Error "Not writableserendipity_config_local.inc.php&quo

Hi all,

I wanted to try out serenpidity and decided to install it on my webserver. Unpacked the package (1.0-b2) and uploaded it to my webserver. On accessing the root, the serendipity_admin.php pops up, telling me what is fine and what not. On the last line (after I chmod everything to 0777) there is the following error:

Code: Select all

Permissions
/var/www/html/s9y/ 	Not writableserendipity_config_local.inc.php
Which is funny, given the fact, that there is no such file in the package. Any idea what I can do?

TIA

In the current beta that message contains a slight graphical oddity, it should basically just read "/var/www/ntml/s9y/ Not writable". This means your folder is not writable so that s9y can create the serendipity_config_local.inc.php file!

Yes, it's fixed already in nightlies and SVN branch versions, but we don't have the time nor the pressing urgency to release a beta3 because of this ;)

I meant you could fix it in the beta2 package thats for download so people downloading it now won't have that problem. No need to release something new cause of a typo^^

Part of our policy is not to make "silent" fixes in existing releases for clarity and best user dealing, so we would need to make a beta3 release for which I don't have the time right now. The 1.0 release is to come up soon, so all of my available time goes into that...

Best regards,
Garvin

Didn't know that. Well, it's your thing. And a good thing too ;-)
