Well, you're right. It seems that my database has been deleted. Not by me, but by someone who hacked into my site, read the config file that you mentioned and deleted the database without any event log being written to. I'm, not sure what I can do, other than starting over. The database, along with ...

I now get this when I try to access my site. Any clues? Query failed: SELECT e.id, e.title, e.timestamp, e.comments, e.exflag, e.authorid, e.trackbacks, e.isdraft, e.allow_comments, e.last_modified, a.realname AS author, a.username AS loginname, a.email , e.body, e.extended FROM serendipity_entries ...

That did the trick! I had to also change the hashtype from NULL to 1 after the second upgrade, but I was now able to log in. Not sure how the first upgrade didn't add the tables, perhaps it didn't copy correctly. Glad I copied the files, not just ran the force upgrade, it would have probably been th...

Ok, I copied the files back over the existing files via FTP. But in hitting the site it doesn't prompt me to perform an upgrade like normal (I guess because I did it before). How do I force an upgrade?

I performed an upgrade a while back. I'm now running Serendipity 1.5.2 and PHP 5.2.5 with a MySQL database Version 5. In the serendipity_authors table I don't see a hashtype column. I also used SHA1 (which is my only choice) to reset the password and yet I still can't log in. Any other ideas?

Hi! You need to use a database tool like phpMyAdmin t access your serendipity_authors table.There you can edit your admin user's account and enter a newMD5-encoded password (enter your password and choose "Md5"from the function dropdown)l. Regards, Garvin I tried this on one of my website...

That was it. Thanks for your help. Not sure why he had it, I will probably change to something else. Thanks again.

Yes, I have loaded to three different web sites so far and get the same results. I downloaded/installed using SPARTACUS and here is a testing site where you can see what I am talking about.

In the xcur theme, what is the image that is not showing up in the corner of postings? I think I hovered over once and is said something like PostDateIcon. Where do I configure this? or at least get an Avatar or theme image to show.

Wow, that's what I thought. It shouldn't matter, but since physically removing the unused plugins from the plugin folder, my site now loads faster and I'm no longer having the error. Must be serendipity, like the software name... Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers somethin...

Well, I tried upgrading to the latest version, but still no help. It was still erroring off now and then with the "too many database connections" error message. I started to upgrade the plugins so that they would be up-to-date as well and noticed that it reported that I needed to upgrade a...

I've been using s9y for 2+ years now with no major problems to speak of. The product just works and works well. However in the past month I have been receiving this error just hitting the home page and sometimes trying to login. Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /home/serendipity/inc...

Well, it is winter. At least for us here in the Northern Hemisphere. You want to see snow, come to Park City, Utah (site of the 2002 Olympics) where I am this week.

I guess no one is going make the Guest Book spam un-friendly. I starting to get about 5 per hour. My only recourse is to uninstall. Good bye Guest Book.

Word to the wise. Don't install this plug in!

Have a Happy Holiday!
