Serendipity Forums

I'm not sure if this is actually a bug or a configuration issue, but, when I click on a Category Link in the Category Plugin, I get a blank screen.

Example link: http://digitalthom.com/categories/GTD - there are a number of posts with the category GTD.

I would expect a page showing all the posts under that category, but instead I get a white blanks page.

Same thing happens with category links in the post footer.

I am using 1.1 beta 6.

TIA

Hi!

A blank page often means a fatal PHP error. Did you check your PHP error log and see for errors?

Maybe it's an issue with your customized permalinks, or URL rewriting. If you turn off URL rewriting, does it work? Or if you insert %id% into the permalink again, does it work then?

No errors in the log.

Yes, disabling URL rewriting fixes the problem, but isn't the desired results. I added the category %id% to the link, and still doesn't work.

I still don't understand why URL rewriting works for posts but not for categories?

Hi!

Are you using Apache Errorhandling or mod_rewrite for URL rewriting?

Basically it should work. Blank pages usually mean fatal errors, did you enable PHP error_logging with a meaningful error_reporting level?

Hello, and thanks for helping me.

Here is an example from the PHP error log...
[Wed Dec 13 14:44:09 2006] [error] [client xx.xx.xxx.xx] File does not exist: /digitalthom/html/category/software/

There is one for each category that I clicked on. But there isn't any other type of error. This really doesn't tell me anything, does it you?

I am using mod_rewrite. I tried Apache Errorhandling with the same results.
