[Solved] Blank Screen on loading "install.php"

Hi all...

I've been using the IMPortal for a while now, but I reached it's limits quickly as to adding new mods. And since I've been working to implement a lot of add-ons to my site, it wasn't making anysence to keep chaning every change I've already made, everytime I want to add something. I'm not a pro at this, so my knowledge is limited.
(not that I'm lazy, but still, I only know how to follow mod instructions and I notice stuff, but I don't really know code myself)

So I've been looking into IntegraMod at home and played arround with the setup of it all, running it on localhost with EasyPHP 1.8.
After some searching I found a theme that would temporarily suite my needs and decided that IntegraMod is the exact thing I would want for my site.
Got it all to work on localhost really quickly, but when I attempted to install it on my Server, I got only a blank page when addressing install.php <img>
After some researching the matter, I found out that it was because my server runs PHP5.1.2 and IntegraMod doesn't seem to support PHP5.
EasyPHP only runs with PHP4.3.10, so it's working fine there.
Also, obviously my Windows 2003 Server runs with IIS 6+ (or 7, don't know for sure anymore) and EasyPHP uses Apache server. (didn't check the version though).

So I was forced to try it on my webspace, hosted by a company.
The webspace is hosted by a linux machine runing apache and PHP4.4.2. But Still... It won't work there either.
Is PHP4.4+ also not supported? Only 4.3+? Or is there something else I'm doing wrong?

Tonight I will try to downgrade my servers PHP version, hoping that my current website and database will still be able to run properly, so I can test the IntegraMod site on my server.
However... I would prefer to be using PHP5 though, so maybe somebody could let us know if there will be a future (rewritten-)version that will be supported by PHP5?

Hope somebody can help! I'm desperately wanting to start using IntegraMod.

PS: Also... If anybody knows somebody that's good at helping me port the theme I'm currently using to work on IntegraMod... Please let me know!

Damn... just noticed now on the front page that PHP5 is being worked on :S
Sorry about that guys!

Still the questions remains about PHP4.4.2. Should it work or not?

Once 1.4.1 is released we will have PHP5 support (or so the rumors are saying).

Along these lines, is there any idea on when we might see 1.4.1 released? There was a "tenative" announcement of "3 weeks from now" which was roughly 3 weeks ago; any new progress on that, i.e. bumped another 3 weeks, etc.? And/or is there a signup list available (to be emailed when 1.4.1 and any other upgrades/updates become downloadable)?

As for IM 141 I don't recall seeing a 3 week time frame but I can say it is actively being worked on.

It will be released but a time frame has not been set. Please be patient and keep checking for it's release. <img>

One other thing nGAGE,

To test sites employing php 5.xx you will need to remove Easyphp and install XAMPP for windows or linux. Things will look a bit different but you will soon get use to it. It has all the latest bells and whistles including php 5.xx. even if it is not quite as user friendly in some areas.

If you need help with it post back.
Mike

Just to clear things up, the 3-week timeframe I was referencing came from Adriaan (who was also purely speculating at the time) on the "old" site.

Still patiently waiting <img>
Keep up the good work guys; as long as the quality is decent IM is always going to be worth the wait!

Thnx Michaelo,

I'll try out this XAMPP (will google for it after this post <img> ).

In the meantime a little update on all the versions I was able to test with EasyPHP.
I've tried all 4.x versions upto 4.4.2 on EasyPHP, by simply copying the zipped files into the PHP folder. Then obviously checking with phpinfo what version is used, confirming it.
They all seem to display the site properly with the exception of one thing, which I doubt has anything to do with the PHP version.
[code]  Warning]

But the thing I don't understand is, my webhost provides PHP4.4.2 and it's not displaying while the PHP4.4.2 version on EasyPHP (which is also Apache) does work.
Only thing that is runing on the webhost, that I don't have on EasyPHP, is Hardening Patch for PHP.
Please don't ask me what it is! I've looked it up and seemingly it is a patch that protects you from certain exploits to be used. But I don't know anything else about that!


Tonight I will try to down grade my own server's PHP version to 4.4.2 or even 4.3.11, hoping it will bring up all websites. Will keep you posted on the results.


Thnx for the advise on XAMPP. I'll try it!

nGAGE, do a search here for xampp... I have one or two other posts that may be of some help.

Note that IntegraMod versions prior to the 1.4.1 (expected soon) require php below 5.xx.

The error above was fixed in 1.4.0 so I don't know why you are getting it. It relates to php version I remember that much, so you are on the right track.

Thnx m8.

I did do the search on XAMPP... found it and downloaded it. Haven't tried it yet though. Actually got the site to work now!
I've downgraded my server's PHP version to the same as EasyPHP (which is 4.3.10) and the site works fine.
The error I was getting also disappeared as soon as I ran the 2.017 to 2.019 patch. So that solved that! Theme seems to be fine as well. Haven't spotted any incompatibilities yet :(
No time to port it myself. Let me know if anybody want's to port AcidTechEx. (my version is slightly modified, but would be great if somebody did!) Something for Theme Request section?

Thanks a lot anyhow! Will keep popping in!

Yeah... you're right... AcidTechEx is actually part of the AcidTech package. It's just the Extended version that spreads over the complete width of the browser window.
But ehm... :P

Got it!

Thnx.
