Foolish Error

[End User]

We installed 0.8 beta today. Smooth installation, no problems.

However, we did not change or record the admin data (admin username and admin password) so that we could return to setup.

Could someone tell us the defaults via e-mail?

Much appreciated.

It's what ever you keyed in as the user name and password on the setup screen.

If you can't remember that then your next option would be to look in the db you have selected for s9y.

The default username is "John Doe" and the default password is "john"

I then deleted the program, reinstalled fresh and the following error emerged.

Thoughts? (and thanks)

Well, it says your serendipity_entries table does not exist. Seems as if your database does not contain the tables which should have been created by the install. What's in your DB?

Pease allow me to summarize what occurred:

a. Downloaded and installed 0.8 beta
b. Panel came up delineating needed changes
c. Changes made and Seredipity executed
d. Could not enter the admin control panel without default username & password
e. Deleting and reinstalling Serendipity did not restart the whole process
f. The company that owns the server offered to delete the database so I could start over.
g. Then deleted and reinstalled but then the error above occurred.
h. I do not have access to Serendipity beyond that which is there after FTP'ing the prgram

I made a subfolder named "blog" and FTP'd to it, and everything appears to work fine.

Although the old subfolder "serendipity" appears empty, I am unable to delete it.

In either case, I have the blog running and much appreciated your assistance.
