blank pages from front end, but backend preview is perfect

I have made a fresh install, version 1.02, and everything went well. Backend works perfectly, including previewing from the "Edit content" page. But viewed from the front end the page is blank, with no html code in it at all.
I am not a techie, so please be quite specific if you have suggestions on what to do.

You can view the site here (except it's blank): www.lodbjerg.dk

anything in server logs?

what about if you turn debug = true in config.php

is php configured to not show any error messages?

and then there is one smarty configuration which I cant remember right now, try searching the forum this has come up for some people before also

hope this helps

Thanks for the input, tsw.

I turned on debug as you suggested. Where can I see the result of that?

I am not a technical person, so I also have to ask: Where would I see if php is configured to show error messages? I have access to phpmyadmin on the server - is that the place to see it and to edit the setting?

As for the smarty thing: I am unable to find anything that makes any sense in regard to solving this problem. Can you give me an idea of what a smarty might do that could help in this regard?

Selecting the Preview tab in the "Edit content" in the backend I can for a brief moment see a page with error messages - before the page is rendered. Opening the frame with the rendered page in its own window brings out the following error messages:
Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: Unable to access /home/virtual/lodbjerg.dk/public_html/tmp/cache/cmspreviewkNheES in /home/virtual/lodbjerg.dk/public_html/lib/content.functions.php on line 282

Does that make sense to anyone?

make sure you have tmp/cache folder and apache process has read write access to it, then clear cache.

it seems that cmsms cant find its cache files (either they cant be created or cant be read)

tws, I did what you suggested and the result is still the same, blank screen.

The Cache folder only contains one file; contentcache.php

Are there supposed to be more docs in it?

well its a cache, sometimes it has lots of files and sometimes none :)


check your php settings, max_memory limit and safe mode esp.

you can create a php file with this content



to see php settings

During installation cmsMS reported that 11 Mb is allocated. I am trying to convince my ISP to increase that.

I ran the php test, you can see it here:

http://lodbjerg.dk/phptest.php

Does that look as it should?

safe mode is on, so it might be that php script doesnt have rights to either write or read the tmp folder..
