Open Administration Not Working

[lytell]

Just installed serendipity on my website golfnucleus.com/serendipity but the "open administration" link does not work i get the following:

Found

The document has moved here.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at golfnucleus.com Port 80

Help Please

Hi!

Seems that your server does not support the ErrorDocument URL rewriting, which means you either need to install mod_rewrite or disable URL rewriting.

To login, remove the .htaccess file and open a link to http://Yourblog/serendipity_admin.php that should get you there.

"Disable URL Rewriting" is selected. But same results.

You deleted the .htaccess file, right?

Where is the .htaccess file located?

[garvinhicking]

Hi!

In the main directory, where serendipity_config.inc.php lies as well. Make sure your FTP client shows files that begin with a "." -- some clients by default hide such files.

Right now the only way to get to the admin page is by typing in url: http://golfnucleus.com/serendipity/sere ... _admin.php

Hi!

What kind of server are you hosted on? It seems that some kind of mod_speling or whatever module is working here that forbids s9y to take on any URLs or tries to redirect them because of the "/admin" part in it.

Anyhow, you can access the s9y admin panel through http://golfnucleus.com/serendipity/sere ... _admin.php...

HTH,

Thanks,

I know i can get to the admin page by typing the url but I would prefer if the link worked.

It's hosted on godaddy, Linux OS, PHP 4.X.

Hi!

Maybe you can ask the godaddy support if they can show you the error log for what exactly happens with a HTTP error? I am quite certain that some module on the server is interfering, independently from serendipity.
