Blank screen

Post by dionne_mitchell »

Hi

I am trying to install timetrex. I believe i have made the correct changes to the timetrex.ini.php file. i am using Windows and this is what i have so far

;
;
; TimeTrex Configuration File
;
;

;
; System paths. NO TRAILING SLASHES!
;
[path]
;URL to TimeTrex web root directory. ie: http://your.domain.com/<BASE_URL>
base_url = /timetrex/interface

;
;log directory
;
;Linux
;log = /var/log/timetrex
;Windows
log = c:\program files\apache group\apache2\htdocs\timetrex\log

;
;Misc storage, for attachments/images
;
;Linux
;storage = /var/timetrex/storage
;Windows
storage = c:\program files\apachegroup\apache2\htdocs\timetrex\storage

;
;Full path and name to the PHP CLI Binary
;
;Linux
;php_cli = /usr/bin/php
;Windows
php_cli = c:\php\php.exe



;
; Database connection settings. These can be set from the installer.
;
[database]
type = mysql
host = localhost
database_name = timetrex
user = root
password = root



;
; Cache settings
;
[cache]
enable = TRUE
;Linux
;dir = /tmp/timetrex
;Windows
dir = c:\program files\apache group\apache2\htdocs\timetrex\temp



[debug]
;Set to false if you're debugging
production = TRUE

enable = FALSE
enable_display = FALSE
buffer_output = TRUE
enable_log = TRUE
verbosity = 10



[other]
; Force all clients to use SSL.
force_ssl = FALSE
installer_enabled = TRUE

;WARNING: DO NOT CHANGE THIS AFTER YOU HAVE INSTALLED TIMETREX.
;If you do it will cause all your passwords to become invalid,
;and you may lose access to some encrypted data.
salt = 0

;<? if (; //Cause parse error to hide from prying eyes, just in case. DO NOT REMOVE?>

I created the log, temp and storage directory in the timetrex directory...is this correct?

when i point to http://localhost/timetrex/interface/install/install.php
i get a blank screen.

is there any special configuration for apache or php for timetrex?

I believe i have followed the instructions properly so i am not certain what the problems can be.

Please advise

dir = c:\program files\apache group\apache2\htdocs\timetrex\temp

Code: Select all

dir = "c:\program files\apache group\apache2\htdocs\timetrex\temp"
Try putting quotes around your directory names, like the above example.

You will need to check your PHP error log to see whats going on, or enable PHP to display errors.

A blank page usually means their is a fatal error occurring in PHP, which is usually caused by invalid syntax in the timetrex.ini.php file, or something else along those lines.
