You mentioned in another post that you were using a serendipity installation from RVSiteBuilders - they have chopped Serendipity up according to their own ideas, so you may need to contact them directly for assistance.

If you can create and connect to your own database, and ftp files, you would be better off getting rid of that version of serendipity and directly installing it yourself.

Hi!

Also, check your browser for javascript error messages. It seems when you save their config, they reset the "Use WYSIWYG"-Editor.

i tried to upgrade serendipity manually but i faced to SQL database error,though i had backed up my db folder and replace it after manual upgrading,
can you tell me more details about manual upgrading?i followed the procedure is indicated in blog...i overwrited new version files with previous ones and replaced db folder with previous one,
so,how should i get rid of sql error refering to database files in "included" folder...unfortunately i can't risk to repeat manual upgrading and tell the exact error phrase...

Hi!

Why did you try to upgrade s9y manually? What did you do? This should never be required. Did you read the FAQ on upgrading and how to revert when an upgrade failed with $serendipty['versionInstalled']=

Backing up files can be done via FTP, by copying the whole serendipity directory...

When you update Serendipity by uploading a fresh release, all existing plugins will not be touched. You only overwrite existing files, so you would never loose files.
