I just did am installation on my local machine and the blocks are not showing on the main page. I get no menus, no login block, and if I create a block it does not show either. Here is my system

Windows XP
Apache 2.2.2 (run via Xampp)
MySQL 5.0.21
PHP 5
Xoops 2.2.3a Final

Here is the PHP Debug on the main page:

Hi Swain,

make sure all your cache dirs are empty (/cache and templates_c) Reload all your files, it looks like some may be missing. Make sure your them is actually available and that XOOPS is checking for it. You could turn on the XOOPS default theme to see if that clears things up, too.

Bon chance!

I cleared everything out, and started with a fresh install. It did the same thing. So then I tried an install of 2.0.16, and the menus appeared. I then tried it again with 2.2.5 and again, no menus. 2.2.3 used to work on this machine, so I am not certain what is wrong. It makes no sense for me to use 2.0.16 as my server runs 2.2.3. Unfortunally, the MySQL/blocks debug does not work on the main page so I am lost at getting info there. Any other suggestions????

I have the same problem, left hand blocks have gone, they where there then i clicked a link, and they went.

I'm running an exact copy of the same site and db, and the blocks show up on that, but if i copy the working site to my broken one, the blocks don't show.

Both are XOOPS 2.2.5 rc2

errors given are

SELECT DISTINCT i.instanceid, b.*, i.* FROM xoops_block_instance i, xoops_newblocks b, xoops_block_module_link m WHERE m.block_id=i.instanceid AND i.instanceid IN (1,2,3) AND i.visible=1 AND i.bid=b.bid AND b.isactive=1 AND m.module_id=0 AND m.pageid IN (0, 1) ORDER BY i.weight,i.instanceid
