Can anyone help me!!!! I've been tinkering with XOOPS on my local machine with apache and mysql, then i got some web hosting and uploaded the files, and make a .sql with phpmyadmin and uploaded all the database data. Now admin.php displays a blank page, with 'Done' in the corner of IE. So it loaded and it exists but what THE HELL IS WRONG!!!!

Please help me i'm a newbie...lol

Below are the debug errors i get for admin.php!

First of all, we need a little more information before we can help you. Please provide as much of the following information as possible;

XOOPS Version:
PHP Version:
MySQL Version:
Web Server Software (Apache/IIS/Other):
Operating System:

After you provide your information, please try looking over the FAQs and searching the forums while you wait for your reply. There's a very good chance that you can find the solution to your problem there.

Secondly, please calm down. Since this is only a testing site on your local machine, there's no emergency here, just a great opportunity to learn.

Best Regards,

I had the same problem until I changed the cache,uploads and template_c directories to chmod 777. Now it appears that everything works except the images, buttons, banners, and avatars. They are not displaying. I had the same problem with a BB I was trying to install. I gave up and deleted it after the problem stumpped the support staff. Let me know if this gives you the same problem.

Ok so what am i doing? Its actually not a test site anymore, its functional but still vunerable. Its www.kempseyonline.com. Admin.php doesn't work and i have chmoded the directories to 777. The whole site works, i mean everything comes from the db ok. Ok here are the stats:
OS: Debian
Perl Version: 5.8.4
Web Server: Apache
MySQL: 4.0.24
PHP Version: 4.3.10-15
XOOPS: 2.2

Its really bugging me because it works locally but it doesn't on the www server (kempseyonline.com).

Prompt help is always appreciated. Thanks guys.

I just noticed something in your php debug output that might provide some clues as to the source of your problem.

Quote:

What theme are you using?
Do you have your site set to use the frontside theme or the default theme?
If you use the default theme, do you have the blank admin page problem?

Best Regards,

how can i change the theme if i can't log into the admin side? can i change it in phpmyadmin?

sure, go to phpmyadmin find table yourxoops_config click Browse then Edit _MD_AM_DTHEME and in conf_value enter 'default' 'xmt' or 'x2t' or other theme name.

Yes its all to do with the themes, seems like it mucked uploading some files. FTP is so slow to upload and has so many errors!!!!
