Version 2.7

DirkH · **Posted:** Sun Dec 03, 2006 8:17 pm

I've installed 2.7 from scratch, and I find this strange problem.

When I set the plugins folder to 'plugins', I can save, but on logout, I end up with a full white screen. The website is no longer functionnal, it's only a white page.

If I edit the 'config.php' file, via FTP, and I change the line

Code:

$cf[folder][plugins]="plugins"

to

Code:

$cf[folder][plugins]=""

everything is OK again...

I verified if all the right were OK, everything's 777. Then I tought it was because my plugins folder was empty, so I've installed a plugin, but that doesn't seem to change.

Who knows what's wrong here?

..and the problem is gone when I specify the full path for the plugins folder (in my case, "cms/plugins").

CAn anybody (Peter?) explain, please?

must be a problem with your server, i dont have this..

The default for $cf[folder][plugins] in config.php is that it is empty.

Code:

$cf['plugins']['folder']="";

If you set it to something different, this code will have influence on the run process:

Code:

Line 70:
$pth['folder']['plugins']=$pth['folder']['base'].$cf['plugins']['folder'].'/';

Line 107
// Plugin loading
if($cf['plugins']['folder']!="")@include($pth['folder']['plugins'].'/index.php');

I don't understand why you get the blank screen. Maybe it has to do with something different?

I retried, it's the same behaviour. I'l try to find out and report.

But I'm not much of a PHP programmer, and there's something I don't understand.

I read line 70 as:

Code:

pluginPath = baseFolder & pluginFolder & slash

I read line 107 as:

Code:

IF pluginFolder exists THEN include the plugins at pluginPath & slash & index.php

Isn't there a slash too much? (there's one at the end of line 70, and there's one at the start of "/index.php")

You are absolutely right - it must be fixed. But it shouldn't do much difference - which OS/Webserver are you running?

Server=
Red Hat Linux / Apache

Client=
Windows XP Servcie Pack 2 / Internet Explorer 6

Question: regarding the double slashes: does't it send me to the root directory. Which is not a problem if the files are in the root directory. But which causes a problem when they are not in the root...

As far as I know, double slashes are just threated as single slash.

You should not rely on that ...

I tried with a single or a double slash, no change...
-----
If I write 'plugins' I have the problem as described above.
If I write an emty field or any non-existing value (I tried "dummy"), then I dont get the error.

-----
On my hosting server where I have the problem, I have different directories available.

One of them is the "httpdocs" , that's where http://www.mydomain.com will look for the index.html file.

Another directory is "httpsdocs", that's where https://www.mydomain.com will look for the index.html file.

Thus:

Code:

xxxxx
  :
  +--httpdocs
  :       :
  :      +-index.html (for http)
  :
  +--httpsdocs
  :      :
  :      +-index.html (for https)
  :
  +--statistics
  :
etc

-----
I've copied everything to another hosting provider, and there it works! On that server, there's only a folder called "www.mydomain.com" in which the index.html must reside...

-----
So it must have to do with the server, but how?
Does anybody have a clue?
Are there 'paths' to setup in the php environment or so?

Apparently the PHP script hangs up, so can I do some "echo blabla" to find out 'where' the loader-script is searching? This might give the PHP experts amongst you a clue?
Thx.

It looks like someone has a similar problem... (as far as my Deutsch goes)

Well after some (a lot of) testing:

when I replace the latest pluginloader (from djot's) by an older version (svarrer's) then the problem is gone, everything is working fine then.

So I guess that the problem is not at my server but in the pluginloader code that comes with the latest CMSimple package...

Are you sure? I use the settings from CMSimple. I can't find any double slahes in the Plugin Loader code.
