Blank Screen Problem
« on: January 07, 2007, 05:47:57 AM »

Has anyone managed to solve the blank screen problem after installing the bridge?
I really want to install this component into my clients website, but as soon as the index.php file is patched the website won't load.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Has anyone managed to solve the blank screen problem after installing the bridge?

I have also that Problem...

When I registry me in Joomla, than it is all Great...

but when I registry me at first in the SMF, and then I close my browser and than I turn it on and load the Joomla-side, and logged me in with the Data from SMF in Joomla, than I have a blank screen...

I think, the index.php is not realy patched... there is somewhere an ERROR... please check it up...

Thanks a lot...

MDMAN

EDIT:

@wardesign and all the Rest:

I think I have find the Problem...

When the Forum has an User, and the Joomla not, for example, "Test", and you will log in with "Test" in Joomla, and Joomla doesn't know, that TEST is exist, than you become an Blank Screen...

The Problem is coming, when you install the Forum and use another Name for the Administrator than "admin"... Is it absolutely recommend that you using the Adminsitrator-Name "admin" ... not your Nickname or so... And then, when the Forum is installed you can use another Name like your Nick, and turn it into the Admin-UserGroup so that you have two or more admins in there... BUT THE NICK "admin" MUST BE IN THE GROUP!! Because Joomla is using the adminaccount with the Nick "admin" and when the Name is not in SMF, you have a Problem...

Also... you must input at First the admin in the Forum... than you registry your Nick in Joomla and than turn your Nick in the SMF into the adminUserGroup.

Bevor you registry, you must delete your Nick in the Forum!

Okay... thats all... I hope...

Okay... When you are Using the new index.php than you have this Problem...

Look in the guide, and then follow the instructions...

I have at first delete the original index.php and then I have put the index.php from here to my server and then i have also a blank screen...

Than I delete all, installed the joomla and SMF and then I have step by step made, what the guide said... and now, its running...

I have patched the index.php with the Components-congfig Menü in Joomla Backend... I haven't delete or patched the index.php by copy another...

Here the Guide...
http://www.joomlahacks.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,41/func,fileinfo/id,448/

Load it and make the install exactly so and then the Server will run... and Joomla and SMF also...

I just installed a completely fresh SMF using admin as the username
and I'm still getting a blank screen.
Everything is fine in the front end and the backend, but as soon as I press click to patch the index.php file
That is when the site fails to load!!
Thanks for your help
Any more ideas?
regards

Oh... there can be a lots of more Problems...

First, you must Install the Forum in an extra directroy for example /forum

than you must install the database-entrys in the same database. like joomla... BUT DO NOT EDIT THE PREFIX...

Bevor you are patching the index.php from the SMF and the Joomla, please test the Forum and the joomla...

THEN bevor you patching, change the settings in the SMF, for example, the database connection must switch to allways... For more Infos, look in the Guide and do the install like the steps in the guide... You must only have one Error in the Install, and the Blank Screen is looking at you...

When you have more Problems, I can help you by the install... Or I can install all...

You can contact me by email...

Okay...Huh

Thanks for the help mate,

So the website is OK
http://www.didcottownfc.com
the Forum is OK
http://www.didcottownfc.com/Forum/index.php

the component JSMF is installed OK

But when I click to patch the index.php file the website will not load!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it possible to install this bridge with

PHP magic_quotes_gpc setting is `OFF`

because I'm on shared hosting with Pipex WebFusion
and I am unable to turn them on

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Philip

im having the EXACT same problem
the problem occurs once i click the patch button
my site: www.persianhiphop.com
funny thing is if i access my site using this link http://persianhiphop.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=57 it works fine, and i can access everything on the site EXCEPT content items like  news etc... so if i click on a published article i get a blank page and if i click home i get a blank page too, im guessing thats because i have articles published on the front page? hmm

any ideas any1?

just for ur info here is a lil more information, this might not even have anything to do with this error but i thought u might wanna know, maybe this could be causing it?:

magic_quotes_gpc On 
magic_quotes_runtime Off
magic_quotes_sybase Off
Session Directory /var/lib/php/session/ Unwriteable

Hi
Given up trying to install this bridge,
A Dutch guy who tried to help me and we discovered that I was unable to turn magic Quotes ON and probably that was the reason that the site would'nt load.
Now I'm trying to load the official smf_1-1_joomla_1-1-6_bridge
I've actually got the bridge author Orstio 'on the case' so I'll tell you what later.
Lets hope it gets sorted. Undecided

blank screens can be resolved by turning joomla error reporting to maximum and then if you do not see any error messages on the blank screen, check you php error log.  Chances are it is a php fatal error based on either configuration or the php process exceeding the memory_limit.  Both of which are easily fixable.  And both of which are documented in the JSMF user guide.
