I am trying to move my s9y to a new server... but something is just so odd. Anyhow, I decided to install a brand new installation on my new server just to see if s9y works on that new server.

I got the initial Serendipity Installation screen, and there doesn't seem to be any errors (just yet).

Code: Select all

-----
PHP installation 
Operating system Linux 2.6.9-022stab078.14-enterprise, i686 
Webserver SAPI apache2handler 
PHP version >= 4.1.2 Yes, 5.1.2 
Database extensions MySQL, MySQLi 
Session extension Yes 
PCRE extension Yes 
GDlib extension Yes 
OpenSSL extension Yes 
mbstring extension Yes 
iconv extension Yes 
zlib extension Yes 
Imagemagick binary  Not found [?] 
-----

After installation, which seems smooth and normal... and when I tried to open the blog and admin page. I get this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/XXX/html/plugins/serendipity_event_freetag/serendipity_event_freetag.php on line 939

I want to move s9y to the new server but I can't even get a fresh copy to run on it. Any one has an idea on this? Thanks so much!

Well, that sounds like a problem in the uploaded files. I can't say (yet) whether that was a problem during the upload or before.

However, you can get past it by removing the plugins/serendipity_event_freetag directory (or just its contents).

Incidentally, which version of Serendipity are you installing? My serendipity_event_freetag.php doesn't have a } on its line 939. It's not usually included with the standard plugins, either...

thanks! it does fix the problem... however, however, now i can't use the freetag plugin in the new installation anymore... i will post the issue in another thread.
