Did you unzip the beta on your PC then upload those files to your host?

[zula]

yes, i read it in the install instructions but i didn't know it was gonna create this problem, i only thought it was for simplicity sake <img>

[Fubie]

You can do it that way, but sometimes files don't upload correctly is all.

Do you have CPanel on your host?

If so you can upload the zip file to your forum directory and use cpanels filemanager to unzip it.

Then your chmod's should be done for you and less of a chance of bad file uploads. <img>

i am deleting previous install and will try unziping it in my cpanel, thanx for hel fubie

[zula]

ok, so i finally had it installed and everything seems to work fine except that i get black page every time i want to check the message, member list, log in, admin, but profile and user groups work? any hints on this one?

[Fubie]

A black page??? or do you mean blank? Can you provide a link?

[zula]

A black page??? Can you provide a link?

That link redirects to an invalid link with no .COM in the URL on my end. Very strange.

Can you post a link that doesn't require someone to be logged in? Do those pages work?

Mike SID removed from link

[zula]

yes, everything works before you log in but as i log in i get blank page on this url:
http://www.dddentallab.com/login.php

at this point i tried to hit refresh and it didn't work, then i tried to hit back button twice and it returned me to the this url

http://www.dddentallab.com/index.php

and it shows me as loged in, with one new message showing as well, but when i click on message link to see what in the inbox i get blank page with this url

http://www.dddentallab.com/privmsg.php?folder=inbox
i am really not sure what to do, the forum domain is http://www.dddentallab.com and i have created user

testuser and testing as password for the user if anyone wants to check it out i would appreciate this

I've never seen this redirect thing where the location changes in the URL like that. You might double check your cookie name and domain in your admin (or config file if you can't get to the admin part) that you have .ddentallab.com as your domain setup.

i have looked in to config.php file but there is nothing except my database info. nothing out of the ordinary

[gcomfx.com]

Sorry, may not be in there, might be in the database or something. I currently don't have a forum up yet. Hoping to do a clean install tonight. Silly Hackers...

[zula]

anyone else care to give it a shot and see what's with this forum i installed?

[Fubie]

I have tried duplication your results on xampp and on my host, I can't duplicate it.

[Imajica]

only times I've seen this is when I was installing 1.4.0 and did not set the proper permissions on includes/def*

and when I tried to install on an improper php config

hope this give you a direction at least

[Michaelo]

Never post a link containing the SID... Firstly it can allow access under certain conditions (if your real clever) and secondly it should result in a blank page...

[Michaelo]

zula, After I removed the SID for my link I can browse the site perfectly. If the problem is only when a user logs in, set up a temp member so we can test...

yes, i mentioned it in previous posts,

"testuser" as log in
"testing" as a password.

also, if you click to view only forum i have on it, which is "Welcome new member", then you will see blank page withouth loging in

i have rechecked all permissions instruction included with install, everything is ok as far as that goes.

[Michaelo]

zula, I'm brain dead....

[zula]

well, its good to see you didn't lose sence of humor <img> , however we do have to figure what is going on here?

[Michaelo]

Zip up the three files and drop me a PM attaching them I will check them here and if I can reproduce the blank page I will post back.

sorry, i don't know which 3 files did you want?

[Michaelo]

Look at the second post in the security forum it details three files that need edits..
