Error in www.s9y.org

I've found an error in the page, in the Plugins/Add-Ons section, a few days ago. I report about it. The error is:

What were you doing when you received this error?

If you were trying to load a new theme, then we've found and corrected the problem. Could you try again, and see if you get the same error?

i'm still receiving the error on my end.......

i wasn't trying to load a new theme. just clicked on the Plugins/Add-Ons link on the s9y site.

Ah. Sorry; I missed it. I'll let Garvin figure that one out.

no problem. i just rebuilt serendipity on a new host and went there for the plugins. idiot me didn't save the plugins from before......duh!

Is Spartacus blocked on your host? It automatically downloads the plugins, if you can get to netmirror.org or SourceForge.net.

hmmmmm......

just enabled spartacus and now i'm receiving a database error for the blog, itself, and the admin control panel. the actual error that i'm receiving is, literally, "Database_Error" and nothing else.

i had this problem before and blamed it on my previous host. is this an issue with serendipity? very frustrating, indeed.......

Well, no; at least, not for versions past 0.9 (as long as I've been around).

Can you still access your database from other tools, like phpmyadmin? The only other thing I can imagine is that your database user is not allowed to create or modify tables; Spartacus needs some database configuration to operate properly. Could you check that?

thanks for the help. i sent a support ticket to textdrive to get some info on this matter. funny, though, i never had a problem with wordpress or textpattern. does serendipity work a little different than those two?

thanks, again, for all of your help.

You can get a "database error" message, if your s9y config file (serendipity_config_local.inc.php) contains wrong userdata or is no longer readable for the webserver user...

Or, if the DB is really denying access because of connection errors.

thanks for the reply, gavin. i definitely want to use serendipity so i'll wait and see what kind of response i get from textdrive on this.

i'll update this post once i get their response.

thanks!

well, no luck. support from textdrive granted all privileges to my database and i still receive the error message. it seems to happen when i make a change in the control panel or, once, it even happened when i added a new post to my blog. i'm at a loss as to what it could be. i hate to go back to wordpress but i just can't figure this issue out.

thanks, again, for all your help.

onegear: Did you look at your serendipity_config_local.inc.php and see if that contains the right DB permissions?

Can you still use phpMyAdmin to login to your DB?

Garvin

thanks for the reply, gavin.

i don't seem to have a serendipity_config_local.inc.php. i do, however, have a serendipity_config.inc.php.

i'm not sure how to access my database with phpMyAdmin. sorry about that. all this MySQL stuff is still very new to me.

thanks!
