The e-commerce.

Randomly render HTML open and close tags only?

My pages will randomly only render this code.

 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

 

This seems to happen everywhere, whether logged in or not and I have tried a fresh install as well but the problem still exists.

Refresh does nothing, and quite often if you hit the back button you get either another blank page or sometimes a server permission error for that directory.

 

The only way to fix is to close all browser windows and start again, and thats hardly something I would want to instruct users to do!! :)

I dropped the entire sql tables and re created the database from the original download and problem goes away instantly.

I guess this means the tables are getting corrupted or something to do with the connections??

I've tried installing oscommerce on a Windows machine running IIS 5.0 and I'm getting the same "BLANK PAGE" results. View Source shows opening and closing HTML tags ONLY... No errors... Nothing appears in the web browser.

 

Mine is not spuratic behavior, all php scripts in the oscommerce distribution come up blank in the browser. I'm sure the config files are correct and I know PHP and MySQL are functioning properly.

 

I'm thinking it has something to do with web server configuration, but what?? osCommerce is supposed to work with IIS, right?

 

I developed this particular osCommerce/ecommerce solution on my Linux box with no problems, but the client I'm working for must have the scripts installed on his own Windows server running IIS where he hosts multiple domains.

My site is running on IIS. The only problems I've encountered that were unique from linux are permissions. You have to make sure that every file security settings are properly set for an internet guest account .

If you are getting a blank page, maybe php isn't configured or installed properly?
