Serendipity Forums

Ok so my isp has blocked port 80 outbound now.
SoI changed the port to 8080 http://thebatchfile.com:8080

Now look at how jacked up my site looks. What has caused this? What config should I look at?

Your stylesheet is not found. It's trying to find http://thebatchfile.com:1001index.php?/serendipity.css -- which doesn't exist. In fact, all your links are set to that :1001.

I think you need to configure Serendipity in the admin page so the "URL to your blog" is http://thebatchfile.com:8080/ -- don't forget the trailing slash!

Its ok now I had a lot to edit to :8080 and it all seems to be working now

Well Actually it works in opera and firefox but not in Internet Explorer for some odd reason. The theme doesnt seem to apply?

You must have a trailing "/" at the end of your base URL configuration directive.

BTW, blocking port 80 for websites is so FUBAR, that I can't even find words to describe how idiotic that idea is.

Anyone sniffing ports is able to detect a webserver running on that port.

you have confused me on saying there is a port 80 running?

if you do a scan this is what you will get..nothing more, nothing less.

Ok so the isp decided to not let port 80 traffice outbound, i have worked around, but why is my theme missing when its applied in internet explore and not when its viewed in opera or firefox?

Slashes dont matter.

I talked about port 8080, where everyone can see that there's a real webserver running and not just a proxy. I meant that your provider is doing strange things by blocking port 80.

About the theme: You are right, IE is not able to download your stylesheet:

http://thebatchfile.com:8080/index.php?/serendipity.css

Must be a IE bug with CSS on different ports. IE does all sorts of weird things when a webserver is not running on the same port, I don't think this is related to serendipity; you might want to try to edit your index.tpl template and use relative CSS paths instead, maybe the works around the IE bug?

What's really FUBAR is the idea that residences can't host websites. I bought a connection, not a usage agreement! I should be able to use that internet connection ANY WAY I WANT, including ways they haven't thought of yet.

I can even make a case for existing residential website hosting: home automation.

Blocking port 80. Pffft. I'd get a new ISP.
