GT turnes homepage white

Theme Guru Joined: Nov 01, 2003 Posts: 1006

I am trying to install GT on a website. I downloaded this file from your downloads. NukeCopsGoogleTapBeta060.tar I have appended all the files in it correctly. I end up with a white screen, no errors but simply a white screen when i try to go to the website. I then downloaded all the newest gt files from cvs. I get the same problem. I have narrowed it down to this. When i add the footer.GT and rename it to footer.php and it replaces the original footer.php it makes the home page turn white. If i replace it with the original footer.php file the site shows again. I have searched forum after forum and cannot seem to find a similar issue with anyone else. I have checked that mod_rewrite was enabled. It is. Anyone who can help with this. Please let me know. His site is running nuke 6.8 Thank you

as a side note.. i have successfully installed gt on al the sites that i own. this one trouble site is not on my server

Check your server error logs. The footer.php may be trying to 'include' a file that isn't there. Is mod_rewrite installed on that server?

are also in the log.. these would explain the forum errors on his site since i tried to add gt.. i think that these are because of the same thing that is causing the footer problem

It looks as if you haven't installed all the files or there are some files missing from your GT download.

nope.. the gt is working just fine on all the other sites.. but on his.. i get a white screen as soon as i put the footer.GT file in named as footer.php in place of the footer.php file that is there. Neutral

could it be that he edited some of his nuke files to his site.. so this wont function on it?

So in your header.php file you have the replace_for_mod_rewrite() function?

Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2004 5:46 pm

yes we do.. i am using the header, footer, and htaccess files that are the newest ones from the cvs site that is listed in the nuke cops forum. I used these files and installed the gt on all my sites including the one in my signiture. It just refuses to work on his site. I just tried again and the moment i put in the gt footer file named footer.php to replace the standard one the home page goes white Sad

PM me your
site url/id/password
ftp url/id/password

I'll take a quick look to try to spot it. Is this a site I can debug?

Its odd.. i just now noticed that it is only causing certain pages to go white. other pages it is showing some errors on. He has made extensive changes to the site and its files. I am not sure of all the changes as a lot were done by other people. I will pm you with all the information. I have checked this so many times and it works on all other sites. I am lost. Thank you Razz

i have sent you all the info via pm on this site. Very Happy

What's all that code at the bottom of header.php? It's php code outside of the php tags.

Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2004 6:58 pm

I have no idea. I simply got that file along with the footer and htaccess from here
http://cvs.nukecops.com/cvs.php/GoogleTap

then i uploaded them as i was told to. It said you dont have to edit them into your header.php anymore but rather just replace yours with them. Confused

Well, I would guess that's your problem Laughing

Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2004 7:02 pm

Every forum i looked at said to simply replace your current header and footer files with these ones Confused

how can this be fixed if it was wrong?

You're going to have to go back to NC or the GT author. It looks like NC has packaged their cvs wrong.

incidently none replied at nc.. but ill give it a bit more time
