It seems you made the upgrade wrong.

Read http://www.s9y.org/11.html#A12 and http://www.s9y.org/11.html#A13 please.

Slightly diffrent error message

I just did my first clean installation of Serependity 0.9.1 for a test drive -- no upgrade, and I received essentially the same message as the author of this thread, after I tried to access my homepage:

/You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-1_entries AS e LEFT JOIN s9y-1_authors a
His error was that a certain table didn't exist. Mine is supposedly a syntax error. I have checked my hosts server info, and the MySQL version installed is 4.0.25-standard-log. I have followed the steps supplied through the links above by garvinhicking, but all I get after is a 404 error message.

Any further help would be greatly appreciated, as at this point -- with my lacking knowledge of SQL -- I have no clear idea what to do.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alphonse!

You chose to use "s9y-1" as your DB prefix. That is an invalid name in SQL terms. Reinstall and name the prefix "s9y_1".

Serendipity does not encode invalid special characters, because that is not portable through oterh DB systems we support like postgresql. I'm sorry for not stating clearly that only [a-z0-9_] should be used for dbPrefixes.

Garvin

Ah ... such a trivial thing! Thank you for saving me from my ignorance.

Now, if Imay require your assistance again: I am having a problem with themes. After the installation a "blank" theme showed up, and it seems to be impossible to change. I've tried changing the access permissions of the templates folder but not one of the settings works -- I've set it back to the 0775 default.

I don't know if the problem is with the cache -- and If it is, I really don't know to set it up.

Glad to could help you with that.

Can you tell me what exactly you mean with 'blank' template? can you make a screenshot? And are you using serendipity 0.9.1 with the spartacus plugin?

Garvin

I couldn't find to way upload attachments here so, here's a link to a screenshot: scr1

Or better yet, you may feel free to visit the homepage.

I can access the style management section through the backend, but no matter which style I attempt to install, no effect at all appears at the frontend.

And yes, I am using the latest 0.9.1 release -- not so sure about the spartacus plugin. I do know that I'm using the default installation though -- nothing downloaded and nothing hacked yet.

Did you read http://www.s9y.org/11.html#A21 ? Check your setting for the 'Embed' mode in s9y configuration.

I upgraded from a nightly version of 9 to the stable 9.1 and was getting the same error message as the original poster. I tried several things recommended in the FAQ - no luck. Then I decided to try random changes to my blog configuration, and immediately stumbled on the solution:

I just had to turn Autodetect used HTTP-Host to "no". Now it's fine.

Just posting this in case anyone else ever has the problem.
