Moving to another hoster / Safe Mode Problem

[TheGuitar666]

Hi!
I have a problem in moving my blog to another webhoster. I tried to copy my serendipity_config_local.inc.php but i have no access from FTP. Due to the fact that my provider activated the safe mode recently, i have no rights to change the permissions on that file via php (fixperm.php suggestion in S9Y FAQ). Is there any other possibility to get this file or to create a new one on the new server? Maybe running the installation wizard again or sth. like that?
Thanks for your help!
Andre

Hi!

Sadly under this circumstances you have no other way of getting the file; you must contact your provider to change the permissions for you.

If it's only about the config_local, you can easily recreate it. THe file only holds the DB usernames that are required to connect to the database:

Code: Select all

<?php
        /*
          Serendipity configuration file
          Written on Mon, 12 Jun 2006 14:32:55 +0200
        */

        $serendipity['versionInstalled']  = '1.1-alpha7';
        $serendipity['dbName']            = 'serendipity';
        $serendipity['dbPrefix']          = 'serendipity10_';
        $serendipity['dbHost']            = '127.0.0.1';
        $serendipity['dbUser']            = 'root';
        $serendipity['dbPass']            = 'root';
        $serendipity['dbType']            = 'mysql';
        $serendipity['dbPersistent']      = false;

        // End of Serendipity configuration file
        // You can place your own special variables after here:
