Serendipity Forums

Hi,

i'm evaluating blog software.

I have installed serendipity now, but i can not save any changes in the configuration of the spamblock plugin!?

Anyone any idea how i can solve this "Bug" ?

Hi!

Please describe your environment - which serendipity version are you using, which browser, which type of webserver, which PHP version, which database and version?

I've never heard of any problems that a plugin configuration cannot be saved, so I'm guessing there's something wrong with either your server or maybe some missing files/corrupted files.

Best regards,

I have an account hosted by www.ohost.de.
And you can be right, that it is the setup making probs. Becausw yesterday evening it was possible to save, but this morning suddenly it stopped to work. But its so odd because all other things can be saved. Only the spamblock doesn't work :\

Hi!

Do you get an error message? To me this sounds as if mod_security or something else is happening here!

Because you suibmit possible bad words via HTTP GET/POST (all the spam words!) it might be that the server rejects your requests, even though it is perfectly legal.

Ask ohost.de if they have some word-based filtering engaged here...

Best regards,

Thank you!

You were right! The spam-words/urls were the problem. I have delted them all before saving my other changes and it worked.
The odd issue is that after saving the words/urls are not deleted oO
Hmm. The only tradeoff is that i can never change the words/urls by the admin frontend. But i think it is possible to change them directly in the database (i hope so).

Hi!

I think you can delete all words by entering an "." string there; just enough so that s9y doesn't think the field is "empty" and restores the original content...

Best regards,
