Blank page

Post by dsquared »

I'm getting a blank page when opening gbook.php

Running PHP 5.2.8
IIS 7
Vista 64 bit


I've read previous posts where sessions have been indicated as the culprit. These are my php settings

Session Support enabled
Registered save handlers files user sqlite
Registered serializer handlers php php_binary wddx

Directive Local Value Master Value
session.auto_start Off
session.bug_compat_42 On
session.bug_compat_warn On
session.cache_expire 180
session.cache_limiter nocache
session.cookie_domain no value
session.cookie_httponly Off
session.cookie_lifetime 0
session.cookie_path /
session.cookie_secure Off
session.entropy_file no value
session.entropy_length 0
session.gc_divisor 100
session.gc_maxlifetime 1440
session.gc_probability 1 1
session.hash_bits_per_character 4
session.hash_function 0
session.name PHPSESSID
session.referer_check no value
session.save_handler files
session.save_path no value
session.serialize_handler php
session.use_cookies On
session.use_only_cookies Off
session.use_trans_sid 0

Is there something else I should be looking at?

Thanks

If you getting a blank page the problem aren't sessions (at least not for this part), but something else. Post a link to your GBook and to your phpinfo file.

I'm still in development mode - working on localhost...

I've saved a version of the info.php file as on my webserver - you can access it at:

Delete this from the settings.php file then open gbook.php again and see if you get any error messages:

Code: Select all

ini_set('display_errors', 0);
ini_set('log_errors', 1);

Tried that in IE 7 and Firefox 3.0.7 - no error messages.

I've also tried a clean install in a different folder.

Permissions are properly set.

It's probably something really obvious but I can't figure it out - my php knowledge is intermediate.

I got this working just fine on my work PC (it runs on XP Pro, if that makes a difference).

I uploaded my settings file to:

If deleting those two lines form the settings file didn't give any error messages I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.

Settings file looks fine.

Usually a blank page would mean PHP not working (it obviously is on your server) or ZLib not enabled but this should show as an error if above lines are removed and your phpinfo file shows ZLib is enabled.

What you can try is to run the sessions test:

Upload, open session_test.php, click the link you get and see if you get the test session variable set to "TRUE" on the next page.

session test works fine.

It's got to be a a setting that's local to my setup - php.ini or IIS.

I know it's not your code - I've tried a different guestbook and had problems there too - I got a 404 error looking for localhost:80 (this was the website URL)

I'm stumped.
