baner Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I just set up my server w2k3 IIS after a hard disk failure, this time with php 5 instead of php 4.3.

♥Vger Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Okay, two errors to deal with. In both of your configure.php files make sure that the last line reads 'mysql' where indicated - storing sessions in the database and not in files. Next, read the '$this in uploads.php' link below my name. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanpatrick Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 FYI to anyone else experiencing the blank admin problem, I was able to fix it on one particular server by removing "www" from the URL listed in the admin/includes/configure.php. For some reason, the server wasn't liking that being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vger Hi - I'm having the same problem: my admin page just comes up blank with no errors displaying on it after trying to install version 2.1 one page checkout addon. I don't know how to turn on the php errors. Can someone help me figure out how to get these errors to display so that I can figure out where the problem is??

germ Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 See if your hosting service has an error log for your site you can examine. If not, see if they can setup one for you and tell you how to find it. There is one other method I can think of but it's very "tedious"... :blush: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

germ Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 The code works "as written" if you create the error log file in the same folder as the application_top file you edit. dirname(__FILE__) returns the folder path to the current file (application_top.php).

This is not important to your original problem, but might as well make this error and the next two go away. We could try to figure out why it doesn't like E_STRICT, but I don't know that it matters.
