New user installation problem

Post by bobdavis »

I got serendipity through godaddy.com and they loaded it in for me, but it has been placed in a subdirectory on my site called "serendipity" when I need it to be in a subdirectory with the name of my blog. I tried changing the name of the subdirectory manually, and through the administration options, and no matter what I do some information gets left behind, searching for the serendipity subdirectory.

Is there any way to change the subdirectory and all the information in the files pointing to it globally?

Thanks

You will need to access your "serendipity_config" database table; the full paths are stored there. You could also change it via the Admin section though!

I did that originally, but it did not change all the necessary files, for instance the media library could not find images.

The media library stores and looks for the files in the "upload" directory you specified in the config resp. the serendipity_config DB table. And if you used subdirectories those are stored in the serendipity_images table. Did you look there?

What's you're path settings now?
