1.2: cannot find serendipity_admin.css

[freggy]

I upgraded from serendipity 1.1.3 to 1.2 (svn branch version).

Whatever template (bulletproof, or something else) I select in Serendipity, the administration panel looks ugly, and in the web server logs, I see it is looking for an inexsting css file: File does not exist: /var/www/html/test/serendipity/serendipity_admin.css

I could not find this file anywhere, it's not part of the official 1.2.0 tarball.

What could be wrong?

All of the files may not have been uploaded when you upgraded. Try uploading all the files again, especially the /templates/default folder.

Hi!

Serendipity_admin.css is a virtual file that gets rewritten to serendipity.css.php using mod_rewrite or ErrorDocument handlers.

you might need to check your .htaccess file if it contains the proper rules, or you need to disable "URL Rewrting" in your s9y configuration.

Just wanted to add my solution for this. I had the same problem with apache saying that the serendipity.css, serendipity_admin.css, etc files did not exist. My problem was that I didn't have the "AllowOverride All" option set for serendipity's root directory. Whoops.
