blank page

[olivier]

Hello,

Just installed phpdig this morning. I have a blank page on my browser for every *.php page. I have no clue yet about this issue.

I am using FreeBSD 4.9 with apache-1.3.29_1 and mod_php5-5.0.2,1

su-2.05b# pkg_info | grep mysql
mysql-client-4.1.7 Multithreaded SQL database (client)
mysql-server-4.1.7 Multithreaded SQL database (server)
php5-mysql-5.0.2 The mysql shared extension for php

PHP is working fine for other applications. for exemple :
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
give a good result.

the only php page that I can see on phpdig is the install.php page.

Permission is 777 for all my files and I have root privilege.

Any idea?

Uncomment // echo "\n\nPath $relative_script_path not recognized!\n\n"; in the config file.

[olivier]

My config.php now look like this:

define('ABSOLUTE_SCRIPT_PATH','/usr/local/www/data/phpdig'); // full path up to but not including admin dir, no end slash
Set $relative_script_path = '/usr/local/www/data/phpdig';

if ((!isset($relative_script_path)) || (($relative_script_path != ".") &&
($relative_script_path != "..") && ($relative_script_path != ABSOLUTE_SCRIPT_PATH))) {
echo "\n\nPath not recognized!\n\n";
exit();
}

But I have still my blank screen...

And no error message like "Path not recognized"

Same thing for the search.php file. I have no error message, just a blank screen.

My config.php now look like this:

define('ABSOLUTE_SCRIPT_PATH','/usr/local/www/data/phpdig'); // full path up to but not including admin dir, no end slash
Set $relative_script_path = '/usr/local/www/data/phpdig';

if ((!isset($relative_script_path)) || (($relative_script_path != ".") &&
($relative_script_path != "..") && ($relative_script_path != ABSOLUTE_SCRIPT_PATH))) {
echo "\n\nPath not recognized!\n\n";
exit();
}

But I have still my blank screen...

[Charter]

There's no need to set/change $relative_script_path unless you are changing the directory structure.

[olivier]

Ok, charter. But why do I have a blank screen?

I can't blame the $relative_script_path attribute, thus the problem is somewhere else. Any clue?

How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks,
Olivier.

[Charter]

Who knows why you have a blank screen. Maybe a path issue, maybe a connect issue, maybe something else. Try uncommenting // error_reporting(E_ALL); in the config file and see if it says anything when you then call the search.php file.

[olivier]

Not me :(

I tried to uncomment the "error_reporting". I just can't see any output. where can I see some output normally for these error reports? Is it on the /var/log/httpd-error.log?

BTW, There is no error in this log file.

I don't understand. It seems that I am the only one who had this problem on the forum ... perphaps it is because of my version of php... Does anybody tried to use phpdig with php5?

Olivier.

[Charter]

The error reporting would show in the browser window. Maybe you are behind some intranet, firewall, or some such thing?

[olivier]

I am not behind a firewall.

But, If I was behind a firewall, I would not be able to see other php pages on this server. But I am able to see them.

I am trying with PHP4 now to see if I have the same result...

[Charter]

Try checking the httpd.log access file too and see if PhpDig related requests are being recorded.

[olivier]

yes, they are.

I have seen a post with the same problem with mysql-server-4.1.7. I don't know why I installed 4.1 and not 4.0... didn't see that 4.1 is in beta...

I have to check that also.
