No output after upgrade :: Archived

To evaluate DragonFly I made a copy of my working 8.2 MySQL db, installed 9.0 in a separate tree, edited the config.php file accordingly and pointed to install.php.
Everything was fine, but then I can't get any output, just

<html><body></body></html>

using Firefox.
The theme is the default one (cpgnuke).
I turned all possible debug option on, also display_errors in php.ini, but the result is always an empty frustrating screen. All logfiles are mute.
OS is Debian woody, Apache 1.3, php 4.3.8, MySQL 4.0.

If I install from the scratch (i.e. with an empty database) everything works fine, so the problem appears to be linked to the upgrade procedure.

did you try logging on as admin?

Could you post your config.php file, with the password masked?

I'd like to report a very similar problem after the upgrade from 8.2b to 9.0. I have also copied 8.2b into a new tree, created a new database instance, and modified a config.php database information. Install went smoothly and gave me all greens in the end. However when I am running index.php or admin.php I am getting the blank screen back.

Can you try a CVS snapshot which will be available at 18:00 GMT this evening ?
I've fixed a few bugs but the snapshot is not available yet.

It has some issues regarding PHP 4.3.5 and another about ini_set() solved.

Yes, when I upgraded I too had issues. Some of the tables in the database were not upgraded properly (this may well be a bug, but it's too vague for me to find).

Best to take a copy of your newly upgraded database and compare it against a fresh installed database and compare the two for differences.

I tried with the latest CVS snapshot, but the problem remains.

Here is my config.php file, with extra stuff removed.

<?php
if (!defined('CPG_NUKE')) { exit; }
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbname = 'df';
$dbuname = 'root';
$dbpass = 'mypassword';
$prefix = 'cms';
$user_prefix = 'cms';
$adminindex = 'admin.php';
$mainindex = 'index.php';
define('CPGN_DEMO', false);
define('CPG_DEBUG', true);
.....

I assume this is a local install?

My install is on a host server.

Here is my config.php section (same as ongaro)

<?php
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
if (!defined('CPG_NUKE')) { exit; }
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbname = 'mydb';
$dbuname = 'myname';
$dbpass = 'mypassword';
$prefix = 'cms';
$user_prefix = 'cms';
$adminindex = 'admin.php';
$mainindex = 'index.php';
define('CPGN_DEMO', false);
define('CPG_DEBUG', true);
....

I did a succesfull fresh install which contained 75 DB tables
My 8.2 DB has 112 tables due to the extra modules
An upgraded DB has 116 tables.
One of the modules I use is cpg NukeAmazone, also Amazense.

I know they might not work with 9.0 but would like to test this.

Tnx

For the moment it's on our intranet.
MySQL and Apache are on the same box.
Security is relaxed.

ongaro,
so no prefixes needed for the dbname or dbusername, and you have used the config.php for 9.0.

Perhaps a path issue with the intranet, which I have seen reported before - at what point of the install process do you get blank screen? after what step?

OK,
perhaps I found where the bug is.
I commented out lines 69-92 from cmsinit.inc, and it started working.
I have php 4.3.8 configured with zlib using
--with-zlib-dir=/path-to-zlib-dir/zlib-1.2.1

Hope this can help (but what a damned job!)

ongaro please specify which file revision # you have

Unfortunately commenting out 69-92 lines from cmsinit.inc did not solve
my problem.

boris, do you have a test site link?
