Main Server down [UPDATE: Server is back again]
Update, July 2nd: The Server is online again!
Hey folks,
as usual when I post here, it's kinda bad news. As you may have noticed, the main server running s9y.org and board.s9y.org went down a couple of hours ago. Since engineers at the noc are expensive on weekends (200€/h), it won't come back until monday. blog.s9y.org is hosted at supersized.org and not affected (obviously). But don't worry, another server is set up and s9y.org and board.s9y.org will be transferred over to that one asap and things should run a lot smoother than in the past.
For those of you who didn't upgrade yet, here are temporary downloads for the current versions:
Update: The power adapter died and has been replaced.

I installed the blog for a friend several months ago on his webpage. I'd really like to install it on my site and have downloaded the .tar file on the first page of the blog. I can't remember what to do from here! Is there a short instruction list somewhere that is accessible while the server is down to give me just the basic install instructions? Thanks!

Google cache is your friend:

How do I install serendipity? Just download the .tar.gz to your server, unpack it inside your document root, make sure the created directory is writeable by the webserver (in most cases chmod 770 serendipity will do) and open it in your web browser. You will see the installation screen that lets you set up serendipity. You'll be up and running in about 2 minutes!

Damn, you were one second faster ;)

Hi Cheryl,
I hope you updated his/her blog since?
Anyways, what you do is:
1) download the tar file 2) decompress it 3) upload the decompressed folder to you webspace
Then you open the uploaded folder with your webbrowser, e.g. http://example.com/serendipity/ and s9y will guide you through the installation. Let me know if it worked out.

I haven't updated his blog software itself. He's on an 83 day trip in Ireland and I'm afraid to do anything to mess it up while he is travelling and posting to it.
Jannis am um :
You should update! There have been security fixes!
Cheryl am um :
It's not working! This is the error message I get when I browse to http://www.gitalife.net/serendipity/
Forbidden You don't have permission to access /serendipity/ on this server. You may need to create an index.html page or enable the directory browsing by creating an .htaccess file containing "Options +Indexes".

I got it to work! Thanks everyone!

The web address is gitalife.net. Here are the screen shots:

Ok.. It looks like the blog is installed and working somewhat. I was able to set the style to something other than the default and installed a plugin or two. Now when I try to get to the styles or plugins I'm getting error messages. I checked the other blog on my other site and I can get to those options there but not on this new site/blog. Here are the errors. Any ideas?
Trying to open URL packagesidebaren.xml... Permission deniedPermission denied
Trying to open URL package_template.xml... Permission deniedPermission denied
Thanks!!
Jannis am um :
Let us know the exact error messager, post the url of your blog or a screenshot :-)

Looks like I put the answer to your question as a reply to the wrong thread. Here it is:

Is there a more appropriate place to be doing support when the server is down? I don't want to be a nuisance in the blog!!
Jannis am um :
No this is the right place as long as the board is down :-) I'm not sure, but it looks like serendipity can't fetch the package_template.xml file? Can you find it through FTP? What permissions does it have?
Anonym am um :
There is no file with that name. I searched the unpacked folder on my computer. The same one that I uploaded.
Anonym am um :
Jannis,
Since the boards are back I'll take this issue over there.
Thanks!!
Jannis am um :
Yep, I'll close comments on this entry :-)
RST am um :
Good luck with the server. I hope it doesn't cost you guys too much time and money to get it back running.
Jannis am um :
Yeah it's prolly more a time than a money issue. But thanks to sistrix.com a second server is already in place so s9y.org and board.s9y.org can move over...
