Do you remember which button you clicked? :-D

It seems that you've changed your serendipity configuration and the database name might be empty?

Check your serendipity_config_local.inc.php file and see if the information there is allright?

doesn't let me download it - gives me a permission denied error, and doesnt give me permission to change the permissions!

oh bugger :)

I can't remember what I clicked either :lol:

the admin page is also looking a bit dodgy - doesn't let me log back in and it's gone to all caps

You can fix the permissions of that file by looking at our FAQ on www.s9y.org - there's a fixperm.php script you can run to adjust permissions so that you can download/alter that file.

Did you upload fixperm.php to your host and call it via http://www.10yetis.co.uk/yetiblog/fixperm.php?

Only after that the permissions should change!

Alternatively, you could write a php script like this:

Code: Select all

<?php
echo htmlspecialchars(file_get_contents('serendipity_config_local.inc.php'));
?>
Uplaod that as 'showperm.php' and call it via your browser; you should then see the file contents of the local file and see if they are right.

Don't forget to remove that showperm.php file after that, or else anyone can see your username/password of the database.

Hi Toves

I love the design of your blog - really original.

Would you consider making a version of it that you could release as a Serendipity theme? I'm sure there are many users that would really appreciate it.
