CMS Made Simple Forums

While I don't always use it, preferring to see the whole web site as it is, sometimes it is nice to use the Preview tab when editing a page.

However, I have notice recently that this tab window is always blank now. I cannot figure out how to turn it back on.

I am using version 1.11.10, with PHP 5.3.3 and Apache 2.2.15.

It might be also useful to note that there is no WYSYWYG display either. I removed MicroTiny and installed TinyMCE. (I did this after the problem developed, and would rather have that editor anyway.) There was no change.

By the way, here's my system info:

I don't know if this helps, but there it is.

You should make a look to the server logs what's wrong.

You are using a lot of modules. And one of the important informations is not shown. Right, I mean php memory limit.

Have not checked your constellation but I think you need 128 MB memory to get this working without any trouble.

I have 1.5 GB of memory on my server, if that was what you meant.

I meant the memory value assigned to PHP, not server memory ...

Ah, that's different then.

I did find this one my server, if it helps:
Memory and transfer limit options
Maximum memory allocation 128M
Maximum HTTP POST size 10M
Maximum file upload size 10M

Does this help?

Are there any relevant outputs with debug option in config.php, activated php error reports and /or server logs?

Alright. I did some research under other forums and found something interesting. It appears that there is a mixed content problem going on, and specifically it appears that there are places where TinyMCE is being called from an http:// address instead of an https:// address.

However, I can't seem to find where the insecure link is contain in any file, so I can't fix it.

Do you are using https for your website / admin?

Is the error gone if you switch back to http?

There is no way to switch out of the secure web page. It always goes back to https.

I could sure use more help on this. Especially as to finding any error logs.

Thanks.

years ago i found this snippet in a forum (probably this one) which caused the preview to break. after i learned how to properly write a htaccess redirect i dropped that line and things are better since.

Thank you for that.

Where would one find that code? Does one just remove it or change a setting? Is it created by a part of the admin settings?

Thanks again.

No, I had added this code manually years ago to my config.php file (and since removed it). if you haven't done so, this idea just hit a dead end.
