Erase your .htaccess file, go to Serendipity Configuration and do not choose "mod_rewrite" or "Apache Errorhandling" for the URI Rewrite option. Instead choose "none".

You get the error message because you specified one of the other options without your host supporting mod_rewrite or .htaccess AllowOverride ALL.
