Upgrading 0.7.1 to 0.9.1

[dymezac]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade my blog from a 0.7.1 to a 0.9.1, so I did what was said in the FAQ

I extracted the new Serendpipity release files over the old directory but then when I go on my blog again I have this error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: serendipity_db_connect() in /var/www/sdb/5/2/dymezac/serendipity/serendipity_config.inc.php on line 189

Do you have an idea of what the problem could be ?

thank you very much

the blog is : http://dymezac.free.fr

Hi!

Did you extract all the files iwth subdirectories? Did you make sure to overwrite existing files?

It seems as if your include/db/mysql.inc or include/db/db.inc.php file(s) could be missing.

Hello again..

I'm still trying to upgrade my serendipity since yesterday.

The problem was camoing from my provider restrictions, so now i am trying to upgrade my 0.7.1 serendipity to a 0.9.1 on my local computer, using easyPHP

I arrive to do some good thing, but still not successed with my upgrade.

Now, with easyPHP, after having started the automatic upgrade it seems that i have the 0.9.1 but i have this error message :

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "templates/default/index.tpl" in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\bundled-libs\Smarty\libs\Smarty.class.php on line 1088


Something strange is that i can access serendipity_admin.php and modify whatever i want in the configuration, and have all the beautiful new interface for the administration. I can edit posts, comments, etc.. but when i go to the weblog page, i have this error



If you have an idea, i will be very happy.

Thanks a lot

Hi!

Yes, this happens because Smarty is not required on the backend. Please check your "templates" directory, see if it is readable and see if the mentioned file default/index.tpl exists and is readable.

Also check if your serendipity path configuration is entered properly with the right serendipityPath and HTTPPath. Do NOT use backslashes there; enter your paths like "/path/to/s9y" or "d:/path/to/s9y".

Best regards,
Garvin

Hello Garvin,

thanks a lot, it worked, I have put "c:/program files/easyphp1-8/www/" in serendipityPath and HTTPPath both, and now it work.

I have still to copy it all on my providers web site. I'll tell you later if it worked good

thanks again


UPDATE :
I have just seen that I made a mistake, there was some bugs.
I had to put "http://127.0.0.1/" in the serendipityHTTPPath
and "c:/program files/easyphp1-8/www/" in serendipityPath

[garvinhicking]

Hi!

In the "HTTPPath" you should only enter "/" or "/www". It is not meant to be a full server path, but the path you see in the URL address bar of your browser!

Best regards,
Garvin
