Hello all,

I just switched over my server to some new hardware and a fresh ubuntu install and my serendipity blogs work just fine, but every now and then I see the following show up in my apache error.log file:

[Mon Apr 04 04:08:54 2011] [error] [client <some_internet_ip>] PHP Notice: session ...

Just wanted to add my solution for this. I had the same problem with apache saying that the serendipity.css, serendipity_admin.css, etc files did not exist. My problem was that I didn't have the "AllowOverride All" option set for serendipity's root directory. Whoops.

Holy cra*. You're right! I changed the new pass to only use [a-z][A-Z][0-9] and it works now. What the heck kind of junky password system is it that can't take special chars??? Lame.

Thanks for your help guys!!

When I change the DB password it automatically creates an md5 hash of the clear-text password from the command-line (and I have verified that). So, unfortunately, no that won't fix it...

Then your pw seems to wrong. I don't know the right syntax for postgres but are you sure, you did it right?
Yep, I'm sure. I've changed many passwords like that. And, in fact, if I run the exact same command but with the old password (and also update the serendipity config file), then everything ...

Yip, I restarted my DB. Made sure the process was completely stopped as well. And then started again. Serendipity still fails to connect...

Hello all,

I have 3 serendipity blogs on my site. They all run great and I've never had any problems with them. Long story short, I've been performing some maintenance operations on my server and I noticed that the password to my serendipity database is way too simple. So I thought I would be a ...

YIKES!! You're totally right!! All the things those guys are talking about in your link match what I'm seeing on my server log. :-o

UPDATE: Okay, I'm all upgraded. Jeez, that was kinda scary. It doesn't look like I was infected. Is there a way that I could have known about this earlier than 2 days ...

I'm getting a lot of errors in my apache log file (from multiple IP addresses too) that look like this:

[Thu Dec 23 09:01:40 2010] [error] [client 41.100.226.203] PHP Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in [path]/xupv2p/htmlarea/plugins/ImageManager/Classes/Files.php on line 82, referer: https ...

That worked!! No more hundreds of errors! THANKS! =D

I'm not sure if this is an s9y bug or something I'm doing wrong (more likely =D), but I get the following warning messages in my apache error log anytime someone accesses any of my s9y blog sites.

PHP Warning: date_default_timezone_get(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings ...

Hello all. No complaints here - actually quite the opposite. I just had the absolute pleasure of upgrading my s9y blog for the first time and...well...holy moley I can't believe how easy it was!!! Unzip the tarball over existing directory, go to admin page, click "Yes please do so.", DONE ...

Dude!!! That so totally worked!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You have no idea how long that has been bugging me!! And it was so easy to fix! AWESOME! I actually made it so that it would underline the links as well:


#content a:link,
#content a:visited,
#content a:active,
#content a:hover,
#content a ...

I am wondering if there is anyway to make the hyperlinks in my blog more noticeable. I currently have a white background and the hyperlinks are just barely colored blue (and it's a thin font). I'm wondering if there is an easy way that I can just make the hyperlinks themselves bold/larger/thicker ...
