No Site Display after moving from local server to webspace

Post by Quick_Mik »

Hi folks,

first I installed serendipity on my local apache web browser and tested some features. I finished testing and edited a theme till it suits to me.
Then i checked the FAQ on this pages for moving the installation to my webspace so I need not to do the whole work again 8)
I followed the steps (DB dump, edit the .._config_local file, etc.) to move it to a subdirectoy and as I called the index page on my webspace I got an internal server error. I discovered that it wasn´t possible to execute any .php file in this subdir. In every other subdir there was no prob. I localized the .htaccess file as the reason so I edited it. No chance and change :(
However, I tested around with this file on my local webserver and deleted it there; the blog´s still running.
After I deleted the file on the webspace, I got no more errors, but the page is only displayed as a blank white site. Even when you look at the Site Code, there´s nothing, not only a word. Also when I call the admin login it´s only blank. Other .php sites are now running in this subdirectory.
Has anyone got any idea whats going on there?

Thanks for that

Greetings

Hi!

Blank pages usually mean fatal PHP errors. The most suspectible fatalling page would be serendipity_config_local.inc.php. Did you maybe add a parse error in that file? Can you enable verbose PHP error reporting?

Don´t have a clue

Hi,

I checked my serendipity_config_local.inc.php and found no points that are not clear anyway.
Here´s the content of the file, except the comments:

Code: Select all

	$serendipity['versionInstalled']  = '1.2';
	$serendipity['dbName']            = 'usr_....._1';
	$serendipity['dbPrefix']          = 'serendipity_';
	$serendipity['dbHost']            = 'localhost';
	$serendipity['dbUser']            = '.....';
	$serendipity['dbPass']            = '.....';
	$serendipity['dbType']            = 'mysql';
	$serendipity['dbPersistent']      = false;
	$serendipity['dbCharset']         = 'utf8';
I tried to reinstall the blog, but still the same result. Unfortunately I´m not able to enable verbose PHP error reporting.
During reinstalling I found some Option on the install screen, which differ from the references. Detailed these are register_globals on instead of off; magic_quotes_gpc dito and image isn´t present.
Could this be the reasons for the failure? Or maybe the underscores in the DB name?

Hi!

No, those shouldn't be the errors. Hard to debug, you really need to get to the PHP and Apache error logs.
