local install isn't working

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu May 12, 2005 3:03 am

System
---------
Win XP
Apache 1.3
PHP 5.0.2
Postgre 8.0

But when I go to http://localhost/

<html>
<head>
    <title>Personal blog </title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
    <meta name="Powered-By" content="Serendipity v.0.8" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost\/index.php?/serendipity.css" />
    <link rel="alternate"  type="application/rss+xml" title="Personal blog RSS feed" href="http://localhost\/index.php?/feeds/index.rss2" />
    <link rel="alternate"  type="application/x.atom+xml"  title="Personal blog Atom feed"  href="http://localhost\/index.php?/feeds/atom.xml" />


</head>

<body>

<div id="serendipity_banner">
    <h1><a class="homelink1" href="http://localhost\/">Personal blog</a></h1>
    <h2><a class="homelink2" href="http://localhost\/">My little place on the web...</a></h2>
</div>

<table id="mainpane">
    <tr>

        <td id="content" valign="top"><!-- CONTENT START -->


<!-- ENTRIES START -->
    

                No entries to print
        
    <div class='serendipity_entryFooter' style="text-align: center">
    
            (Page 1 of 1, totalling 0 entries)
    
    
    
    </div>
<!-- ENTRIES END -->

I think it has something to do with the way the links are getting translated. Any help will be appreciated.

You seem to have entered "\" in your path configuration. Only use "/" forward slashes in your config.

I don't remember putting '\' anywhere in the configs.

Here's my local config...

Code: Select all

<?php
	/*
	  Serendipity configuration file
	  Written on Wed, 11 May 2005 19:35:51 -0500
	*/

	$serendipity['versionInstalled']  = '0.8';
	$serendipity['dbName']            = 'sd_blog';
	$serendipity['dbPrefix']          = 'serendipity_';
	$serendipity['dbHost']            = 'localhost';
	$serendipity['dbUser']            = 'sd_blog';
	$serendipity['dbPass']            = 'sd_blog1';
	$serendipity['dbType']            = 'postgres';
	$serendipity['dbPersistent']      = false;

	// End of Serendipity configuration file
	// You can place your own special variables after here:

?>

I can't seem to find the path in any of the *.php or *.php.inc files.

I've figured it out... Thanks for the help..

For some reason these entries were set in the serendipity_config table in my database.

serendipityHTTPPath = "\/"
and the baseURL = "http://localhost\/"

I manually updated these entries and everything is working fine now.
