Blank frontpage

Post by donpedro »

Hi
I use 1.4.1 and all the administration seems to works fine. But, the front page and the article previews are completely blank, no source code at all. I've searched the forum and the web, but cannot find any explanation.
I like phpwcms a lot, have used it before and would really like to get this working!

so you should know how to use a page template?
maybe it's just one (closing) </div> missing???

sounds more like PHP error in frontend - maybe a frontend render script.

The closing div is there... how do I check up the problem you wrote about, Oliver?

Hi

juts empty the folder L: /template/inc_script/frontend_reder/ so that there is no file ending in '.php'

Don't forget to make shure nothing is lost and you have a copy of all.

No files at all there, but a folder called "disabled". Deleted that one, but it made no diference so I put it back again.

Sorry to say: I have to give up on phpwcms for this time. Cannot find what's wrong :(

Perhaps something wrong with your webspace, try other cms and I believe probs are the same.

Be sure that you've uploaded the files as ascii. Check permissions, etc. A sytnax error (typo) in the config file can break it as well. See if php is logging errors and where... then check for them.

Same problem here, and I am a seasoned phpwcms user.

I installed the latest version 1.4.1 via ssh telnet (wget and unzipped the archive onto my server with command line). Successful installation, I can navigate around the backend no problems, I setup a template and a test article, but when viewing the frontend: BLANK. Viewing the source code is also BLANK.

have you checked the tables in the database? I upgraded via svn so no problems here.

Yep, all tables are there. Like I said, no errors in the backend, I can create artlices.

Most likely there is a php syntax error, and display_errors is disabled in php.ini .
So set display_errors to ON or check for errors in your web server log

have fun
