Hello everyone,

I am having trouble getting my copy of serendipity working. I set it up, and it installed, except FreeBSD kept complaining about ImageMagick, so I didn't install it. My biggest problem is that nothing works. I keep getting an Internal Server Error. My link is here:

http://blog.reaktor6.de/

Did I do something wrong? I looked in my error log, and it appears to be calling .htaccess, but nothing happens. Any advice would be nice.

Thanks!

Robert

A checklist:

does PHP work? Create a file that contains "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" and tell me it's location
did the installation work? How far did you get?
Have you set "AllowOverride All" for your virtualhost blog.reaktor6.de in your httpd.conf?
Have the GD extension compiled into PHP? If not, go to /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick and do a make install clean, that should give you image magick (type which convert to find the binary).
Do you want to give me shell access? I can have a quick look then...

Cheers,
Jannis.

As far as I know, everything looks correct. I never got imagemagick installed correctly, it always gave me errors. I am willing to give you shell access if you can help me set it up. It's on a production machine with 70+ clients, so I'm just being very careful what I install. E-mail me at rbrugman[at]mac.com and I'll create a shell account for you. I also am available:

AIM: CrashNBurnX1

I appriciate your help.

I've reinstalled about 20 times to far. I got ImageMagick installed, and I have come to the conclusion that it has something to do with the .htaccess file. I'm looking into that now. The only other thing I haven't looked into is the AllowOverride All thing.

I fixed it! Almost. It works now, I can actually view my blog. It appears to have a couple small bugs in it though. Please check it out:

http://blog.reaktor6.de

It added an extra / in the title of the blog, and there appears to be a php call or something in the lower right. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

I guess my installation works. I fixed the title by goign to the admin panel, but I have many more bugs/problems...all of which can be viewed on by blog. The URL is above.

Try the latest version please

Wow, that was a delayed response

I am running what I think is the latest verison, and everything is working fine. One feature request: upgrade install.

Yeah, an upgrader is something we need to do after 0.3

What is a good way to install a new version without erasing entries and uploads, etc? As far as I can tell, it seems if I leave the archives and uploads directories intact it should be fine. Is this correct?

Thanks.
Daniel

There is a guide to upgrading in the INSTALL file
