    • Blank tiki-install.php page on new install

    Posted by JamesMelhuish posts: 14

    I am a new user of tiki (hope to be...) but my install is failing. I have hosting with a Linux Redhat 7.1 virtual private server webhost. Running MySQL 4.0.17 , PHP 4.3.4 , Apache 1.3.26 , PHP is running under Apache fine, and MySQL also is working. I set apache as owner and group for all tiki files; My permissions are all set to 755 (I think, specifically -rwxrwsr-x for most files, and 777 for templates_c).

    BUT, I get the "blank page" when I try to execute the tiki-install.php script.

    Using echo commands e.g. echo "test1, "; I tracked down two points of failure:

    $smarty->load_filter('output', 'trimwhitespace');

    $smarty->display("tiki.tpl");

    The echo statements are not executed after these smarty commands, unless the commands are commented out.

    Any ideas anyone? thanks.

    Ok, if apache is the owner and group, then you dont need the 775 or 777, rwxr-x- would do for all files, except those configured by ./setup.sh which could need to be rwxrwx-

    blank page can be a couple of things:

    PHP Memory Limit

    Should I change all the tiki files to rwxr-x--- ?? I am still learning Unix/Linux and getting to grips with permissions.

    I changed the limit from 8M to 16M and magically everything worked!! Thanks.

    If apache is the owner and group, you could do. and probably not run into any problems.

    Its worth a shot for a little more security, you can always chmod back later.
