Serendipity Forums

I wanted to rename my Serendipity directory from "serendipity" to "blog". Looking over the site, I found the illustrated instructions from the FAQ page and followed the instructions very carefully. Everything seems fine, except for 1 glitch which is the following:

Before when I typed the URL:

http://mywebserver.com/~username/serendipity/

the front page loaded fine. Now however, I get an error message stating that I don't have permission to access /~username/blog/

I can get access fine when the same URL ends with index.php

The same thing happens when I hit the Weblog link on the administrator page of my blog.

I don't see any obvious changes in the permissions on the various files - any thoughts on what could be going wrong here?

Just an update. If I go back to my SQL and change the "blog" back to "serendipity" and then change the folder name back to serendipity, everything works normally again. No permissions were changed along the way, so I'm still don't know why the name change didn't work, unless there's 1 more thing that needs to be changed besides those three directory entries?

Edit your directory in your .htaccess.

You should change from DirectoryIndex /serendipity/index.php to DirectoryIndex /blog/index.php
