Good suggestion. However ...

(a) release notes say: Any PHP version >= 4.3 is supported by XOOPS 2.3.3. My server is using 4.3.9

(b) it's the main admin.php page that is returning blank.

(c) the only modules I have installed are News and TinyContent. To my knowledge, neither require PHP 5.

--

That said, it still may be that PHP5 would solve my problems, but the analysis doesn't lead me to PHP5 as a requirement.

I would upgrade the server except that it's running a production site with LOTS of activity and I can't risk the downtime.

--

I've been a XOOPS admin and site builder since 2004. What is baffling here is that ALL of the site modules and pages work with the exception of the admin sections. Moreover, nothing I've tried is giving me any feedback or errors; just blank pages.

When I turned debug_mode on (conf_value = 1) I got some feedback (see earlier post) but it didn't provide any useful information regarding the error.

This server is CentOS. Is there a way to output these php errors to a log file? Other suggestions?

Okay, so let me ask another question.

How can I turn a debug setting on through the database, or manually in one of the scripts so that the admin.php page will tell me something?

here is the source of what I get from admin.php

Another symptom ...

Cache files here (/caches/smarty_cache) are not getting updated when the edituser.php form is submitted.

--

If I delete the cached userinfo.php file and then submit the form, a new cache file is created.

If the cache file exists, new info from the database is not updated in the file upon form submit.

*Cleared the session table
*Ran the checksum.php script - all files present except the install directory which I deleted.

*One of the first things I did was go through the database and look for the old URL and paths and change them to the new ones.

*When I run the the direct link http://www.example.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=modulesadmin&op=update&module=system

...the admin.php file is returned to the browser as a download (using Firefox).

This is very weird.

Check your mainfile.php has the correct definitions for the new URL and physical path (and MySQL credentials).

DONE - the main site, front page blocks, liaise and tinycontent modules are working

Clear your xoops_data folders (except index.html).

Okay done. these were already empty except for the admin ui file.

Update your system and profile module.

How can I do this w/out access to the admin page?

Quote:

Did you have xoops_lib and xoops_data outside the document root?

No they are inside document root. Where is this configuration stored? Should I change this and how?

/admin.php page is still blank.

Thanks for your help.

Admin Pages, Cache not working

I moved a 2.3.3 site from one host to another which also meant changing the URL.

I moved the scripts and content and created a new database. The site is rendering correctly EXCEPT that /admin.php shows a blank page AND changes to my user profile are not displayed correctly.

Profile changes are written to the database, but the cache file is not updated, so the old information is always displayed.

I'm guessing that these two issues are related, but this is my first 2.3.3 site and I'm not sure where to look.

I've opened up permissions to 777 on xoops_data/... xoops_lib and caches.

Any ideas on where to look to solve this?

I make this mistake every time I add a new block or module to my site. I've been using XOOPS for over 2 years and I still have trouble with this.

Of course, it works when you're logged in as admin, but then you go and show your work to someone else who is an anon user, and they say "hey, I don't see it."

I wish that there was a preferences switch that controlled default permissions for new modules and blocks.

This is a style sheet issue. The theme designer does not have a style for visited links.

http://jclist.com/themes/7dana-jclist/style.css

Something like the following would work;
a:visited {color: #861a24; } -- would turn visited links a red color

It's very easy to wrap your pages in XOOPS. Just include the header/footer information around your page content. Files can be referenced just like any other php or html object.

include("../mainfile.php");
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php");
?>

include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php");
?>
