TOPIC: Backend not working

Hi,

I've installed 4.0 beta 1 into my Joomla site. The plugin works fine in the frontend, but I cannot use the backend. All pages are empty when I click it.

I checked my database jos_comment_setting: totally empty.

Any clues what to do now?

Regards,
Bouke

which php and mysql version do you have?

Also check /public_html/administrator/error_log file - usually the "blank page" means that visual errors are turned off (it is supposed to show a PHP error) but instead they are being spat-out to the error_log - so check there and tell us what it's on the first few lines.

@Daniel Dimitrov, my versions are:

Database Version: 4.1.21-standard-log
Database Collation: utf8_general_ci
PHP Version: 4.4.7
Web Server: Apache/2.0.46 (CentOS)


@JonusC

I cannot find the file and since I'm on a shared hosting provider, I cannot enable php error (tried the 'php_flag display_errors on' in .htaccess). So I cannot provide any error messages. Sorry.

When you install joomlacomment the settings table is empty - it read the data from the default.config.php file. When you open content settings and click save, then the data is stored in the database.

Hey Bouke, please read this:
compojoom.com/blog/8-news/71-system-requirements.html

You need php5 and also the best thing is mysql5 to run joomlacomment.

Oh no... Both versions are out of date

I did find a way to enable display_errors in php and it gave me this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/vhosts/jume.nl/httpdocs/administrator/components/com_comment/toolbar.comment.html.php on line 29

I guess I need to look into an other hosting provider... Or host my website myself. Thanks for replying this fast guys!

Bouke

Great post by the way

I like you posted the year when php5 en mysql5 was released... Slapping the ears of my hosting provider!!! Looking forward to your ie6 war...

Bouke, perhaps doing this will get joomlacomment to work:
compojoom.com/forum/6-bug-report/2413-pa...e.html?start=20#4851

But I'm really not responsible if something else is not working
Best thing is php5 and mysql5

I'm very sorry for intervention, but I'm using PHP5 and MySQL5.
And still I see blank (empty) page when I press "read more".
On front page article is displaying correctly, but still if I open it to read the full story - I see a blank page.
The thing that turns me into confusion is that other articles are displaying correctly and I even can comment them (that is great!).
But this problem article (with blank screen) force me to turn comments off...
I don't know what can cause that problem. Content is the same (text+image)...
I even try to create new article and add the same content there, but result is the same - empty blank page

php_error.log on my local server:

What does your error log say?

what a fast reply! thanks!
I've just finished editing my previous post...

Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted - as I see there is something with memory size...
Changing php.ini to "memory_limit = 12M" gave no effect...

LOL, man! 12M????
Recommended setting for joomla1.5 is 32M or even better 64M!

yep, it was the memory size, sorry man my mistake.

here is the solution for those who are using MAMP PRO:
drupal.org/node/66187

it's on drupal, but stiil is the same if you are using it with joomla
