blank page

[etienne]

hi everybody,

i searched this forum a few week ago about my blank page problem.
i found some answers, telling that blank pages accure, when there
is a problem with the databaseconnection. but i wasn't able to fix
the problem.

i'm working with windows 2000 server. php is installed and runs on
my iis webserver. the mysql database server runs on a remote machine.
as mailserver i use hMailServer. i tested sending and receving mails with
thunderbird and everything worked.

i did what's written here:
http://trac.roundcube.net/trac.cgi/wiki/Howto_Install

My Connectionstring:
mysql://myuser:[email protected]/dbRoundcube

i tried my root account, but i didn't work.

can anybody help?

thanks, etienne

Have you checked your webserver's error log to see if you're getting any error output?

[etienne]

there are no error outputs and no error log in mysql database.
is it possible to turn on logging in php?

my mailserver works. you can write mails to [email protected] and you
can download mails (password: test).

is there an example configuration for roundcube with mysql and mailserver
on a remote server?

are there known problems with mysql 4.1 should i upgrade to 5.0? problems
with php 4?

In the config you can set the debug level to 8

Had the same problem.

I had:

mysql://myuser:[email protected]/dbRoundcube

Changed it to:
mysql://myuser:mypassword@localhost/dbRoundcube

I thought it should be able to read 127.0.0.1 aswell but seems like it won't read ipadresses somehow.

[etienne]

thanks for your replies.

i tried to turn debug level to 8 but i wasn't able to do so. how do i do
that? in php.ini?

i tried to install roundcube on my database server. i installed iis and
php and changed the connection to
mysql://user:pass@localhost/dbRoundcube'
it didn't work. it seems i do not have a problem with database connection.

then i tried a reinstallation.
i changed:
$INSTALL_PATH = dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);

to

switch (php_sapi_name()){

case "apache":

$INSTALL_PATH = dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);

break;

case "cgi":

case "cgi-fcgi":

$INSTALL_PATH = dirname($_SERVER

["PATH_TRANSLATED"]);

break;

}

i found this code in an other post in roundcubeforum, which
doesn't exist anymore. the problem is php on windows doesn't
seem to support this 'SCRIPT_FILENAME' var. But 'PATH_TRANSLATED' isn't
supported either.

In the main.inc.php there is a value.

I had a remote installation and it did not like my ip either

I ended up doing on the actual server and using localhost and it worked

Have people used it with the an IP?

[flosoft]

No. But many MySQL Servers only accept local connections!

[xoqez]

I have checked and my mysql is only local connections. answered my question.

Closing and Moving to resolved.
