When trying to access the permissions area in cbb admin area I get a white screen. Also when trying to create a new catagory I get a white screen. When turning on debuging I see:



I uploaded the form.php as suggested but still no luck. This is happening in cbb 3.05 and 3.06 releases on 2.0.15.

Try this thread - there were some problems and hopefully this will send you in the right direction.

I'm still having the same problem as the original poster as well.

1) I've tried the items noted in the thread you posted as well as the solutions Wizanda (re: renaming a php file and setting editor) has posted.

2) I've uninstalled 3.06, deleted the files, downloaded a fresh copy and reinstalled.

3) I've also deleted the files, downloaded 3.05 and installed and still get the white space issues and inability to administer my forums.

4) I've checked the CBB support forum and found several users reporting the same issue with white pages, one with over 500 views and NO REPLIES. Absolutely amazing....

5) I've used the search function and checked the forums here on the XOOPS site daily for the last two weeks and while I haven't found a solution, I've seen that a lot of people are having this problem.

6) I've installed fckeditor even though I didn't want it to see if that would help. I've moved the files from root to frameworks and back again and finally uninstalled it.

7) I've turned on debug in both XOOPS and in CBB. I get the same report as the original poster. No errors. Nothing to track down and attempt to fix.

8) I've tried the default theme and other themes.

9) I've deleted the cache files before each update. I've updated the module after every change.

10) I've read and re-read the FAQ on white pages and can't find anything applicable since there are no errors.

I'm very frustrated at the moment. A bare-bones base install of XOOPS 2.0.15 and a base install of CBB 3.06 with newest framework refuses to function on the same machine that I have a site running XOOPS 2.2.3 with CBB 2.2 smoothly. Apache is setup properly and I have frequently set up testing sites on this machine successfully for the last several years. I want to downgrade the 2.2.3 site in order to upgrade but I just can't get the plain vanilla forums with an empty database to work for me.

Help?!?!?

If you need a fully working CBB now, I can highly recommend CBB 1.16a with XOOPS 2.0.13.2. You should be able to upgrade from both when the bugs are ironed out.

I have tried every suggestion that I could find and still no luck.

Yes this is amazing! What is even more amazing to me is that 2.0.15 has a well known bug with form.php and skalpa seems to not give a rats behind about it. There should have been a very quick update done after it was found.

With all of these issues how in the hell is a newb going to download and install XOOPS and use it without getting frustrated?

well, you spent so much time, tried 10 solutions, but missing only one sentence, the only note along with the release news:

How amazing it is!

BTW: where is the "CBB support forum" you mentioned?

with respect I have the latest and still have issues phppp

i test cbb 3.0.6 in many platforms LAMP and also windows IIS with both XOOPS 2.0.15 and 2.2.4.

php 4.1+ and php 5.1+ tested
mysql 4 and 5 tested.

also i test upgrade from a current forum cbb 3.0.4 with +5000 posts.

No problem found
of course there was a problem with mysql5 but it solved now.
please give us some more information:
php version?
Apache version?
mysql version?

Operating system - Linux

New install of XOOPS 2.0.15
latest frameworks

I'll add to my list even though frameworks was referred to in item 6. :)

11) I used the latest frameworks. And since it was mentioned elsewhere in these threads that there had been an update on 10/15 (I think that was the date), I redownloaded just in case. Since I'm installing in 2.0.15 I did not delete the xoops22 directory.

/frameworks is located off of my root directory

I thought the forum was http://xoopsforge.com/modules/newbb/ but I can't find the thread I referred to there. As such I must be wrong, the site I saw wasn't Xoops.org, Xoopsforge or the Chinese XOOPS and therefore not an official CBB support site. My apologies for my false statement.

I'm going to delete XOOPS 2.0.15 and reinstall from scratch as my next step in case a file got corrupted in XOOPS or a database table got messed up.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for looking into this phppp (and Wizanda and Jen and and and everyone else that's been giving suggestions).
