Full Version: New install... index.php loads with blank screen
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
IE 7, on windows xp pro sp3. My server is a freshly installed novell server running 6.5 sp7. I used the NetWare AMP (NetWare 6, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Perl) installation for the server install, so everything I need should be running.

I copied all the files up to vol1:\website\ which is set as my default web directory in apache2. When i browse to http://servername/install it seems to load something... but i get a blank page... nothing else.

I can see that apache is running, mysql is running and so is PHP.

I do not know what to do from here.

Thanks in advance!

I get these php errors when i turn on error logging in /install/index.php

You'll need to reconfigure the php.ini open_basedir directive. See http://ca3.php.net/features.safe-mode

If you don't own the server, you should talk to your system administrator about it.
I own the server... Its sitting here on my desk. What do i change it to? I'm quite the n00b to this.
Can you find a file called php.ini on your system?
yes i know where it is
There should be an open_basedir line there, try adding .. to it

open_basedir=.;..;sys;/tmp

something maybe like that
BOOOOOOYA! Nice work man. That did it!

Thank you much!
