I have a questions regarding the way the URLs show up.

I installed serendipity and it looks great, I have a question regarding the way the permalinks look.

/serendipity/index.php?/archives/4-My-new-article.html

I've seen some samples of websites and some of you don't have index.php? in your permalinks, how do I go abouts modifying my blog so that my URLs are SEF.

Also, is there a way to get rid of the number of each new entry? So in its final state I'd like my URLs to look like this:

/serendipity/archives/My-new-article.html or something along those lines. Just for reference, my webserver is Zeus.

The behaviour of how the links look is configured through the "URL Rewriting" option of Serendipity.

Your host needs to support .htaccess ErrorRerwritung with Apache or mod_rewrite so that you can use this! If your blog doesn't work after you set URL rewriting ot "Apache Errorhandling" or "mod_rewrite", then you know your server doesn't support it. You may then need to delete the .htaccess file, then enter your config panel again and set URL Rewriting to "none".

Also, is there a way to get rid of the number of each new entry? So in its final state I'd like my URLs to look like this:

/serendipity/archives/My-new-article.html or something along those lines. Just for reference, my webserver is Zeus.

In Serendipity 0.9 you can change the permalink configuration, yes.

I didn't even know that s9y works with Zeus (actually I don't know Zeus) -- we usually only support Apache. I don't think URL rewriting will work with Zeus, it's coded with Apache in mind.

HTH,
