I'm not a programmer either a network or database expert.
But after installed 3~5 website with XOOPS I found some possible solutions for the blank page problem:

0.1 The web hosting is not stable during the installation or they did something to your www.XXXXXX.com/~YYYYYY link and causing the page couldn't b shown.

0.2 Must immediately log in as webmaster after the installation and install all the modules and set the group permission as well.

And Please Do Not change the Weight of the the modules because it will cause the blank page problem. This will happed if u just change weight of just one module. (The developer team please test and check this problem.)

0.3 Please keep ur FTP log in ur website while u using browser log in as webmaster for the 1st time and change the chod using the FTP and refresh/relaod the page with the browser and see whether it has been chenged. Sometimes the server won't let u change chod in FTP mode then u have to use C-Panel or Plesk to do it.

0.4 Make sure u install every thing and set up everything b4 ur log out as webmaster for the 1st time.

Hope these will help.

Some tips for those who wanted to install my-album 2.60.
The my-album 2.60 got serious database problem (I think so). My-album 2.60 will re-appeared the same photos after posting 14 or 16 or more photos. Don't know what happend. So I decided to install the 2.5 version and it works fine.

Thank you very much Herko. I guess my host fixed the problem so my website is back online. Don't know how he fixed it.

Hi Parafal,

Looks like both of us are facing the same problem!!!
But mine is worse bcoz I got two more lines than u

Well, that's all real ID and password. I don't mind to disclose it bcoz I may have to re-install the whole website using new database.

Do u all think may be my host have not fully re-install/re-covered everything at the server?

Anyway thanks u all for help.

I'll wait a few days and see how it works before I re-install a new website. (kind of sick doing this repeated many times and all data were gone forever

Thanks Herko,

To all masters of Xoops,

I'm facing a seriuos problem whereby my server host (or web space provider) always like to upgrade the server OS, database and php without informing us.

So everytime after he did the upgrading job my website will be gone and I have to re-install the whole website. Althought he was trying to remain everything as it is, but it just didn't work some where or some how. (I think he doesn't know my database use ID and password and simply change it)

Is there a better way to slove my problems? I know nothing about php or programming but I can install and use XOOPS very well (this is good news to those hardworking XOOPS developers

This is the latest messages I got when trying to open my website after my host just upgraded the server OS (or may be others as well):

This page cannot be displayed due to an internal error.

If you are the administrator of this site, please visit the XOOPS Troubleshooting Page for assistance.

Warning [PHP]: Access denied for user: 'dragonflylee@localhost' (Using password: YES) in file class/database/mysqldatabase.php line 74

*(((my password never to be a YES, does this means the database must use a password or it changed my password to YES?)))

Warning [PHP]: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'dragonflylee@localhost' (Using password: YES) in file class/database/mysqldatabase.php line 74

*(((this also same as above)))

Error [Xoops]: Unable to connect to database in file class/database/databasefactory.php line 34

Thanks in advance for all your help

To all XOOPS developers and users,

Is there any XOOPS module with members matching feature such as other member matching apps? I'm running a community site need to insert a members matching apps for my members to search for members with same hobbies and other aspects as well.
And I think with members pix upload and management functions such as member loyalty management programmes etc... will be better.
Thanks.

Someone please fix this.
