Yahoo! Small Business hosting - posts don't post!

[shuste73]

I am trying to set up Serendipity on my Yahoo! Small Business account. The file copy went fairly smoothly (they don't like files that start with "."), but I managed to get it done and you have to use "mysql" instead of "localhost" as the server.

I got that far, Serendipity looked like it was working, then it wouldn't keep me logged in (so I checked the box that says "save information"), then I tried to create a post and it magically disappeared!

I went to phpMyAdmin and looked - the users I created are in my database but none of the entries were written. So Serendipity can write users but not entries?

I went back to phpMyAdmin and manually entered a row in the "entries" table, went back to my blog, and it STILL wasn't there.

I have Serendipity running on my personal Slackware server, so I have a clue. It just won't work right on Yahoo! Small Business webhosting.

Any ideas? Anyone done this before?

Thanks.

I have no access to the Yahoo! Servers. But it seems that they are not using cookie based sessions for PHP. Without that, Serendipity cannot work, we depend on a working Session environment.

If you created an entry in your serendipity_entries table and it doesn'T show up, you must have made a wrong entry. Give us the SQL dump of that entry, I'll tell you what's wrong.

(Most presumable a wrong or missing timestamp or a wrong "isdraft" attribute)
