Hi bluelayer!

No problem, the versions don't matter. Everything will rune fine with Serendipity without a change in the code.

Just upload all files, upload a whole DB SQL Dump with your data, apply permissions as on the old host, edit serendipity_config_local.inc.php and the DB table serendipity_config to contain all the new path settings.

Then you're done

mysqli extencion from php5 will not cause problems ??

You can compile mysqli for PHP4 without problems, yes.

Really? Are you sure about that?

Tom: I haven't tried it myself, but I heard from a guy who said it would work...

Otherwise, you can still use the plain mysql extension to connect to Serendipity on your server...the DB layout is the same.

You can't succesfully use the mysql extension with MySQL 4.1 -- as far as I know -- since MySQL 4.1 uses diffirent auth mechs than 4.0

I'm not entirely sure about this though, I've never really played with mysqli or MySQL 4.1

You can. phpMyAdmin uses that, and on my machine I am using PHP4.3.10+MySQL 4.1+mysql extension for playing with Serendipity.

try to update the mysql server to the last version 4.1.9 and your mysql extencion will not work! if you have upgraded from mysql 4, yes it is possible to use 4.1.9 version on php 4(use old password format comand ...). form 4.1.7 mysql version is not possible to use mysql extencion of php 4.
And the mysql dump form my mysql 4.1.9 is NOT compatible whith the new server (mysql 4.0.20), i'm getting errors, i will ned a new instalation of blog...

bluelayer,

create a SQL dump with phpMyAdmin. That one is backwards compatible.

Bluelayer, with latest phpMyAdmin you can check to not export Collation sets. Then everything will be okay.
