Hi,

i have created a blog with s9y locally. As the weblog reached the desired look, i have uploaded all the files to the webserver and overwrote the remote database with my local one.

I changed the paths as described by Azel (http://www.s9y.org/198.html). But it seems that there are a whole lot of entries in the database that contains the old paths. (the paths to the plugins, to the images etc. are the old ones).

For me it's a non natural behaviour. Especially the frequent usage of absolute paths seems strange to me. Working with relative paths would be much more comfortable.

I don't know whether it's a problem with respect to the plugins or it's a problem with s9y?

I appreciate any comments!

With best regards and thank you for this great piece of software

Depart from the discussion about path handling, you could investigate your database dump within an editor, to copy/paste or rewrite all required path set in config, entries and/or other tables.

Thanks for your quick reply. Changing the paths solved the problem, of course. I have written a little bash-script that does the job for me.

I used this as an opportunity to write the first post in my blog. You find a detailed description of my solution on

Unfortunately it's written in german. Maybe it helps others who face the same problems!?

best regards

Well done!

If you really caught all replacements well, maybe you could post this as an commented example to the doumentation wiki, section upgrading/installation (there is a german one too). Or ask Garvin to include it for you.
