Blank input/EDITOR_loginpage.php

[Al Nakib]

I'm having a problem installing EE 1.5 RC4 and apologies if this was already answered:

After following Pekka's "Clean Install" procedure at http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=29266 , I got stuck on step 4 where I need to point my browser at the input/ folder. I get redirected to input/EDITOR_loginpage.php which is just a blank page. Any ideas? I'm lost :oops:

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks

[Pekka]

Just a guess: open EDITOR_loginpage.php to text editor and change line

ob_start ("ob_gzhandler");

to

error_reporting(255);
ob_start ();

Try again with that and let me know what happened.

Thank you for your prompt reply Pekka!

I did what you said and I'm still ending up with a blank page.

[Pekka]

See that there are no empy spaces or lines in that file before the first

<?php

[Al Nakib]

The "<" in <?php is the first charachter in that file.

ok, then

- reupload EE files with ftp using ASCII file transfer mode (in other words: do not uncompress zip on server, but uncompress it locally and the use ftp to upload files).

- remove .htaccess file in EE folder.

Question: did installer run ok?

[Al Nakib]

Installer ran without a single problem.

That's what I did, I uncompressed and FTP'd the files over to the server. I'll do it again and hopfully this will fix the problem.

- remove .htaccess file in EE folder.
Do you mean EE's root folder?

Input folder.

If you still can't get it to run, PM me info how to reach your editor and ftp. I can debug the problem there.

Cool, thank you so much for all your help and commitment.

After making a few mistakes while reuploading and reinstalling, I finally reached the login page (and it's in working order!) Thanks again.
