I installed the blog and now I can't access my web stats...

I installed Serendipity into my host. In order to access my stats, I must enter www.url.net/stats. However, it brings up my blog. Did I not install properly and can I change it? Thanks.

Hi!

Save a .htaccess file in your 'stats' directory and enter:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine Off

in that directory. That will prevent serendipity from taking over that subdirectory.

Or ask your provider to install the stats into a different subdomain, of a domain where serendipity is not installed in. To support URL rewriting, it needs to take over all *.htlm URLs by default when using mod_rewrite.

Thanks! Now...Can you tell me how I can upload that file? Ha
I'm on OS X and it doesn't allow you to see them unless you unhide all system files. If you know...

Also, I tried to disable this in my FTP client but it's still not showing.

Hi!

Sorry, I don't use Mac OSX, so I can't advise.

pdc215,

An idea that might work depending on your ftp client;
1 Create the file as "htaccess".
2 Upload it to your host via ftp.
3 Within your ftp client rename it to ".htaccess".
