Blank page when editing a page.

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

Blank page when editing a page.

Post by mlp1 »

Hi,

I'm getting a blank page when attempting to edit a page. The CMS was working fine and no amendments were made to the configuration or any new modules installed.

But over a short period of time all the page editing started to return a blank page. The content renders on the front end but editing is imposable.

I was having a similar problem a month or so ago and fixed it by installing v 1.11.5 but the problem seems to have returned.

The only problem I can see in System Information is Server Db Grants: Could not find a suitable "GRANT ALL" permission.

Could this be a problem with my server configuration?

Regards Mark.

do you have {cms_stylesheet} in your templates? See warning notice http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/

My style sheets use ../../ instead of [[root_url]] could this be my problem?

M

.cssSideMenu{margin:0; padding:0; width:250px; list-style:none;background:rgb(255,255,255);}
.cssSideMenu li{padding:0; margin:0 0 1px 0; height:40px; display:block; }
.cssSideMenu li a{text-align:left;height:40px; padding:0px 25px; font: bold 12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgb(68,68,68); display:block; background:url('../../uploads/verMenuImages.png') 0px 0px no-repeat; text-decoration:none;}
.cssSideMenu li a:hover{background:url('../../uploads/verMenuImages.png') 0px -40px no-repeat; color:rgb(255,255,255);}
.cssSideMenu li a.active, .cssSideMenu li a.active:hover{background:url('../../uploads/verMenuImages.png') 0px -80px no-repeat; color:rgb(255,255,255);}

I had the same problem with one site and solved it by removing

Code: Select all


{if isset($canonical)}<link rel="canonical" href="{$canonical}" />{elseif isset($content_obj)}<link rel="canonical" href="{$content_obj->GetURL()}" />{/if}

Thanks for your help, but no that hasn't solved the problem! I removed it form all my templates... The blank screen changed from complete white out, to showing the cmsms nav once before I removed it from the last template.

But I'm back to a blank page and wondering if my problem is [[root_url]] ?

if I replace ../../ with [[root_url]] is it a straight replace or do I need to add a slash? [[root_url]]/

turn on debugging (config.php)
look in the error logs of your server
look in .htaccess if displaying of errors is disabled
check UDT for die() without displaying errors

I turned on debugging and have a stack of debug info on the select page screen but as soon as I select a page it returns a page that breaks at;

<div id="oe_mainarea" class="cf">

With no debug info.

Is that my problem Rolf ?

What would be the correct form?

Thanks Rolf,

Have changed it on all templates but still have a blank page!

I haven't replaced ../../ on my css templates as yet. Is this an issue ?

Still baffled!

A white screen means an error. The error is somewhere you just have to find it:

http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/troubleshooting/tips

If you cannot get at your error logs, and/or enable them, then contact your host.

Thanks calguy, unfortunately the site goes from uneditable to down on the front end when I apply error logs.

I get no errors on the white out page!
