Forums blank/not working

Posted: Tue Dec 21, 2004 11:45 pm

i have transferred my phpnuke site including database to a new hosting server. i was checking through my site and clicked on the forums mod, but when i do, nothing comes up, just a blank page, no error or anything.

what am i missing? I edited the site main config.php file to use to connect to the database, but what other things should i be doing? Thanks as always for any help!!

Check the error log on your web server for any errors.

this was in my script.log file:

%% [Wed Dec 22 19:20:22 2004] GET /php/modules.php?name=Forums HTTP/1.1
%% 404 /z/dr/wearbling/us1/php/modules.php
%error
script not found or unable to stat
%%

It scrolls you to the one you need Smile

Why do my PM emails have the wrong URL?

Posted: Sun Dec 26, 2004 10:35 pm

thanks but right now my domain name in the forum config panel reads:

mydomain.com

am i supposed to add "/html" behind it? when i go to:
http://www.mydomain.com/modules.php?name=Forums

i just get a blank white page.

You have to include the subfolder that your nuke site is in, if it is in a subfolder. For instance, if your domain translates to '/z/dr/wearbling/us1/php/' then that's not the problem. However, if your domain actually points to '/z/dr/wearbling/us1' then you would need to put

http://www.mydomain.com/php as the site URL and then once you get the forum admin screen up you will enter www.mydomain.com in the DOMAIN NAME field.

Did it ever wook?

well, i have made the above changes to my site URL and in the forum congig panel, but still get the blank white page when going to the message boards.

here, see for yourself
http://www.mommysource.com/modules.php?name=Forums

how do i find out where php is actually located in? I did a site transfer, so i just transferred all my files from another site server.

The fact that you can reach your site with http://www.mommysource.com/modules.php?name=Forums means that your Site url should be reading http://www.mommysource.com
and you Domain Name (in Forum admin) should be reading
www.mommysource.com

At this point, I would have to access your site to debug.

well, my settings are just what you've said they should be. how would i go about debugging the issue? thanks!

ps i am in kansas too!

does anyone have any other feedback on what could possibly be the problem! My forums are still not accessible and i don't know HOW to begin to understand what the problem is!!

Thanks so much!

Are you sure all the files in modules/Forums got ftp'd? Have you tried re-ftp'ing the Forums folder?

Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2004 6:54 pm

i went and looked just to make sure. looks like everything made it okay though. any other thoughts?

Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2004 7:34 pm

Please PM me your
site url and create a GOD admin account for me

well, i tried to go in and make a new admin user via the admin screen, but when i type in the new info (in Edit Admins) it just takes me to a blank screen so i now i've discovered that this too isn't working!

i am so ready to give up!!!!!

Don't give up. Just include your admin id/pass when you PM me the info.

ok what ya need to do is compare the SQL file for your version of nuke (open with notepad) go to your database tables on your server and compare table order from the SQL file to the tables of your database...they MUST match in order, table for table

hope this helps
