It seems you did not do a complete backup. The behaviour you get can happen if the file serendipity_config_local.inc.php was not saved and restored. The file holds the configuration data to access your blog.

It should look like this, you can create it manually:

Code: Select all

<?php
        /*
          Serendipity configuration file
          Written on Tue, 29 Mar 2005 16:16:27 +0200
        */

        $serendipity['versionInstalled']  = '0.8-beta5';
        $serendipity['dbName']            = 'serendipity';
        $serendipity['dbPrefix']          = 'serendipity_MERGE_';
        $serendipity['dbHost']            = 'localhost';
        $serendipity['dbUser']            = 'root';
        $serendipity['dbPass']            = 'whowantsmypassword';
        $serendipity['dbType']            = 'mysql';
        $serendipity['dbPersistent']      = false;

        // End of Serendipity configuration file
        // You can place your own special variables after here:
?>
