Blank after upgrade (FIXED)

[kelpie47]

Hi
Just upgraded to 202 and now just get a blank page when going to either admin page or front page. i thought I'd followed all instructions correctly, any ideas please?

Maybe you need to upload all .php files in ASCII format. Make sure you've uploaded ALL .php files.

Normally, if you get a blank page:

- if it is in public area: page template path is wrong or template missing

- if it is in both public and admin area:

missing php file(s) - most likely cause
php files corrupt
there are php warning errors (reporting is silent by default).

Hi

My ftp client is set to upload in ASCII. I uploaded all files again but no change.

Can you tell me how to enable error reporting so I can try to track this down? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Here's one test:

save this as test.php and put it in your gallery root.


<?php
error_reporting(255);

Open the file with browser and you should see output

./basecode/SCRIPT_slashwork.php OK
./basecode/SECURITY_datacleaner.php OK
./basecode/SETUP_settings.php OK
./basecode/SCRIPT_connect.php OK
./basecode/SCRIPT_uncookied.php OK

DONE


Do you?

Hi

Thanks for that. I get

./basecode/SCRIPT_slashwork.php OK
./basecode/SECURITY_datacleaner.php OK

That's all

[Pekka]

OK, then the first assumption is that your basecode/SETUP_settings.php is not valid PHP. Maybe some line lacks ; in the end, perhaps quotes do not match.

Compare it to basecode/SETUP_settings_DEFAULT.php. If that does not show anything, edit line 2

error_reporting(0);

to

error_reporting(255);

and browse to gallery/basecode/SETUP_settings.php, you will see on which line the error is.

[kelpie47]

Ok, i get

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/sites/danu.co.uk/public_html/kelpiephotos/basecode/SETUP_settings.php on line 379

Which is the first line of the additional code I put in
379 $s_index_exhibition_max_thumbsize_width = "130";

[Pekka]

The real error is on the preceding line, look for extra " there.

If you can't fix it, you can PM me the contents of your settings and I'll check it for you. Other way is to fill basecode/SETUP_settings_DEFAULT.php with you data manually and change it to SETUP_settings.php when done.

[Pekka]

This was fixed by removing some extra characters which got there possibly from copy/paste process (from 2.02 release post). It's always a good idea to use NOTEPAD or some other editor which does not interpret e.g. ANSI codes.

Wrong content:


$s_index_exhibition_max_thumbsize_widthÊ=Ê"130";
$s_index_exhibition_max_thumbsize_heightÊ=Ê"130";

$s_index_exhibition_max_microthumbsize_widthÊ=Ê"45";Ê
$s_index_exhibition_max_microthumbsize_heightÊ=Ê"45";Ê

$s_index_group_max_thumbsize_widthÊ=Ê"130";
$s_index_group_max_thumbsize_heightÊ=Ê"130";

$s_index_group_max_microthumbsize_widthÊ=Ê"45";Ê
$s_index_group_max_microthumbsize_heightÊ=Ê"45";Ê


Correct:



$s_index_exhibition_max_thumbsize_width = "130";
$s_index_exhibition_max_thumbsize_height = "130";

$s_index_exhibition_max_microthumbsize_width = "45";
$s_index_exhibition_max_microthumbsize_height = "45";

$s_index_group_max_thumbsize_width = "130";
$s_index_group_max_thumbsize_height = "130";

$s_index_group_max_microthumbsize_width = "45";
$s_index_group_max_microthumbsize_height = "45";
