Thanks Chiang:

I downloaded serweb_2004_07_27 from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ser/latest/contrib/, and it seems to have column 'perms' in two tables: 'pending' and 'subscriber'. Also, password is correctly set to 'heslo' in config.php, so I don't know where these incosistencies come from.

It looks like there's a serious version mismatch here. Can anyone comment on this, or report their experiences with ser and serweb? I'm currently unable to operate serweb (both 27_07_2004 version and from CVS) with ser 0.8.14

Thanks, -- Socrates.

Hi Socrates, I got mine working using ser 0.8.14-fc2 (download the latest stable version from CVS and I compile the RPMs using the SPEC file for Fedora Core 2) and I use serweb_2004_07_27. I also use MySQL-4.1. I'm not expert enough to nail down your problem, however these are the issues I had and how I got round it: 1) I need to change the password for SER and SERRO into the old format (e.g. set password=OLD_PASSWORD('heslo') ) 2) I install MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.23-0.i386.rpm to get libmysql.so.10 3) the 'perms' column in ser subscriber table was dropped. So I modify the ser_mysql.sh script to get that column back in otherwise my serweb will have problem logging in.

Hope this is useful.

cheers Chiang
