Problem with mysql-functions after Install

Post by most »

Hi, I just installed the blog and everything went fine (no errors from the installer), but I'm unable to visit first page:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: serendipity_db_connect() in /[mypath]/serendipity_config.inc.php on line 224

What's wrong, did anyone have similar problems?

It seems that your include/db/mysql.inc.php file could not be included because your dbType is not set.

How did you install, which version did you install and what did you choose as dbType?

Check if you extracted the paths correctly and the file above is exissting? What is in your serendipity_config_local.inc.php file?

I installed the newest stable (recommended) version. The Installation (as Expert) went fine - the tables in mysql where created, so this should not be a problem.

The paths in the config were correctly set. I really don't get the point.

To help you further, I need to you help me by answering my questions:

* Which dbType did you select? MySQL or MySQLi?
* Is the file include/db/mysql.inc.php existing in your installation and is 6184 bytes?
* Is the file include/db/db.inc.php existing and 2299 bytes?
* What are the contents of your serendipity_config_local.inc.php file? (strip passwords).
* Are all files readable by your webserver? Did you maybe change file permissions after install?

I can easily tell you what's wrong if you're able to give me temporary FTP access...if you don'T want to do that (which I can understand) we may get further by answering the questions above.

Best regards,
Garvin
