no admin section

Post by mrnegitoro »

Hi,

I just install v0.8 and I don't seem to have an admin section. I saw something briefly about "bad tar ball" but I can find any solid info on it in the forums. This is quite perplexing...

:shock:

What's your URL? Make sure you extracted all files with subdirectories properly. You should have a file called 'serendipity_admin.php'.

You can also try to download the .zip release file on http://www.sf.net/projects/php-blog :)

Ah ha! I do have a serendipity_admin.php.

The link on the index page wants to go to http://www.gpdn.ca/mrnegitoro/blog/admin

When I sign in at serendipity_admin.php the style sheet seems to be missing.

Weird. :?

It seems you have set "URL Rewriting" in your Configuration section to either "Apache Errorhandling" or "mod_rewrite" but your host does not support this.

Switch the option to "None" and stylesheets et all will work.

Duh on me. I had a feeling that was it. And that is covered on the forums. Sorry I am tired and lazy. I am the host so I can fix that. Thanks for your time!
