blank page on install step 2

Post by Rhy »

using cmsmadesimple v1.0.2

error_log contents
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: debug_buffer() in /blabla/httpdocs/team/include.php on line 50

excluding this relatively unimportant function. Next error:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: array_walk_recursive() in /blabla/httpdocs/team/include.php on line 54

Which refers to misc.functions.php ... so preliminairy conclusion so far; none of the includes seem to work. Yet all the paths seem to be right.

All tests are passed successfully in step 1, except:
"Checking if session.save_path is writable

Your session.save_path is "/apache_sessions". Not having this as writable may make logins to the Admin Panel not work. You may want to look into making this path writable if you have trouble logging into the Admin Panel.   
Checking if ini_set works

Although the ability to override php ini settings is not mandatory, some addon (optional) functionality uses ini_set to extend timeouts, and allow uploading of larger files, etc. You may have difficulty with some addon functionality without this capability.  "
Also not really important.

I read and performed the steps in doc/INSTALL.txt ...

what am I doing wrong? I'm not supposed to have it into a subdir or what? Then why all the echo's I included in the source give the right locations? Must be something else I'm missing here.

Would be so lovely to get it up and running and have a replacement for freewebs.

update 2
hmm going to www.blabla.nl/team/ gives following error

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: redirect() in /blabla/httpdocs/team/index.php on line 50

on that line you will find: redirect('install/install.php');
which happens to be another function from the misc.functions.php library  ::) and yup it does have 644 rights

I'm lost :-\

did the installer give any errors (other than that session save path)

could you paste your config.php (without db passwords) maybe some path is wrong..

no errors whatsoever on IE side, all the errors come from the apache error_log file.

yeah, just as me you are a little overconfident concerning the contents of config.php. ;) The only lines in there are these:



The path seems to be right. However my FTP path starts with /httpdocs/team. Changing it doesn't help. Changing it to www.blabla.com/team doesn't help either.

"blabla" is a substitute for the actual path to my httpdocs dir (domainname is enclosed in it and I rather not present it to the world in this stage ;) )

I'm sure it must be something simple I overlook here. Don't have problems running Xoops, Joomla nor Mambo on the same domain. Yet want something simple and slick to run other pages.

have you checked that all files are there and in working condition. Some ftp clients have bad habbit of not transferring some files or just braking the files during transfer.

how much is php memory limit? it could be that install is running out of memory...

Used Filezilla to upload files. Already reuploaded same files. Will ask my provider to have a look in this topic.

Answer to your other question:
"You have "32M"Checking PHP memory limit (min 8M, recommend 16M)
You may not have enough memory to run CMSMS correctly. If possible, you should try to get your system admin to raise this value to the minimum 8M or great. Proceed with caution."

ok problem solved. For some reason the file contents of misc.functions.php and modules.functions.php were switched. Using the .tar.gz file everything is ok now. I never touched modules.functions.php (let alone swapping file contents or renaming files), so I suggest you check the contents of the .zip file on the site.
