⌘ + J.)

While we're at it, which browser are you using, HiCotN? If you have multiple browsers available, does this happen in all browsers?

That is virtually impossible. A lot of the backend and frontend in s9y depend on this file being present. Never delete it.

No. They will tell you what you need to change once the blog has been moved to the new server, I assume.

I am not sure what you mean with 'place them in the"/public_html" directory'. Place what?

Hmm, its all /home/content/i/l/o/iloveprecise/html/. The file serendipity_admin.php is accessing and so the actually install should be ok, I think. (I could not find where the frontend or embedded content takes place and you site fails with that message, though.) Did you change the db credentials in the serendipity_config_local.inc.php file to localhost, which btw seems strange to have in a big hosters environment as such?
If you access your database administration tool, phpmyadmin or some other, does it work with 'localhost' and the new password too? For me the localhost HOST indication seems like a mistake and should be set to something similar to $serendipity['dbHost'] = 'p3nl50mysql13.secureserver.net';.

You may test having a working configuration by yourself, by testing the mysql connect addding a temporary file to your domains http root, eg 'mytestconn.php' with this value

Code: Select all

<?php
    mysql_connect("yourHOST", "yourUSERNAME", "yourPASSWORD") or die(mysql_error());
    echo "Connected to MySQL<br />";
    mysql_select_db("yourDATABASE") or die(mysql_error());
    echo "Connected to Database";
?>
and access it yourself.
Try with different seetings.
Does it access? Do you get errors?

All other environment and path questions may get answered by your hosters supporter only.

Ah.., so you want to work in/with new.preciseassemblies.com subdomain any further?

If you change the full path and even the http path, Serendipity and Smarty need to know this, else Smarty will not be able to load the template files. In the "s_config" database table you can set this in these two config options, to:

Code: Select all

serendipityHTTPPath 	/
serendipityPath 	    /home/iloveprecise1/public_html/
The serendipityHTTPPath could also be /new/. This depends where the sub domain installation actually resides.

You would also may have to need to look into the .htaccess file to edit any path related settings.

Entry text internal entry links like images, would need to know these changes to the domain path too, which may force some work within the database dump in "s_entries".
So the question stays: Is that really your goal?

Ian
