Blank Install.php Results

[jjr2527]

Hello,

Trying to get up and running and the redirect worked fine for me but the install.php page is totally blank. I tried to "chmod the /data/" directory but I didn't know how to interpret that. Any ideas on what may be causing this?

Macbook running GetSimple under Mamp.

http://localhost:8888/GetSimple/admin/install.php Gives a blank page.

I updated /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/GetSimple/admin/inc/configuration.php to have the following content:
<?php
/****************************************************
*
* @File: configuration.php
* @Package: GetSimple
* @Action: Sitewide settings for cookies.
*
*****************************************************/
chmod("/data/", 755)
$site_full_name = 'GetSimple';
$site_version_no = '1.3';
$name_url_clean = strtolower(str_replace(' ','-',$site_full_name));
$site_link_back_url = 'http://get-simple.info/';
$ver_no_clean = str_replace('.','',$site_version_no);
$cookie_name = strtolower($name_url_clean) .'_cookie_'. $ver_no_clean;
$cookie_redirect = 'pages.php';
$cookie_login = 'index.php';
$cookie_time = '7200'; // 2 hours
$cookie_extended_time = time()+60*60*24*30; // 30 days
?>

You sure you have mod_rewrite enabled?

[ccagle8]

When you updated the configuration.php file, did it make any difference? Were you ever able to see the text on the install.php page?

[jjr2527]

No I never saw the text on the install page. I must admit I don't know what I'm doing so I think I'm missing the basic knowledge base that's assumed for this stuff.

To enable mod_rewite I didn't see an .htaccess file anywhere so I created one in the following location:
/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/GetSimple/.htaccess

With the following contents:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

Still no luck though, I get redirected but the resulting page is totally blank. Viewing source shows an empty source file as well so it's not rendering a portion of the page and then failing.

[Derek]

It seems that you are on a MAC - .htaccess files are hidden by default so you wouldn't be able to see it in finder.

Also, if you're using MAMP pro I know you can individualy add or remove apache components, but are you sure mod_rewrite is turned on in the apache configuration?

To find out for sure, make a file called test.php or whatever, with the following:
<?php
phpInfo();
?>

Do a search on that page for 'mod_rewrite' and it will tell you if it's actually enabled or not.

[foxman]

Check if php is set to output errors. You might be getting one but not seeing it due to the setting.

[eddyfever]

I think you don't have php5 running

[jjr2527]

Here are the results of the PhpInfo test. Still no luck thus far. Mamp control panel claims PHP5 is running.

Are you still using the .htaccess file you created or the one that comes in the installation?

[jjr2527]

I am still using the .htaccess file I mentioned earlier.

[Derek]

You need the following in the .htaccess file if it's the only install of GetSimple in that parent directory.

Code:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [L]

I installed the 1.3 version on php 5.1 and I encounter the same problem and don't see any screen or text on accessing the folder after the install. I am not sure about the mod_rewrite. I deleted the .htaccess file under the /data folder and I tried to follow the posts on this topic and my problem is not resolved. I have put the .htaccess file under the GetSimple folder with the following lines:

.htccess file
---------------
Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ /getsimple/index.php?id=$1 [L]

mj, just to see if this fixes it, remove lines 42-56 from the /admin/inc/functions.php file. After uploading it, let me know if you see anything different.

If this fixes it, it's because for some reason, his server doesn't allow remote url pickup with file_get_contents();

What you are deleting here is where you are getting a random-generated key that my server assigns you upon installation. It is used absolutely nowhere right now, but I had envisioned using it to create a sort of 'salt' to encrypt/protect certain processes.

[mj2009]

Yes.. after removing those lines, I got the installation screen, but the host where I am trying does not have php 5.1.3, but 5.1.2. And so ofcourse, it is not installed. IToo bad, they do not have 5.1.3. Thanks anyway!

[jjr2527]

I added the lines to the .htaccess but that didn't help.

I deleted the htaccess file from the data directory since that seems to have helped MJ. I also removed the function creating the "salt" as suggested. Still no luck

I have an .htaccess with the text specified above in the root of the GetSimple directory which is in the htdocs directory.

The only other .htacces I could find after deleting the one in the data directory is the one in the backup directory which I figured should be left alone.

[Derek]

Code:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

## Uncomment to have multiple instances of GetSimple on the same server. Replace demo with the folder SM is installed in.
RewriteBase /GetSimple/

## If you uncomment out the above line, comment this one out.
## RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [L]

I get the same blank page. I'm trying to install it on my local pc using WAMP, I already checked and I DO have rewrite enabled. Any solution to this? I really want to start playing with with!

... had that problem with v1.4 and the same with 1.5 - in this version I skipped line 42-62 and everything went fine...

[Henry]

Any help? I would like to get this CMS running on a local host?

[ccagle8]

Henry, did you remove those lines that wizzy mentioned? in ver 1.4, the fucntion was using file_get_contents(), and in ver 1.5 it is using curl. I've read that curl is the better option of the two, so thats why i went with it now.

[Henry]

Thanks! I got it to work. Going to develop a theme for it have to design it first

[ccagle8]

I think alot of these types of problems are when people try to install it on localhost. Putting it on a regular host wouldn't have this problem near as much.

I cant wait to see themes for this! Don't forget to add it to the Themes forum here.

[Henry]

Maybe you should make this a sticky? Or have some info kind of FAQ for localhost testers?

This worked for me on Windows 7 with WAMP:

1. Put the .htaccess file in the root of GetSimple
2. Modify your .htaccess by replacing it with this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

3. Delete lines 42-56 from the /admin/inc/functions.php
4. Click on WAMP Server in your taskbar (bottom right corner) then go to Apache=>Apache Modules=>rewrite_module(make sure this is checked)
5. Restart WAMP

That worked for me hope it works for whoever needs assistance.

[HeatherFeuer]

Just a quick note to say that I also got a blank install.php page. I am using "XAMP on a stick" on my Windows Vista Ultimate laptop running on localhost.

I commented out the part of functions.php listed above and it now the page loads correctly. Thanks

hi, friends.
I am using linux ubuntu with apache2 and php 5.2.4; Chmoded the /data/ to what it has to be.
When trying to install getting the redirection to install.php with blank screen.
Commented lines 42 — 62 out (something on the subject of $api_file), got the insallation screen. However, after I fill the form and submit it, I get to problems:
1) “Error: There was a problem sending out the registration information via email. Please make note of the password below.”
2) After I make myself a note and press on the “log in” link (href="index.php") it redirects me back to the install.php file. Like nothing happened.

Please suggest what to do. GetSimple v. 1.5
