Serendipity Forums

I am having to move to a different hosting provider. Their support 'migrated' my serendipity site to their server and I am getting this error when I access the site:

Cannot write to directory /home/sites/19a/8/85da469e6a/public_html/wl/templates_c/. Please check the permissions.

This path is from my old provider. Any ideas where to go from here.

Thanks

Your content probably is now under a completely different directory path at the new provider. Check Admin -> Settings -> Configuration, Paths, Full path, and change it to the actual location of the s9y installation.

So, the fix was to go into the serendipity_config sql table using phpmyadmin and update the serendipityPath setting to the correct value.

Ah right, I should had mentioned that as "getting this error when I access the site" implies that even going to Admin was not possible. Sorry.
Glad you solved it.
