blank screen on login

Hello Craig,

I would try manually setting the session save path. Put this

session_save_path('/home/users/web/b1771/as.bluecirc/phpsessions');

in /inc/header.php. Place it on LINE 21, right before "session_start();"

Then try and login again.

Hey Thanks for the speedy response but it must be something else -

I can see the session information being written to the directory but I still get a blank screen.

If this helps, the path is: www.bluecircledesigns.com/phnws

the id is admin and the password is bluecircle

I am just not sure what is going on. Any ideas you have would be great, as I said, I think this is just what I have been looking for.

Hello,

I noticed you are using phpns 2 alpha 2. This is a very outdated version
of phpns, with lots of bugs (including those that have serious security
issues) and lots of tuned down features.

I suggest trying out the 2.2.0 version, available on the website. Try
that one out, and see if it works.

I really appreicate your help (and fast response) but I am still having the same issue. I deleted the database and the whole directory on the system.

I downloaded the 2.2.0 gz file (which turned out to be the 2.1.3 version) which I installed then I downloaded the 2.2.0 upgrade patch and upgraded it to 2.2.0.

Then when I tried to login, it just cleared out the username and password and looped back to the login screen so I put in the phpsessions savepath line in the header.php (this time on line 22) and tried it again, this time I got past login to see that index.php was loading but again the same "done" in the lower left and a blank screen.

here is the current path: http://www.bluecircledesigns.com/phpns/login.php

username admin
pw thinkpad

Again my thanks for your help.

Craig

Actually, the folder you downloaded was indeed 2.2.0, but it seems like
the directory name was 2.1.3.

Anyway, it doesn't matter too much. What PHP/APACHE/MYSQL versions are
you using?

I am using PHP v4.4.7 and mysql 5.0.45. I am not sure about the version of apache, I use a shared server so I am not sure what the version of Apache is - I have my stuff hosted through ipower.com if that helps.

Thanks

Craig

Craig,

I'm not sure what else to try, it definitely seems to be a problem with
the server. If you find the issue, please post back. But in the
meantime, you might want to try something else. Another great system to
try is "Fusion News". Google it, it's fairly good.

Craig,

2.2.1 was just released, and I believe we found and fixed your problem.
Try it out.

Alec -

Hey man, I wanted to get back to you. I sent the problem to the support people at iPowerweb (my ISP) and they fixed the problem by upgrading to PHP v 5. It works great now. I am looking forward to starting to use it.

thanks again for all your really prompt help and advice. I am looking forward to using the product.

Regards,

Craig
