After fresh install the login with Admin does not work

[runery]

Hi

I have installed serendipity 1.3.1, using mysql 4.1 and php 4.4.9. Apache 2.2 and windows Vista. I have done a fresh install the quick way and the advanced way. I then log on to my admin portal and it works fine, but everytime I click on a link I am redirected to the login screen where I login again and get to the welcome screen again. Can not do anything

I have also tried to upgrade my old site: www.wiigryen.com on the environment above. Then I had to use my old password to login and not the one I gave (strange?) in the upgrade process but then it worked.

I am also experiencing that firefox don't work at all. CSS don't show, links don't work. I am using a norwegian version of firefox...

I guess I will just use the upgrade version further on but I would like to start from scratch.........

One last problem. In the upgrade process it seemed like some tables didn't have alle the columns. Tables that had to do with pictures, uploads and stuff. Is this a known problem? In my old installation I used blog_ instead of serendipity_ as my prefix on tables.

Thanks
Rune

This sounds very much like the usual Session problem. Please check your PHP configuration if you set session.save_path to a valid and writable directory.

What do you mean? In the upgrade process you never have to enter a password.

I am also experiencing that firefox don't work at all. CSS don't show, links don't work. I am using a norwegian version of firefox...

http://www.wiigryen.com/blog/ looks the same to me in Firefox and IE, and the CSS does seem to get loaded...?

You did perform an UPGRADe and not a NEW installation, right? The way to perform an upgrade is outlined in detail in the FAQ on www.s9y.org...to me it sounds you did not perform an upgrade, but re-installed serendipity. This will leave tables in their old state, because s9y never overwrites existing tables in installation mode. Only in upgrade mode it alters tables.

Hi

Thank you for the answer. Now I have managed to update to the most recent version. The trouble I had with fresh install is no longer relevant for me.

Do you have any idea why when I am making thumbs it just generates empty files?

Thanks.

Runery,

do you have a linux or windows server? Thumbnails need the PHP GDlibrary enabled, or alternatively imagemagick installed on your server.

Hi

It is hosted by a provider, www.webdeal.no, and it is linux but it does not say which linux it is. I can try to ask them if they have PHP GDlibrary enabled or imagemagic. I can not control the php installation I think.

Thanks.

My hosting company says DDlibrary is activated.

I get these error messages when uploading:

Can you tell what is wrong here? Has to do with the making of thumbnail pictures. I can use my pictures in full size.

Thanks.

Hi!

When gdlibrary is enalbed, go to your s9y configuration and set "Use ImageMagick" to "no".
