Noob Q: Blank screen after installation

Thanks for your interest in PHPDevShell.

The first places to look at in such a case are, in order:

- the webserver's log
- the logs files of your PHPDevShell installation (located in /write/logs)
- the console of your browser (F12 on Firefox and Chrome)

In my experience, a blank screen at that stage is the symptom of a javacript error: the browser stops executing the javascript code before the "show()" instruction, leaving you with a white page.

If you don't find a clue there, please send me these logs at <email address hidden> so I can look at them.

Thanks Greg.

There is indeed an error report in the write/logs folder. The same one gets created everytime I try to run the site.

"mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

The error occurred in file C:\xampp\htdocs\phpdev\includes\PHPDS_legacyConnector.class.php at line 137'

Not quite sure what this actually means but I will try to dig into it further unless anyone here knows what the answer is.

Cheers

The error message is:

"mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

That means that PHPDevShell tried to connect to the database server running on the same computer, using the account "root" and a password (which is not displayed for security reasons) - and that connection was rejected by the database server.

If you indeed intend to connect using the "root" account, you probably mistyped the password. If you created a special account for the site (the prefered way of doing things), either you forgot to specify its name, or you edited the wrong config file.

Thanks. Sorted now. Idiot error. Everything was correct all along but I'd re-named the config file incorrectly (twice!)

Cheers

Good. I'll try to see if we can provide a better feedback than a blank screen.

Happy coding!

Thank you for this this is perfect!
