Hi Brian,

Thank you for your prompt response. I installed a clean inversion and copied the .yml files. It added two php tables, but I still get a blank page with no error messages. What can I do to be of help.

Hi Brian,

Sorry to be a pest. Just trying to clarify what I don't know so you can help me understand where I went wrong. I am not sure I understand uploading sql blobs. I have uploaded the whole unzipped package, but my php admin page only has 11 tables and my cache is empty.

I appreciate your help

Randy

Hi Randy,

The installation needs to be easier, more like WordPress, i'm working on that.

The problem is likely related to your Web server, do you have a Windows-based Web server? I haven't tested in that environment lately, but it should work, theoretically. I will try it out on my Windows server and get back to you.

Randy,

could you try this:

open the file /db/boot.php

and copy/paste the following at the top of the file (but after the 1st line that says "<?php")

ini_set('display_errors','1'); ini_set('display_startup_errors','1'); error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE );

now see if you get a visible error

thanks!

Brian,

Thank you for your help. I added the line and get no errors. Still a blank page.

Good Monday Morning Brian,

I purchased a Linux hosting package and have tried the installation several times there and still get a blank page. Is there anything I can send you or take screen capture of that would be helpful?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Randy

FYI

Brian,

I have attached a copy of my config.yml

thanks for all the info, and also for upgrading your hosting. I am working on this and we will figure it out. i'll get back to you later today. -bran

Randy, I do see a problem with your config.yml right away

maybe your Windows text editor is making it hard to see this:

there is an extra Carriage Return after the username line

development: adapter: mysql database: xxx username: xxx << THERE IS A LINE BREAK HERE CAUSING PROBLEM >> password: xxx host: mysql500.ixwebhosting.com

Brian,

I did make the change you suggested and still have a blank page.

TKS

Randy

in your config.yml you have

email_from: randy@redshoesolutions.com email_name: Randy Morgan

there is a line break missing after your e-mail address and before "email_name"

Brian,

Thank you!! I have made that change as well and still have a blank page.

My new config file is attached

Randy

sorry for the trouble, I'm grateful that you have brought it here and let me help you attempt to solve the problem.

it is not necessarily your fault or mine, it could be a compatibility issue with your hosting even if it is linux based.

I wonder if you would do me a favor and try my instruction from before again now that you are on a unix host:

open the file /db/boot.php

and copy/paste the following at the top of the file (but after the 1st line that says "<?php")

ini_set('display_errors','1'); ini_set('display_startup_errors','1'); error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE );

if you are still getting a blank page, you are welcome to e-mail me your hosting login info and I will investigate

Randy I had a bug report that may have been related. It is fixed in the latest beta if you want to give it a shot.

Brian,

Thanks for the update. I am installing the newest version and will get back to you. I appreciate your help.

Randy

Brian,

I installed it buy itself and hurray we are making progress. I am so confused by now (my natural state) I am not sure how to get to the admin page,

Thank you for all your help.

Randy

Great to hear it! Nice. That's a good question about the admin page. There is no admin page yet! The first registered user has superuser privileges so he can delete any post. The config file controls how the system works, but I'm working on a Web admin page. To change your categories you can use PHPMyAdmin or whatever database tool you have to edit records in the "categories" table.
