Blank Screen - Step 4 // and other Blank Screens

ntburchf · July 30th, 2007, 09:26 PM

Hi all,

No matter what I do, I can not get past step 4-
due to white / blank screen-.
Even though it's installed,
you can go to the domain.com/photopost/
and it's a whitescreen there

Go to the
domain.com/photopost/adm-index.php
it ask you to logon, put in username pass
hit enter, returns a white screen.

I've manually set the cookie prefix in the db for photopost, hoping that was it-
nope no good-
still nothing

It could be path settings on this windoz box. (i'm used to *nix pathing)

what are the proper slashes on these paths for windows?

/ or \ ??
and do the paths end in \ / or not?

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Forum cookie matches what is set in the forums conf-inc.php file

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Which paths end with slashes, which dont?
which Url's end with slashes and which dont?

Spend already a week messing around with this-
VBgallery took like 2 mins to install and get working-

Thanks!

D:/inetpub/wwwroot/forum/photopost

Your path should be that

If you can not get past step 4 I would think you need to check on config section you specified the right vb database info and on step 4 you specify your correct vb database prefix

Hi Chuck,

Thanks-
Will try those changes-

pretty sure when I put in the wrong DB it returns an error about can not connect to the Users DB

VB and Photo installed in the same db also-
so if it can connect to the photo db, I would assume it would see the vb3_ db

ohh PS

D:/inetpub/wwwroot/forum/photopost

which setting?
there's like 5 in the DB that d:\ stuff

there's this error in the php logs also

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

ntburchf · July 30th, 2007, 10:50 PM

Got it, thanks!

had to put / on the end of some of those paths for it to work-

ntburchf · July 30th, 2007, 11:07 PM

ok stupid question time-

domain.com/photopost/adm-index.php
allows me to logon
redirects me to photopost/index.php
if I try to go back to the adm-index.php
tells me I'm not an admin

so where's the config / control panle for this?

How about you post a URL here so we can see where your at. You have made many posts with different questions so lets see where your at

looks like that one config file is corrupt replace it

ntburchf · August 1st, 2007, 04:37 AM

All those files from the download are pretty much useless.
If i open them on a linux box, every one of them has to be converted from dos newline, to linux formated.
Looks like they were made with Wordpad, or MSword

Running both vbgallery and photopost.
Photopost
http://forum.scubatoys.com/photopost/

VBGallery
http://forum.scubatoys.com/gallery/

Not a big fan of windbloz O/S let's just say.
Just happens this box is on windows.

It's running I guess, just can not get into the admin panel, so it's pretty much
dead project right now.

When I go here
http://forum.scubatoys.com/photopost/adm-index.php
all i get is

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Yes your cookies are not right try making sure in photopost using phpmyadmin try running this query

UPDATE pp_settings SET setting='bb' WHERE id=172

Your vb should be this

cookie path /

cookie prefix bb

cookie domain BLANK is fine with your domain

Why would I set the prefix to bb?
In VB and Photo it's both set to
stbb1

Chuck S · August 7th, 2007, 09:23 AM

You set it to match vb. bb is an example and is the default prefix on most every vb install unless you alter it in their config file

ntburchf · August 8th, 2007, 01:22 AM

I know that

First post stated that they both match --
both are stbb1

Try to get to the adm-index.php and all I get is

You are not a valid administrator or moderator!

So what's the secret to getting this working on either linux or windows.
I now have it installed on both, and neither work.?
vbgalley works, just not photopost.

ntburchf · August 8th, 2007, 01:29 AM

on redhat rhel v4 now-

config-inc.php

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

config-int.php

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

also, what's the point of have config files, if the info is coded into the db, and any changes have to be made via phpmyadmin ?

ntburchf · August 8th, 2007, 02:29 AM

Got it,

just edited the database and added a / to all the paths-
go figure

enjoy

In the future please provide direct links. If all you where missing was a trailing slash. That could be answered real fast by seeing the actual site

You yourself answered your own question the very same day and now a week and a half later are doing the same thing again.
