Serendipity Forums

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.

Okay, I will try tonight (I live in France it's 11.19AM) when I will be back home.

I'll check and then tell you if it successed..

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

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

A yes, I was just updating my post (see my last post)..
I have seen that and you're right !
I am currently uploading my new upgrated serendipity
thanks again

Youpi !

Ok all works perfectly now, I have the latest version of serendipity 0.9.1 on my weblog http://dymezac.free.fr/

It's wonderful.

Many thanks Garvin for all your help.
I was really happy because you answered me always early with my posts on the forum. If you won't be there, I could'nt reach this sucess !

Thanks a lot again

Hi!

Great to hear that. And no problem, that's why I'm here. You're welcome and have fun!

Best regards
Garvin
