On upgrading my version 1.2 the installation went into a loop by telling me serendipity found a new version and wanted to install.
After clicking on 'upgrade' the adminpannel shows up that states everything went oke and i didn't have to make anny extra changes.
Clicking on the button 'to new version' i landed on the page that stated there was a new version, then back to the adminpannel and so on.
I checked, double checked and could not found the answer to the problem. Until, i thought it might be a problem with the system knowing it had a new version installed and ready.
Checking the config files and in the file serendipity_config_local.inc.php the versionnumber indeed was still 1.2
Changed the number, saved the file and uploaded it to the server.
Problem fixed. Checked the blog and it seems everything is a oke.
Hope to have helped someone with the same problem.
Grts,
Tonnie

Re: upgrade version 1.2 to 1.3 installation loop
Hi!
Usually this only happens if serendipity_config_local.inc.php is not writable for the PHP server, and you suppress PHP error messages that might have notified you about this.
I thought the upgrade had a check if that file was writable, wasn'T there any output regarding this?
Anyways, thanks for putting a pointer here.

Garvin

After changing serendipity_config_local.inc.php manually, to get my blog working again I checked, if S9Y was right, by telling me all the writing permissions are met. All I can see is that apache is only allowed to access and execute this file, but not read it. On our server we work with ACL¹, maybe that's a hint.

Hi!
Hm, that sounds like serendipity_config_local.inc.php is really not writable. Can you temporarily give it 777 privileges to see if apache/php can write to it?

Hi!
Hm, s9y uses the PHP "is_writable" function...if that would return true, but write access is notgiven, I wonder how else we could check it?!
