Moving Serendipity from one server to another

[Ryanx0r]

Hey,

I have serendipity installed on a slackware linux box. Seeing as though I'm upgrading to a faster OpenBSD box, I was wondering how I would go about moving serendipty to that new location.

Now, what I've done up til now is backup the mysql database from the old server, and put it in the new server (so all databases are in the new server). I then backup up all my www files (so serendipity included) and moved it to my new server.

Now it SHOULD just work I'm thinking, seeing as the the sql is ok, and the files are ok.. but when i try and goto my blog on the new server i get an INCLUDE_ERROR.

What can be done about this? And have I moved everything correctly. ie: Is it ok to just move everything? or do I need to install it again?

Please read the FAQ.

Oh sorry about that. I did skim the FAQ.. but apparently I seemed to have missed that one point.

Thanks

Ok, so after the move (and it didnt go as smoothly as I thought it would).. I still have a problem with logging in to my blog.
I click on the Administration link to login.. then i supply my username and password, it welcomes me.. and then when i say.. click on "Configuration" it takes me page to where I need to login again. I can only stay logged in when i check the remember me checkbox (which is odd).
It seems to forget me.. now if this is caused by bad cookies? or what not.. I have little to no clue.. any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

This can be caused if your PHP server doesn't have Session support properly enabled.
