guestbook page is totally blank

Post by Igor »

Script URL: http://www.paranormaalplein.nl/guestbook.php
Version of script: 1.7
Hosting company: 123-webhost.nl
URL of phpinfo.php:
URL of session_test.php:
What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution:
re-trying everything, from uploading again to looking through the settings.php file. Also renaming the entries.txt file.Also clearing my remote server and uploading all the files again, with the gbook directory

Write your message below:
Hello;
When I enter the guestbook page, the page is totally blank.
I know I am doing something terribly wrong, but can't find the answer.
Have uploaded all the files in the gbook directory, made a new page guestbook.php and installed all thesettings in the settings.php file.
Nothing works.
Can someone help me please??

There is no code being generated in the body section of http://www.paranormaalplein.nl/gbook/gbook.php . This usually happens when a not available template name is being used.
In the settings.php file, what value do you have for the template name:

Code: Select all

/* Template to use. On many servers template names are CaSe SeNSiTiVe! */
$settings['template']='default';
Do you have default or another template name?

Groeten,

I do not monitor the Gbook forums regularly anymore since I do not use the Gbook script myself anymore for a long time. But it helped me a lot in learning to understand php.

Hello Igor,

There is no code to put anywhere.
For now I will use the http://www.paranormaalplein.nl/gbook/gbook.php file for the troubleshooting because that is how GBook is supposed to be used, with the gbook.php in the folder with the other files of Gbook.

Did you change any of the files in the gbook folder? In case you did, could you make a backup of these for future usage by yourself and put the original files as are provided in the download file?

Than in the settings.php file, make sure you have to following setting:

Code: Select all

/* URL of the gbook.php file. */
$settings['gbook_url']='http://www.paranormaalplein.nl/gbook/gbook.php';
Groeten,
Henrie
