writing entries give an error request

[amarradi]

Hello,
I've a German Weblog and I've tried to update this blog. The update crashed, so i downgrade this blog system.
It runs good, but when i try to write a new entry and click on save so i get such errormessage.
--------------------
Posting to Serendipity...
XML_RPC_Client: Connection to RPC server :80 failed.
Notice: XML_RPC_Client: Connection to RPC server :80 failed. in /var/www/web333/html/bundled-libs/PEAR.php on line 848
XML_RPC_Client: Connection to RPC server :80 failed.
--------------------
Can everyone help to fix this problem without new installation please. What i have done?
Thanks
Bye
P.S.: The Blogsystem is S9Y 1.1.4
For Downgrade i only overwrite the crashed installation, an the db i fix manually(undo the DB Changes manually )

Hi!

Where exactly do you get the "Posting to Serendipity" message? This is not coming from serendipity itself?

Where/which XML-RPC connection are you trying to utilize?

What crashed your update? I think we should first get the most recent s9y installation running on your site and work from there.

Hello,

thanks for the help.
1. The update crashed by updateting the db (i have no rights to execute following statement CREATE INDEX categoryso_idx ON {PREFIX}category (sort_order);)
And the some other problems to. The smarty.tpl was not found by the system, but it was installed
I decided to downgrade an update later because it was 4 o'clock in the morning.
After the downgrade the witing error exists.
2. The writing error cames when i write an article an click on publish. I have an plugin installed which send pings to other pinging services 'serendipity_event_weblogping' and an xmlrpc plugin 'serendipity_event_xmlrpc'
When i'm clicking on publish the system try to ping the pinging service and then it crashed
Can erveryone help me

Hi!

That's okay, if the INDEX could not be created it's not fatal. However you should really talk to your hoster to get INDEX privileges. It speeds up your blog many times.

Can you re-upgrade it, and note down the actuall error message? Be sure when you update you upload ALL files, also templates/default/ because it contains several new files.

How did you configure the weblogping plugin, to which services do you try to send announcements? Seems like you misconfigured it, because "Serendipity" shouldn't be an announcement service URL...

Hello,

The Problem is not that i couldn't create an index the main problem is that i have an test s9y 1.2 installed on the same webspace,
The slq statement return during the update! "Access dened". During the Installation -> no Problem! -> So i have the create index privileges, there is an other error in my installation
That is the reason, why i decided to the downgrade.
If you say i should update and post all my error so i will do this i trust in you.

Have i to backup my pictures? Or is my data save....

Bye!

Hi!

Oh, "Access Denied" would mean that you have a wrong DB SQL username or password! What exact message do you get?

Have i to backup my pictures? Or is my data save....

It would be safer to backup your data as well, but only to be VERY safe. Usually nothing should happen to the files.

Hello,

The Access Denied is also from the my php admin when i execute the statement manually.
There is no wrong login data....

Hi!

Again, what exactly does the error read? There must be more than just "Access Denied".

Is this still about the missing index privileges? That you can ignore, as I mentioned.

Now a have updated comletely and the blog runs very well, BUT the Admin area runs not
the create index error is this

Code: Select all

CREATE INDEX categoryso_idx ON serendipity_category (sort_order);

/ Access denied for user: 'web333@localhost' to database 'usr_web333_1'

So and if i click on the button back to blog, the blog looks looks like the old blog
The Error in the Admin Area is this

Code: Select all

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "admin/index.tpl" in /var/www/web333/html/bundled-libs/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

Can you help me to fix this problem, i overwrite the complete directory
Bye!

[amarradi]

Yeah i found the problem!!!
I discribe it:
I overwrite the complete directory, i thought it....
Filezilla and gFTP 2.0.18 does't overwrite all files---> be careful with filezilla and gFTP because they said that they overwrite but they don't do this...
Can you update the Upgrade-manual-> with a little information.
The first error is also patched with the correct data...
Thanks for your help

bye!
