Hello There,

I have just installed your serendipity-1.0.3a blog.
I am running php 5.0.5 and Apache 2.0

Everything went fine until the install had finished successfully and I tried to go to: -

http://mydomain/blog/index.php

The page is just blank (white). If I try and access : -

http://mydomain/blog/serendipity_admin.php

I can access the admin login screen and create new categories etc etc

If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!

Please check your webservers and PHP error log. Blank pages usually mean a fatal error that is not displayed, but only logged in your logs.

Often this is due to missing write privileges or missing files.

HTH,

Hello,

Thanks for coming back,

I have this from the apache error log: -

[Sat Nov 18 22:53:20 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: serendipity in C:\\Webs\\webroot\\SITE1\\Blog\\index.php on line 20



but not sure what it means exactly. As for the php log I cannot find it anywhere?I will keep looking...

Does this mean anything to you?

Hi!

Hm, that one is only a php "Notice" which should be non-fatal and only verbose, so it should not be the cause of it. Do you see any other problems?

Maybe you can try to temporarily remove your .htaccess file and see if itworks without it?

HTH,
Garvin

Hi There,

I have since reinstalled the blog and it is fine, I can only assume I had made a mistakes somewhere.

Thanks for your help though, much appreciated.
