Death By white Screens

PostAuthor: stokes » Mon Dec 14, 2009 9:36 am

I've had numerous instances where the forum and protal are rendered useless because of "white screens everywhere." Until recently, it happened to me when I was doing admn stuff. I kinda wrote that off as me just doing something that I shouldn't. Recently, I've had the same thing happen with just regular users. Restoring the entire file system fixes it but obviously that is problematic in itself. Any idea on what is causeing that and how I might trouble shoot it? Also, thanks to all of you guys for your help.

I only know of one other person who has had this trouble even though all chmods were set correctly.
He was using mysqli and solved it by changing to mysql.
open root/config.php
see if your db is set to mysqli

$dbms = 'mysqli'

if so, change to:

$dbms = 'mysql4'

mysql4 works for 4 and 5.

It is possible that your server does not allow enough memory for the php scripts to run. try this.

OPEN root/config.php

FIND

define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);

AFTER, ADD

ini_set("memory_limit","16M");

My ISP tells me that is set a at higher level elsewhere on the server. Should I change it to 16 or 32 on my directory? ALso, apache is the owner of a couple of my template directories under pafiledb/cache/templates/dark, etc. Is that a problem?

apache owning the files means that they were created by your forum. This is normal for those files.

If you want me to look at your site and see if I can fix, email me your ftp login info
