Mantis creates only blank pages after install

MezzoHitz · Post by **MezzoHitz** » 14 Mar 2005, 22:04

Hi,
I have just downloaded and configured (DB, eMail, etc) Mantis (ver. 0.19.2) for my purposes, it runs great on my win2k system and also on my debian at home.

But when I upload it (via FTP) to my hoster, I get only blank pages, there is no output to the Browser!

Can somebody give me an hint where I can start my search???

On my Debian and also on the Linux-System of my hoster runs PHP 5.0.3 on an Apache 2.0.53 with MySQL 4.0.23.

Other PHP-Files (e.g. phpinfo()) in the same dir produces the normal output!

thanks for any help!

Kai

There are still some issues using PHP 5 with Mantis. These have been worked out in the next release. You may want to look at #4995 for one patch.

You probably have the problem that I fixed in #5057.

Your are right, it looks very much like the Bug #5057 ... I tried to have a look in the CVS but can't connect! Some other CVS-Repositorys at cvs.sourceforge.net let me connect!

Also the Nighly tarball is't available, at this time!

I will try it again tomorrow...

thanks for your response!

Hi,
now I have an runnig "version" :)

After checking out the most current Version of mantis out of the CVS, adding a new table and adding another Field to an existing table it runs - so far!

The new Table:

Code: Select all

CREATE TABLE `mantis_project_hierarchy_table` (
  `id` int(7) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  `enabled` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
  `child_id` int(7) NOT NULL default '0',
  `parent_id` int(7) NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
)

... the columtypes have no warranty for correctness!

And I added the field "sticky" to the table "mantis_bug_table" ... but I'm not sure about the Datatype, I chose tinyint, but this could be wrong!

greetings

Kai

PS: this workarround is OK for me, but I recommend to wait for an stable relase!

You shouldn't need to create these fields/tables manually. When you install a CVS version of Mantis, you need to run the upgrade script from the admin folder. This is even if you just created the database from db_general.sql. This is because we only update db_generate.sql before a formal release.
