This is after going to the admin page and trying to fill everything out. I do have a serendipity database created and the username/password is setup to access it and using mysql commands, I am able to login to the database. (IE mysql -u serendipity -p -D serendipity)

Any Ideas?

Checking the /var/lib/mysql/serendipity/ to see what tables are getting created by the installation.

It appears that only category, config, css, and suppress tables are getting created.

Am I doing something wrong or missing something? Should I just wait for the "official" release?

NO SUPPORT FOR ME!...

oh well... I really like the interface you have for serendipity so far.. I guess I will just come back later when you actually release something.

Keep up the good work.

Hehe, easy easy, you get your support

Perhaps the cvs co didn'w work out well, sf has problems withthe anon cvs server at the moment, sometimes things are missing, sometimes the files are way too old...

You'll have to wait another few days, if you want a release. If you feel adventurous, drop me an email and I'll send you the current CVS snapshot...

I am having the exact same problem. Serendepity creates 'serendipity_category', 'serendipity_config','serendipity_css','serendipity_suppress' and that's it. The install page doesn't report any errors and when I click the link to view my newly created blog I get: "Query failed: Table 'chadke.serendipity_entries' doesn't exist"

I've tried both 0.3 and the 200311171337 CVS.

The script that sets up the database appears to not be working in some cases. Unfortunately, in my case, it's not reporting back any errors. Is there a detailed blueprint of how the tables should be set up so I could perhaps do it manually until the issue is resolved?

weird - I will try to look into this today or tommorrow.

Cool. Let me know if you find and correct the bug so I can give Serendipity another try.

This appears to be a SQL syntax problem (perhaps with the Primay Key syntax). I copied the db.sql file and tried to execute it myself (after replacing {PREFIX} and whatnot). I got all sorts of errors. So, I went to MySQL.com and rewrote the SQL syntax as best I could based upon their online documentation. I'm no SQL expert, but here's the db.sql that worked for me. You may want to compare it with the one in CVS and see if you can find where the bug was/is:
