Serendipity Forums

Hello,
First thank you for writing and maintaining sweet opensource code!

I am trying to set up serendipity using the beta code (because my I visit my site to maintain it an order of magnitude more then I get visitors) but some of the links go nowhere.

For example I created an article and a category for that article but none of the article or category links work. In the directory structure I saw that none of the directories needed were created so I ran mkdir archives, chmod +775 archives (apache is the group for the directory) and entered a new entry but no file was created in the archives folder.

How do I get the authors, categories, and archives links to work with the beta code?

Thanks again,

Oh, I forgot to say that I had to manualy type serendipity_admin.php to log in for the first time because all the links (including the css links) were broken too. After I logged in and changed the default theme thoes links began to work. The other links mentioned above still do not work.

Hi!

Actually, s9y does not store any files on the disk. All URLs are "virtual" and read content frmo the database.

What you describe sounds a lot like this FAQ: http://www.s9y.org/11.html#A13

So you might just enter your s9y configuration screen and set URL Rewriting to "None", because it seems your server doesn't support "pretty URLs".

HTH,

Thank you! That was totally it!
I just edited my httpd.conf file to inform apache that there are .htaccess files to be read for that directory and things worked again.
I just added: and things were bueno again!

Thanks!
