Still have serious server problems with a installation! Panic!

Post by gnolen »

Hi there,

Phu, I have a problem that I told about before that I thought was gone...

I have installed a site for a client and I started to see that sometimes when I click a link it just goes blank! Totally nothing(no code), but the adress is showing. But I just thought it was gone. Doesn't happen all the time but every ten time or so(doesn't matter what link).

Now my client calls me and are mad because there is blank pages all the time. Sometimes it is not possible to refresh even! I have talked to the hostingcompany but there is nothing wrong there.

One thing that I have made is a move from my server to the original one. But the paths are correct and the cache is cleared and chmod set correctly.

The hosting company saw something strange thought, the CMS loads a page almost full, then 'jumps' to blank - then back to page...Does this has to do something with it? But the error happens directly, not even trying to load but instant blank page...

I really need some help here, I am desperate with a angry client in my face. What can be wrong???

Thanks and greetings from Gnolen

Thanks for your help Wishy! I will do a reinstall of the CMS(there is new releases so it is only for the best), someone told me that it would maybe a beta 3 out this weekend? Is this true? If that is the case I'll wait for that one.

Again, really appriciate your time. As soon my first clients with CMSMS has paid I'll donate some %!

Well, that was the plan, but decided to hold off on beta3 until a couple of more things get cleared up.  It's probably going to be Wednesday or so...

Nope.  Should be able to just copy beta3 over of beta2 and be good.

And could I copy beta 2 over 0.9.2 Hatutu? In the upgrade text file it says that I can but I thought there was some database changes on it?

And if I do an upgrade do I run the risk of losing files that I added(no original files that I changed becuase I know that they will be replace), but images files and stuff? And lost database content?

Hate to do upgrades, one time a CMS f..k a whole site(database) up and it was gone..

Noop...When I upgrade everything is ok(it says) but admin is totally a mess! '--Add Me' everywhere! No matter what language I choose.

It shouldn't matter that I had the admin in an other folder(name) before?

I'll have to go back to the original :(

Still getting the blank pages after server change! I have tested to copy the html code to a staticpage and then it didn't happen. So it is the CMS somehow.

I saw this post on smarty with the same problem:

Do not know what to do about it. I thinking of converting it to a static site. :(

I have talked to someone with the same problem with a CMS and the problem was with content-type!? They took out their in the template and it worked! I know that sometimes when I state a charset in the template it gets overridden by some other meta tag? I have no idee why this happens. It looks like it forces the charset and this may conflict.

Maybe it is better to state the charset in the encoding field and not in the template?

So somehow it is a bug...

CMSMS sends the content type, charset and encoding via HTTP headers, so in theory, it should be ignoring the meta tags.  I guess it could be possible that some browser (IE) is having a problem with conflicting headers vs meta tags.  I would the meta out of your template, since I know for sure that text/html, utf8 is getting sent by default via headers...

Hope that helps!
