Can't get to Admin page

[plagjer]

OK, I screwed up. I was in the Configuration link on the admin page and I modified the URL for serendipity. I forgot to put in the ending "/" so now I have one big problem.

I can't get into my Admin Page to fix the setting.

I assume it is stored in the DB, how can I fix this?
(FYI - I'm running serendipity has a value add application offered by my ISP, godaddy.com)

HELP!!!

You are looking for the serendipity_config table (if godaddy leaves the prefix standard). But I'm not familiar with godaddy's setup, so hopefully someone with some direct experience can help out.

If you have access to the database in some way I would suggest using something like

Code: Select all

SELECT name FROM serendipity_config

to see what fields exist.

If you get a "Cannot write to directory" error when you access the webpage then you are probably looking for serendipityPath, so something like

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM serendipity_config where name='serendipityPath'

will show you what it is currently set to.

Once you know that is what you want you can do something like

Code: Select all

UPDATE serendipity_config SET value='your/path/here/' WHERE name='serendipityPath';

Like I said, I don't know what tools godaddy gives you, so I'm not sure if there is an easy way to fix the problem, but if you post what you know I'll try to help (or maybe someone will post who knows more).[/code]

I fixed it with the help of another post from a month back. (Took awhile to find it.)

Thanks for help anyway.
