Serendipity Forums

I just did a hosting move and the new host moved everything from my old host to the new place. This includes MySQL databases etc. File structures are all the same, but now Serendipity doesn't work

The error if you can't see it (nameserver might not of refreshed) is:

serendipity error: could not include /home/nintendo/public_html//serendipity_config_local.inc.php - exiting.
Please create the file yourself or check permissions

It's set to 700 so it hass permissions. I also renamed the .htaccess to make sure it wasn't that interfering. I'm racking my brain over this one, any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi!

700 might depend on the old owner. The owner of the file needs to be the webserver user, not your FTP user. The webserver needs to be able to read that file, and 700 might only set read permission for your FTP user.

Ok so how can I check this? Also is that what's causing it not to be able to be read?

Hi!

You could use your FTP to change the privileges to 744, or you use FTP to change the owner of that file to the owner under which your webserver runs. Your provider/hoster will be able to tell you the owner name (usually www, nobody, apache, httpd, wwwrun or something like this)

HTH,
