Lost Admin Suite & Blog
Lost Admin Suite & Blog
I had version 1.41 and uploaded all the files for 1.62 keeping the old serendipity_config_local.inc.php and my bullet template. Went to the admin suite and I get an HTTP 500 Internal Server error. I get this error also when I go to the blog at http://www.neterm.net/serendipity/index.php.
Also noticed I have no .htaccess file.
I'm reading all I can and have been trying to follow directions to restore everything.

A white page of death means some fatal PHP errors, which are logged to your http servers (apache?!) access and error.log.
Ask your ISP to get you that information, please.

Re: Lost Admin Suite & Blog
Those deprecated "Warnings" can be ignored, as they are just warnings about changed coding standards with newer PHP versions. Next Serendipity 1.7 will take care about them.
With 1.6.x versions you disable the warnings as described here: http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=18887
The other thing is that serendipity_getimagesize() fatal error in karma plugin, which stops the system with the blank page.
This indicates you haven't really uploaded a full! new Serendipity version onto your server. This is a core function which can't vanish like that. And Serendipity is working and has no problems with that!
Well, I can't really tell how you managed to upload, but you could try again with FileZilla FTP.
PS. Maybe that also might have to do with that huge! image you set to the startpage.

Re: Lost Admin Suite & Blog
Some FTP client still try to “continue” uploading a file by default instead of replacing it. That's always a good source of error – make sure your FTP client replaces/overwrites files.Timbalu wrote:Well, I can't really tell how you managed to upload, but you could try again with FileZilla FTP.

Re: Lost Admin Suite & Blog
Thanks Timbalu and yellowled. I've used FileZilla and the blog comes up and I get the login for the Serendipity Admin Suite. I can't log in to use Update but I will check the database and see what UserID and Password they have in there. I didn't change the password so I don't know what is up with that but I'm well on my way to making everything work.
I appreciate your help.

Re: Lost Admin Suite & Blog
Yes you have (parts of?) 1.6.2 now, but there still is that issue that the htaccess file has not been created successfully.
The default and bulletproof template also did not have been updated, as you can see at the login screen, which is white without styles... that may need another ftp round!
If the log then still tells you that you cannot login, this could be due to changes from md5 to hash some versions ago. Then try the script fixlogin.php, which is also mentioned in that thread above.

Re: Lost Admin Suite & Blog
As I see it is the missing htaccess which white's the login screen.
Try and upload a .htaccess file with this content:

Re: Lost Admin Suite & Blog
Thanks Ian,
The .htaccess file fixed up the admin suite login screen but it is still not liking my credentials. I don't see the fixlogin script in the replies above.
Also I have kept my old Bulletproof folder and I have been replacing the new one which is uploaded with all of 1.62 so I don't lose my blog formatting. Are there just certain files in the Bulletproof Folder I must keep?
Also I can look at my author I.D. and password using phpMyAdmin but I don't see a way of changing the password value.

Bulletproof and default have to stay like they are.
Rename your modified bulletproof to my_bulletproof and also add that name into the info.txt file.
I already posted this thread: http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=18887. Please read.
There "AFC_North" posted the fixlogin.php scripts content again.
Adjust the username and password to yours, upload, point your browser to that file and off you go.
Do not touch these settings with phpmyadmin!ed587 wrote:Also I can look at my author I.D. and password using phpMyAdmin but I don't see a way of changing the password value.
But you can verify if you already have the "hashtype" column, which is added by a db upgrade.

Re: Lost Admin Suite & Blog
I would rethink using this startpage at http://www.neterm.net/serendipity/, which redirects to /serendipity/index.php.
This might catch unwanted issues with the htaccess rules.
Code: Select all
function redirectPage() {
window.location.href= "http://www.neterm.net/serendipity/index.php";
}

Re: Lost Admin Suite & Blog
You guestbook page is found now, but there is no content delivered.
This indicates the guestbook smarty template file(s) (.tpl) are missing.
You may need to upload that plugin again with FileZilla.

Additionally your templates html head
points to
giving a html page instead of user stylesheets. How come?
I'll stop this investigation now, promised!
Code: Select all
<!-- additional user stylesheet: this can be used to override selected styles -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="user.css" media="screen" />

No Ian. I'd like to get this bog fixed up. I don't mind the shakedown.

Got this line while running fixlogin.php
/ Unknown column 'hashtype' in 'field list'Password changed.
Unfortunately I do not know what it means.

Re: Lost Admin Suite & Blog
It means the table didn't get properly upgraded... 'hashtype' didn't exist in your previous 1.4 version, but does in the latest 1.6.2 (I think it was introduced around 1.5. not sure).ed587 wrote:Got this line while running fixlogin.php

You can try to trigger the upgrade process again... simply edit the file serendipity_config_local.inc.php, change this line:
Code: Select all
$serendipity['versionInstalled'] = '1.6.2';
Code: Select all
$serendipity['versionInstalled'] = '1.4';
