Lost templates in migration

Jae · Post by **Jae** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 7:51 pm

Hi,

I've been using Serendipity for about a year now, and recently migrated my website to a new host and domain name. The migration went fairly well, once I browsed through here and figured out what I needed to do.

But I lost all the templates somewhere in the process, including the default. All of my entries are there, but the layout is just plain text (I was using MT-Rusty before). I can log in to the administrator and select a theme, but there is no change. As far as I can tell, all of the theme files are in place. I've checked all the paths in the config files and the serendipity_config table, and they're all correct.

Anyone have any ideas?

please check if you have the embedded option turned on. if its turned on, you cant see a template at all.

The embedded option is off - I had already checked on that.

I've solved the problem on my site by changing the friendly url option.
I used apache errorhandling until this week but it seems there were some changes on the server so this didn't worked anymore.
I changed this into the mod_rewrite option and now my http://blogske.be looks fine again.
The only problem left is situated in the serendipity_plugin_staticpage.php
I guess that this is also caused by serverchanges but I don't know how to solve that.
Anybody idears ?

I'm not getting any error messages, be they MySQL or Apache. The theme files are all there, as far as I can tell, but I cannot get any of them to work. The blog just shows up in plain text. Here is the link:

Any ideas?

Jae, update your Serendipity version. The bug has been fixed a few releases ago.

I upgraded from 8.1 to 8.3 - nothing changed. I have no idea what to do next.

Jae,

which PHP version are you using? Are you using mod_php or PHP as CGI?

It seems that your version does not accept setting header('HTTP/1.0 200'), which is why the CSS stylesheet returns a 404 Header, even though it properly delivers content.

You might need to turn of "URL Rewriting" in your options to bypass this behaviour, but then you can't use "pretty URLs" because of your PHP restrictions...

Regards,
Garvin

I switched from using Apache error handling to using Apache mod_rewrite, and that seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for all your patience, Garvin!
