installed fine, viewed index.php = blank screen

[jpo245]

Hi, i don't know what i did wrong. installation went fine, uploading a picture in admin went fine, but when i get to http://rathernifty.com/pixelpost
it just gives a blank page!

Any idea whats going on?

Many thanks

To tell you the truth - not the slightest idea!
You're on a Windows server it seems though and pixelpost haven't been tested on that.

It's hard to tell where it fails. Open up the mainscript, index.php, and near the top you will have a line that says error_reporting(0);
Change that into error_reporting(E_ALL);.

That will probably throw some errors your way which in turn we might be able to draw some conclusions from.

I think you might have switched template to ".DS_Store" in the admin area under "options".

At least when I tried that myself the whole page turned white, just go to /admin and change - see if it works.

hey everyone, many thanks for the quick replies...

tried putting E_ALL for error reporting.. still turns up a blank page!
viewing the source doesn't even show much.

also tried changing the templates, still doesn't work

im so keen on using pixelpost!!

sigh.. will keep trouble shooting i guess...

David,

is there a .DS_Store in there?

I might have to upload a new archive since that's just a filesystem "configuration" file, on Mac anyway. Shouldn't be there.

jpo245 - I really have no idea what's the trouble here and since you're on a Windows machine I'm very limited in knowledge. I can of course do a trial and error test if you wish to give me login details to your webserver. I need to be able to edit the files, so ftp access is a must.

You have my word that I'm a good guy, it's your decision. Nobody should let a stranger in without some serious consideration. But it's really all I can offer, I'm sorry.

hi pixelpunk,

i'd be more than happy to give u access to my webserver...

basically im running apache + php + mysql on a windows box, so what exactly do u need?
i can create an ftp account for u that goes directly to my www root directory, and i can give u access to my phpmyadmin which allows u to modify the mysql tables.

any other stuff u need?

thanks!

I just need to access the pixelpost files, no mysql or anything. You say the install and upload went fine so I figure that part is alright, it must be the script that screwing it up.

PM me the details and I'll see what I can do, absolutely no guarantees I can make it work though. windows is a whole new ballgame, I've never used that platform.

Yup, under "switch template" there's the option of .DS_Store. The file, the same name at least, is in almost every folder too. Is it okay to delete them?

Cause I'll be happy too, want no stinky mac stuff in my PC

Yup, throw them away. They are files that holds certain information on the folder they are in, such as background pictures, iconsizes, iconposition etc that are unique for that folder only.

Throw them out, now!
