[Fixed] Blank forum admin after installing coppermine

Regular Joined: Mar 26, 2006 Posts: 87 Location: UK

I have searched for similar issues but couldn't find anything relevant.

This is another Firefox Vs IE issue; after installing coppermine I get a blank forum admin in Firefox but not in IE.

The error produced is...

Quote:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/fhlinux189/t/test.jmr57.co.uk/user/htdocs/domian.com/admin/case.php:29) in /home/fhlinux189/t/test.jmr57.co.uk/user/htdocs/domian.com/Forums/admin/forums.php on line 52

Any advice please?

Have you searched the forums for 'cannot modify header' as this has been covered a number of times.

Disabling NIS2005 eliminates the problem, difficult to troubleshoot as there are no errors reported in the logs and no amount of tweaking the settings works. Odd that it's only a problem in Firefox and not in IE, and only occured affter installing coppermine.

I have no idea what NIS2005 is.
IE is a crap browser and that is why it might be allowing 'stiff' through that the stricter FF browser will not.

Obviously the problem lies with the install of Coppermine but.... checking every core file that had to be modified might be tiresome.

I think you will have to go over any edits you had to make to the core files.

Ok, I've gone back to basics. I've done a clean install of RavenNuke, stripped out all lang-nnnn.php files except for English ones, removed all themes except for the default fisubice, and cleared out the cache and cookies. The only alterations I've made to any file is, of course, config.php for which I've also set error reporting to true. I have added no extra blocks or modules, but I have set Forums to active, even though there is no content, for test purposes.

So, it seems to me NIS2005 is blocking something that troubles Firefox but not IE.

Is your host running PHP compiled as a cgi module?

Not sure without raising a ticket with my webhost, unless this can told from the information found by running...

Code:

<?


phpinfo();


?>

I don't know if this may have any relevance, but I can't have .htaccess in the root (500 Internal Server Error). When setting up Sentinel, 'Admin Auth:' had HTTPAuth or CGIAuth to select from and I chose the former.

[Edit]
Just had a look back at RavenNuke's installation docs and found this...

There are 2 basic ways that PHP can be integrated into Apache. One is as an Apache module and the other is as a CGI program. If your host is running PHP as an Apache module, then you have the capability of using HTTP Authentication as a function of the browser and you do not even need .htaccess/.staccess.

So I guess my webhost must be running PHP as an Apache module.

I'll consider this fixed now, as changing my security package from NIS seems to have sorted it.

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes running a phpinfo file will tell you how your host is running PHP
