Install seemed to go fine... got all green indictors and a link to view my blog. But then it went to a blank page. I tried to go to the admin page and this is what I got.

I have no idea what it is on about. I just unzipped the files into my htdocs folder. I am running on a windows machine using xampp (apache & mysql).
What to do now??? Need help. Thanks

Hi!

It seems you are using PHP 5.3.0 - Serendipity 1.4.1 is not compatible with the new error messages of that. You need to install Serendipity 1.5-beta2 from the s9y.org snapshots to use it with PHP 5.3.0. For more, please read the blog.s9y.org message about Serendipity 1.5.

Thanks,
Garvin

Thank you for that. I should have taken a step back and looked at this. I am up and running now.
