Can you find out what PHP is configured at for Max Mem? Perhaps it is something entirely too low.
Well, the memory limit isn’t showing in the phpinfo() page, so I don’t know what it’s set at. I’m *assuming* it’s the usual 8MB (but we all know what happens when you assume something!)
For the record, I also can’t use .htaccess for anything – anytime I do I get a 500 Internal server error. If you have any ideas (other than calling them again – criminy, what a PITA) on how to find out what it is, that’d be cool…I’m looking more right now. But yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s it (but wouldn’t a low memory limit also render the admin area unusable, too? I can get in there and do things just fine.)
Well, I am back on this one. I contacted Network Solutioans (again), and they closed the ticket without talking to me about th eissue (again!), but at least they offered a *little* bit of advice this time.
I can’t increase the max mem – however, if I’m reading what they sent me correctly, then the max mem is either 8MB or 32 MB (I can’t tell which!) The code they sent me to test the php.ini file reads the results like so:
upload_max_filesize 5M
pfpro.defaulttimeout
session.gc_maxlifetime 1440
max_execution_time 30
post_max_size 8M
max_input_time -1
smtp 25
core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 24574 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) 60 max user processes (-u) 10 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) 29296 file locks (-x) unlimited max_mem file locks (-x) unlimited
Don’t know what half of that means. But it doesn’t look like anything out of the ordinary.
So, I’m still stuck on the part where I can log in, make posts – do everything in the admin area – but when you view the site, it’s just a blank white page. No PHP errors or warnings to be had (I’ve put in code to force errors to show, and nothing comes up.)
Any ideas on this would be great.
My first action when I see a blank white page is to enable php errors to be visible by changing the .htaccess file
Just include the line:
php_flag display_errors on
If this shows the problem, and you solve it, don’t forget to remove this line or comment it out.
This might only work if your PHP is running as an Apache module
Thanks Reggie – but as stated before, I can’t edit the .htaccess file (it always returns a 500 internal server error), and I’ve already turned on the PHP error display (using PHP) and nothing shows.
I should also note that this isn’t like the other “blank white pages” thing that comes up when I’ve done searches – most of them say that if you view the source code, it says <html><body></body></html> – this doesn’t even say that. The view source is also blank. (and white. heehee. Sorry, couldn’t pass that up!)
Solved it! I downloaded a copy of the new one: 2.0.7. Wiped the slate clean and installed that version – and now it’s up and running.
Woah. That’s rather wild. FastCGI related?
Regardless, grats on finding a solution!
