Blog doesn't display tables:

[gypsyjae]

Just installed Serendipity and it looks good running on the server, but when I try to view it on a different PC all i get is text. It appears that the theme is not displaying at all, but I get the blog posts and other text. At install I got the message that everything installed, but when I look at phpMyAdmin it shows no database tables in MySQL. I looked at Serendipity Administration and it shows a different database name. Could this be the problem? How can I rebuild the database without reinstalling, or can I just change the database? I checked all permissions, but i admit there are a few things under requirements that I don't recognize, so maybe it's something obvious.

Hi!

This sounds as if in the installation you enabled URL Rewriting, but your server does not support it. This can lead to templates not finding their stylesheets or graphic files.

If s9y can be called, then there definitely are MySQL tables created. Maybe you're looking at the wrong database?

What's your URL?

Not sure if this is related, or even an issue, but the install would only finish if I choose SQLite as the database type, but elsewhere my database says it is MySQL. I would have thought if this was the problem then nothing would work.

Hi!

Hehe. Of course if you choose SQLite in the installation, this means no MySQL tables can be filled, because it does not use MySQL.

You can now either live with your SQLite installation, or delete the serendipity_config_local.inc.php and reinstall with MySQL. What errors did you get with mysql? Usually they only stem from bad account details.

As for your current problem: Login to your http://springcitymotorsports.no-ip.org/ ... _admin.php, go to Configuration and then enable the option "Autodetect HTTP-Host". Also you have currently defined "Localhost" as the default serendipity Host; instead you should better choose 'springcitymotorsports.no-ip.org' as the host.

HTH,
