Hi!

No, no, not the authorid! The "value" column, which was set to "0".

Have a look at your screenshot: There where value is "en", those are the right ones. Authorid needs to stay "0" for example.

Run this SQL querY:

Code: Select all

UPDATE serendipity_config SET value = 'en' WHERE value = '' AND name = 'lang'
After that, make sure you undo all changes you made to "authorid", so that "authorid" will be "0" again instead of "en".

The other error you get is because of URL rewriting, and a missing .htaccess file. Go to your s9y admin, go to the confoiguration and set the option "URL REwriting" to "NONE" and save the config.

Regards,
Garvin

A quick question, what is the difference between a blog and a forum and can I control who can comment on my Weblog?

A blog is meant for content coming from you, to be distributed to your readership. A forum is meant for interaction, where people can post their own content and not just reply to content.

Thanks for your help, I'm enjoying using Serenipity, I've tried a few scripts and find Serendipity the most user friendly with some nice pluggins. I have been experimenting with phpBB version 2.0.2 which has a photo album MOD, but find loading the MOD's more cumbersome and difficult than uploading pluggins for Serendipity.
