I just made a fresh reinstallation of Serendipity in a new directory. Everything seemed to go correctly and the site seems to be working. But "Verify installation" produces lots of errors of this form.
# plugins/serendipity_event_spamblock/captcha_a.png corrupt or modified: failed verification
# plugins/serendipity_event_spamblock/captcha_b.png corrupt or modified: failed verification
# plugins/serendipity_event_spamblock/captcha_c.png corrupt or modified: failed verification
# plugins/serendipity_event_spamblock/Vera.ttf corrupt or modified: failed verification
etc. etc.
I reinstalled some of the offending items but the messages are still there.
Question: do I ignore these messages or do they indicate that the downloaded tar file of 1.5.5 is corrupt? (Or could Serendipity still think it is 1.5.3?)

Re: New installation reports lots of errors
Hi
It depends how much different verification errors you have.
For the moment it just looks like a bad ftp upload behaviour.
Search this forum to get known what kind of errors can happen with ftp clients.
I dont think you tar file was corrupt!
And no, Serendipity knows it is version 1.5.5 now.

Re: New installation reports lots of errors
Thanks for the reply. I don't think it is the ftp client (ncftp), because replacing the files one by one doesn't eliminate the errors. I couldn't find anything relevant with search.
I'm glad it isn't the version number (I just wish I knew how you can tell - I can't see it anywhere.)!

Re: New installation reports lots of errors
How do you replace the files "one by one"? Also with your ftp-client? Always upload your file in binary mode.
Re: New installation reports lots of errors
The version number can be found in the meta head of the source code or
by viewing the admin login screen (at least with the yellow/blue default admin panel).
Yes and binary mode is the cue to search for

Re: New installation reports lots of errors
Thank you - it's possible that I mistakently changed to ascii for the upload. Anyway, I'm now able to replace the faulty files and the errors are being fixed bit by bit, so I think I'm winning.kleinerChemiker wrote:How do you replace the files "one by one"?
