Geeklog Forums

My second install of Geeklog is stumped.

The page error reads:

"Unfortunately, an error has occurred rendering this page. Please try again later."

My error log reads:

The only menu items that don't throw an error are home (index.php), Advanced Search (search.php), Site Statistics (stats.php), Dirctory (directory.php), My Account (usersettings.php), GL Version Check Test (versioncheck.php), Documentation (docs/index.html) & install/install.php.

The pages that throw errors are any of the php files in the admin subdirectory, with the exception of install/install.php, and any php files in links, polls, and calendar.

I am doing a basic install with standard paths. I have spent hours pouring over my paths in config and lib-common and I can't find a thing.

I had to chmod logs, data, backups, backend and images to 777.

TIA
!

Set your rootdebug = true in your config.php file and then load up your page to see what your error is. Then you should have a better clue as to whats causing the errors.

Michael

Setting <$_CONF['rootdebug'] = true;> doesn't net any messages.

Setting <$_COM_VERBOSE = true;> in lib-common.php gets me the messages I listed above.

The comment in lib-common.php states:

/**
* Turn this on to get various debug messages from the code in this library
* @global Boolean $_COM_VERBOSE
*/

I note that all the errors seem to be thrown when hitting subdirectories with php files in them that colntain <require_once ('../lib-common.php';>.

install/install.php worked and doesn't have that reference.

I tried <chmod -R 777 links layout> to no avail, to see if links.php would start working.

OK, so I am not getting any relevant error reporting even though most of my site won't load.

I checked my error log for a previous install of Geeklog, 1.3.11 or something, and I have reams of exactly the same errors as are posted above. I had left reporting turned on in lib-common.php and never checked the error log because I never had a problem. So I should be running if you believe the error log.

Did you fix the "include /path/to/geeklog/config.php" line in you lib-common.php?

If you have access to your server, you may want to turn your logging on for php errors in your php.ini file.



just a thought that might help. i have mine turned on and it helps alot.

Michael

I couldn't find anything wrong with the "include /path/to/geeklog/config.php" line in my lib-common.php . It simply reads < require_once( './../config.php' ); > which is correct.

My setup uses the standard paths.

All references to lib-common.php in various index.php files are correct too.

I don't have access to the php.ini but I put this in an .htaccess file:

php_flag display_errors on
php_flag display_startup_errors on
php_value error_reporting 2047

No result.

Found it on a unfamiliar site:

http://fundisom.com/phpsnippets/snip/directories/htaccess_error_handling/

I am running out of time and may ask the host's support if I can think of an intelligent and relevant way to put it.

No, it's not. This has to be a full and absolute path.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I don't even know how it got that way. I thought it unpacked like that. But when I checked the box, it definitely reads /path/to/geeklog/config.php . :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:

Thank you.
