Something has gone wrong with my 1.3.11 site. When I go to install a plugin, for instance in my case, the spamx plugin (reinstalling to fix an issue), I just get a blank page after clicking the "install" button. I know my webserver has register_globals on as my other gl sites on the box allow me to install plugins, etc.

When I check the error log, everything is showing success:

I've even tried uninstalling other plugins I have, and no get similar results where they won't install but the error log doesn't indicate anything. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Start here: Blank page

bye, Dirk

Thanks for the link. Been playing with it for a while and my php stuff has the globals on, the error reporting on, etc. but the blank page is stumping me. After every install atempt on any plugin I am trying, the last entry in the error.log is "Adding spamx.admin feature to admin group" and I realize from looking through the log (when my plugins installs were working) that there is suppossed to be more stuff happening after that. But it doesn't

A fun mystery.... I'll post back in this thread if I'm able to fix it without a total reinstall.

Ok, I think I have narrowed things down to my plugins not installing. By examining the errorlogs, and looking at the various install.php of the plugins, this is the code I believe where my plugin installs die:



But for whatever reason, I'm not getting an error reported in my logs/error.log but like I posted above, that is all I get. And, by looking at the order of the various tables that get updated during the course of a plugin install, I see from the time on the table, gl_access, that it isn't getting updated. So my question, is.... besides HELP! Is can someone tell me more about the gl_access table or offer any insight to what steps I can try next? I have already replaced all the /system files (except lib-custom.php).

Thanks for reading this. Appreciate it.

Have you checked the httpd error log? What shows up in there?

Have you tried installing a plugin other than Spam[-]X?

- Andy

I just noticed you're using the stats plugin. You might want to use GUS instead - it's made for 1.3.11.

- Andy

Thanks for the reply. This happens on three different plugins (Spamx, news, and stats). And all at the same point it appears, on the gl_access update. I didn't want to "test" any more of my installed plugins in fears of further messing up the site.

And does anything show up in the web server's error log?

- Andy

I wish! Been checking there constantly. I'm a shared server , and we have the cPanel backend. (love it). But no errors. I see where the page is accessed to install, the post/get etc. but no errors linked to install.php for any of the plugins. That is why I'm thinking something is wacked with my gl_access table?

Just wanted to follow up on this thread. The issue seems to be an issue with mysql_insert_id() working with my versions of PHP/MySQL. More info in this thread:
