Could not connect to database; check your settings.

If you get errors like this it means your MySQL database is not up and running probably. Talk to your hoster to fix connection issues.

It has nothing to do with folders, it's just the Database malfunctioning.

Serendipity automatically creates the tables in the DB. Only the DB itself must exist (empty database).
