I am in big trouble with my XOOPS install and I don't know why. I changed nothing and this morning most of the pages are blank. I was assuming some kind of php error but I can't get any error info. I went in the DB and the debug_mode to 1 and 2 and I get nothing. I tried using php.ini file which is read according to phpinfo() but I still get no PHP errors per say.

I cleaned out cache/ and checked permissions...
I cleaned out template_c and checked permissions...
I cleaned out the xoops_sessions and xoops_online tables...
I sanity checked a few of the other tables (user table mainly) and they look okay.

I can't open up user.php or admin.php, most pages I try are just plain blank. Nothing. Just plain white. I *know* there are lots of forum topics out there with blank pages but I tried everything that was recommended and still get nothing.

The only page that return something so far is user.php but I don't get the login form. I get the header with banner ads and the footer, nothing in between.

I guess it could be a problem with templates since the user.php file is really not that long and should just bring up the login form:

$xoopsOption['template_main'] = 'system_userform.html';
include 'header.php';
$xoopsTpl->assign('lang_login', _LOGIN);
$xoopsTpl->assign('lang_username', _USERNAME);
if (isset($_COOKIE[$xoopsConfig['usercookie']])) {
$xoopsTpl->assign('usercookie', $_COOKIE[$xoopsConfig['usercookie']]);
}
if (isset($_GET['xoops_redirect'])) {
$xoopsTpl->assign('redirect_page', htmlspecialchars(trim($_GET['xoops_redirect']), ENT_QUOTES));
echo "12MARKER";
}
$xoopsTpl->assign('lang_password', _PASSWORD);
$xoopsTpl->assign('lang_notregister', _US_NOTREGISTERED);
$xoopsTpl->assign('lang_lostpassword', _US_LOSTPASSWORD);
$xoopsTpl->assign('lang_noproblem', _US_NOPROBLEM);
$xoopsTpl->assign('lang_youremail', _US_YOUREMAIL);
$xoopsTpl->assign('lang_sendpassword', _US_SENDPASSWORD);
$xoopsTpl->assign('mailpasswd_token', $GLOBALS['xoopsSecurity']->createToken());
include 'footer.php';
exit();

I am totally lost here. I need help.

I am think I may try to re-install or upgrade to see if it helps but I HATE doing that on a broken site cause I'm not sure if I'm making things worst.

I tried setting debug_mode to 3 (Smarty Debug) and I do get the smarty debug console. It talks about "db:system_userform.html" but I don't see that file in template_c. I can't find it anywhere really, is it in the DB?

I do have the system's ./modules/system/templates/system_userform.html

Here is the smarty output in case it helps:
