[solved] Empty admin pages

Post by mjahoud »

Hi,

Im not a very experienced user, and i've got one quite strange problem.

When I login on the admin panel, i get all the menu options, but when i click on one, for example conent > pages
i get the admin panel header with menu, breadcrumb and unhandled notifications, but that's it.
The part where you can actually create content isn't showing.
It's the same with all the other menu options... this kinda sets me back a bit.

When installing i got the warning that php memory was lower than recommended, can this be the cause of the problem?
It sits at 8M

Where could I look for the cause esle?

Thanks in advance

-edit-
im having a hard time determing versions of server etc. this what i got:

Linux
MySQL 4.1.15
Apache 2.0
PHP version 5.1.1


-edit 2-
I also tried the 'tree.php' versus 'index.html' switching, as told on http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 300.0.html
but once i changed it, i got a ' on the admin pages, so i switched it back...

Yes, during install it said 8M, but it also said that i could proceed with caution, so i dit not think it would be such a big problem... I haven't installed any extra modules or content or something.

So with 8M cmsmadesimple can't work?

I haven't tried such a constrainted setup. With 8Mb it may work...
But PHP4 installs have rather 24 or 32 and PHP5 128Mb.

hm. PHPinfo says 8M, with 5.1.1 version. The server admin say's he'd rather not change it, because it's a shared server.

What could be other causes to the problem? Could it have something to do with the so-called tree.php?
It's getting close to the deadline (it's tommorrow!) so i'd apreciate any help here.

Thanks!

-edit-
I have the same vesion of cmsmadesimple on my local machine (running a wamp server) and i've set the memory limit back to 8M temporarily, then it gives a fatal error in the admin page, but i don't get this error on the online admin pages... I don't know if this helps, but i thought i'd just report it...

Finally, the server admin changed the memory limit to 16M, and yes now it works!
Thanks for helping, and now whe know, it doesnt work with 8M...

Just move the host, that not make any sense to me, plus, php 5.1x have a lot of memory issues, your host is out date ;)
Update php version is 5.2.8 IIRC
Move on, contract a decent host!

Good luky

I had the same problem, and it drove me nuts!

I had a php memory limit set at 16M, but I have a rather large site so I increased the limit to 32M using the following line in my .htaccess file:

Code: Select all

php_value memory_limit 32M
Hope this helps someone as this is a really frustrating problem!  ::)
