Geeklog Forums

I just installed GL and am getting a blank success.php screen. I've checked the paths, and they are good. Also, when I go to index.php, the browser just goes into an endless loop of refreshing the page. If anyone has any ideas, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

What does your .../admin/install/check.php say?

This is what I get: (And I did set the permissions to 775 for the logs folder and files in it) --------------------------------------- LBLBLBLBLBLB Testing your Geeklog installation ...

I think you probably have a corrupted file. The characters "LB" (which represent non-printable line break) are not suppose to display like that. Try uploading a fresh copy of lib-common.php from the tarball since that one seems to be the most susceptible to corruption. If the LB's don't disappear after that, then try uploading a fresh copy of config.php too. Based on the error you got here, I recommend you check to make sure the log directory, error.log, and access.log exist. You may have lost them while unpacking the tarball. In which case, you'll need to create them and then set permissions either to 775 or 777. If you still experience an endless refresh loop after uploading fresh copies of the two files I pointed out then go inside index.php and comment out this section of code: if (isset ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST']) && !empty ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'])) { preg_match ("///([^/]*)/", $_CONF['site_url'], $server); if (strcasecmp ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'], $server[1]) != 0) { // this may be a case of a www. vs. non-www. URL ... if (!empty ($QUERY_STRING)) { $query = '?' . $QUERY_STRING; } else { $query = ''; } echo COM_refresh ($_CONF['site_url'] . '/index.php' . $query); exit; } }
