Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

hi,

i tried to install mantis 1.0.1 and get a blank page on the install.php page.
anyone who can help me?
iam using red hat linux with apache2.0 and php4.4.2

It sounds like your PHP is not being rendered.

Try this:

Create a file called test.php and toss it into your Apache root. Within this file, copy and paste the following code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

And then view that page in your web browser. Does the PHPInfo screen appear?

If not, you have a PHP/Apache installation issue (Did you remember to enable PHP in your httpd.conf file??)

If it does, did you edit any of the Mantis php files?

i already testet phpinfo() and it works and i did not edit any files from mantis.
i downloaded older versions of mantis and its the same things...stange

thanks anyway

I am having the exact same problem. I am running the following:

mysql-5.0.18-2.1
httpd-2.2.0-5.1.2(apache)
mantis-1.0.1
RedHat FC5

all of the above are as they came from the RedHat install. I also tried the phpinfo() test and it works, I wrote a php script that connects the the mysql db, and tried older versions of mantis with no luck, all act the same. I have tried:

$g_db_type = "mysqli";
and
$g_db_type = "mysql";

I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the db. On an older version of all of the above I got this working without issue, but on our new machines we are wanting to have the newer stuff. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I got exactly the same problem on my RHEL4. Nothing to do.
Other websites (like Webmin, PhpMyAdmin, PhpBB) run correctly on this computer. But Mantis only produces a blank page at install.

The same archive runs well under Windows with EasyPhp....

I've got the same problem.

I traced the problem down to line 14 of news_api.php:
Execution stops here. I've got no idea why...

Mantis 1.0.2, PHP 5.0.4, Apache 1.3.33.

This problem is typically called by spaces outside the <?php ?> block in config_inc.php or one of the custom_*.php files. The fix is to remove such spaces.

Given that this is found to be a common problem, I've implemented the fix below which prompts an error message when this occurs.

Thanks!

...but it doesn't work for me, unfortunately. It seems execution doesn't even get to the point where the patch is applied. I manually checked for blanks in given files, and none are there, as far as I can tell.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance... here's really hoping for a fix.

to further elaborate on this. (Disclaimer: I'm not a php programmer at all, so it might be complete nonsense. )

Mantis now crashes (version 1.0.3) without PHP error at the line:
of function config_get() in config_api.php. It just halts there. This happens when news_api.php tries to get the core_path variable. FWIW:

t_match_pattern = /_table$|cookie|^db_|hostname|database_name|_path$|use_iis|language|use_javascript|display_errors|stop_on_errors|login_method|_file$|anonymous|content_expire|html_valid_tags|custom_headers/
p_option = core_path

Running on FreeBSD BTW

cheers

Just found the solution (for me) :

in /etc/php.inc, set the memory_limit to 32M.

Rock'n roll !!

I get the blank page.
I am using php 4.3.9
I just tried the fix to /etc/php.ini with 32M and it owrked after I restarted apache. Thanks for the fix!!!!
