Blank Screen

[tait]

So here's my problem. I'm using the latest version of Pixelpost for my blog: www.ktait.net/photoblog. I've searched and checked out the many threads on this problem and tried all the solutions posted but nothing worked. So far, I'm getting a blank screen on every page I check. I deleted everything and started a new, and still the same problem occrus. I resetup my MySQL database and still nothing. I turned on error logging but nothing shows, I can't even access the install.php. So now what? Any help is really appreciated.

check if your host supports PHP and then check if the index page is set to be index.php or index.html. it should be index.php

[tait]

Yeah it supports PHP. My blog was working fine until it decided to stop for reason unknown, that's when I deleted everything (except images and thumbnails) and have been trying to get it back up.

tait,

what is the info in admin/general info? Or is this site blank as well?

which php
which mysql
etc.

index.php must be there because when I call http://www.ktait.net/photoblog/index.php I get no 404 message

but the file is absolutely empty

ask your hoster what changed
nothing just stops to work without a reason

[tait]

Nothing shows, at all. All the files are there, I've reuploaded them about 10 times through various ftp programs, i've deleted and redid my MySQL database. General info doesn't show, but:
Php - 5.1.4
MySQL - 4.1.18-standard

[raminia]

change the line in index.php that read
error_reporting(0);
to
// error_reporting(0);

then browse to your photoblog address.

I guess the possible causes are:
1- a typo/syntax error in the pixelpost.php file
2- some modification in the php files that you made or there are some missing files

@tait
do you have more versions of "copy_folder.php / copy_folder_with_names.php, etc." in your addon folder?
if yes, rename or remove one of them.

I had same problem 2 nights ago after upgrade of Apache on my box. The reason was quite simple - I forgot to compile 2 mods to Apache which were used by one of addons on my PixelPost. On front page there was no error but error was visible in addons section of Admin console. Go there and check if there is all fine!

[tait]

Raminia i've tried turning on error logging but nothing shows, with neither commenting it out or error_reporting(E_ALL);

Vernon I checked, there's just one file named copy_folder.

I'm guessing this has to do with my server host, but I'm doing my best not to contact him (for several reasons). Any other thoughts?

[GeoS]

Did you check for errors addons section at admin side??

[Connie]

to assist GeoS's hint:

take away all Addons from the Addon-directory
than add one Addon after the other until you either find the one which could cause the problem or you know that they all are ok and the reason lies somewhere else

if you plan to update PP (and you should do in the future) it would be good as well to start without errors in the old version

good luck

I'm not sure that your site renders php files correctly.

[tait]

Thanks for the help guys. I think my host is doing some work with the site, since things have been going crazy off and on throughout the server. I'll have to email him (which I was reluctant to because he forgot about me and stopped charging me). Again, thanks for trying.

[Connie]

ha, great hoster!

My brother stayed member of a very conservative party for a long time because they didn't charge him membership and he feared the bill when cancelling...

I convinced him that it's better to pay something and leave than to stay ;=)
