Hi guys... I am working on a friends site for him and just upgraded/patched his site a day or two ago.

Yesterday I went to edit the Forums in the Forum admin. area and it will only load to a blank page. (?)

I am not even sure where to begin looking for this problems fix. I have searched your board and tried a couple of possible fixes and none of those work.

The Link to the Forums admin page shows as follows:

Needless to say it loads to a blank page so I can not "see what the error is" Any Ideas on the fix ???

In config.php set error reporting to true and see what errors you get (if any).

i remembered i had a similar thing long ago...was caused by the forum config including the mainfile to many times...

The Code in modules/forums config.php looks like this

Code:

if(defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


    @include_once("mainfile.php");


} else {


    @include_once("../../mainfile.php");


}


define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);

I also tried turning on the error reporting...I got nothing no error reported and still get a blank page for the Forum Admin page. (?)

Ok..
First backup your files right?.....
Ok..then put ONLY this in the forum config....

define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);

Files as in the entire forum or just how the config was before the edit ?

Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2006 6:40 pm

No...
Only backup the file your gonna edit..
So in this case the config in your forum...

The only thing in the config should only be the include i posted...

hmmm Did the edit as you suggested...Still get a blank page (?)

I don't know if this will give you a clue as to what is wrong...but when I veiw the source on the "blank page for forum admin" all that is there is...

Code:

<html><body></body></html>

Well the entire file should be

Code:




<?


define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);


?>

Try going to modules/Forums/admin directly
Not sure what else it could be

pdoobepd, did you solve this? I'm having the same problem (word by word) with nuke 7.4 & Sentinel 2.4.2. I tried every fix suggested in this topic, but no one worked.

Nope Problem not solved. I haven't had time to re-install site into new directory and start fresh yet. So Yes the forum admin page is still showing up Blank.

OK, I think I'll reinstall the site too. Thanks for your answer.

Been searching for this solution as well. Same boat (7.5 with 3.1 patch).

Trying all solutions with no success. Hoping to avoid a full re-install. Any more ideas?

Ok, found this link in another thread on this site. I'll repost the link here in case someone finds this thread first Wink

This solved it for me.

I did the things listed in the above nukefixes post, yet still have a plank forums page and the illegal path disclosure.
