- Download some of the invalid files and do a binary compare
- try unpackaging locally and uploading via ftp for a test

I did a cmp and diff of the file in the tarball and the file in the website directory and received no variances between the two files.

I downloaded some of the files from the website directory to a local windows machine and then downloaded the .zip file from the repository, extracted the zip and then compared the files and found no differences...

So something besides a difference in the files must be causing the 'invalid content' and the blank pages.

I tried starting from scratch on another website on the same servers that I had running an older version of XOOPS 2.0 and am getting the exact same condition. For the PHPINFO report see: http://www.toothnnail.com/phpinfo.php

Arrghhhh!!! My eyes ... my eyes.
What a color selection is that?


Ok so it is PHP Version 4.4.1.


Which MySql is it?

If you don´t know - this little piece of code can help you:

$link = mysql_connect('mysql', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Keine Verbindung möglich: ' . mysql_error());
}
printf("MySQL server version: %sn", mysql_get_server_info());
?>


once you enter your data and save it as a php file.

Anyone willing to IM me to try and figure this out you can get me at ViperSBT on AIM...

I am trying to install a fresh copy on the server right now to see what that does... I just can't figure out why this isn't working...

A completely clean install works fine. So there has to be something about my pre-existing installation that is causing a problem... It worked 100% perfect before the upgrade, so the environment is OK.

Stepping through it and trying to find the failuer, I have found that it appears to be dying between the include('header') and include('footer'). So the problem must be coming up in the header...

I went into header and did a little poking around and noticed that it makes several calls to $xoopsConfig, so to see what it was getting I did a print_r($xoopsConfig); and this is the result:

Array ( [xoops_url] => http://www.u-fli.com [root_path] => /home/httpd/vhosts/ufli/)

It seems that there should be a lot more in this array than these two items. I believe this is handled in includes/common.php, but looking at that code, it may be beyond me as to what is happening, and it still isn't generating an error.

I've read everything, it's crazy (and no one will read phpinfo with those terrible colors)

-if something is happening with your previous install, it looks to me like if files weren't over writing the correct way, there is a CHMOD problem, or your theme has something wrong.

- if a completely clean install is working why not do the following:

A) put all the modules of your previous version into the new clean install

B) Do a ONLY DATA backup of your previous site

C) Go to phpMyAdmin, go to the database of the new working site, select all tables, and EMPTY them DO NOT DROP-ERASE- them

D) Upload to the database of the new working site the data backup of the previous site

F) Upload the previous theme you had, any custom images - banners -etc to their respective folders

E) All should be ok now. You should have a new site with the latest XOOPS version with the same data as the previous version and you should be able to login as admin the same way as before

I hope to not have missed any important step , anyways you have nothing to lose, you should take care in step B though.

If you have a recovery.php file and the config value for debug is serialized (as you say) then it's either a XOOPS 2.2.x site, or maybe you downgraded from version 2.2.x ?

Either way, I'd reupload the original files (before the upgrade to 2.0.14) to restore the site, then perform the upgrade on a local copy of your site, so you can investigate without the time pressure of a site offline
