Blank page on Install
  • FearganFeargan January 2011

    So, I've retried and re-downloaded the installation numerous times and I keep getting a blank page.
    The tmp directory permissions are 777, the config.ini has the correct info,
    and if I insert " echo "Print this"; " into index.php, the browser does indeed display Print this.
    I'm using an up to date Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop LAMP server installation, Webmin to administrate.
    PHP Version 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.1, Apache Version Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu)

    I'm at a loss. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Okay, found the problem digging through these forums.
    Problem was the database.params.password line in config.ini
    Changing the password to not include any meta-characters (in this case "&&") solved my issue.

    Cheers

    Glad to know this helped someone.
    Also, a note on password strength: http://xkcd.com/936/
    Just for fun =)

    I can't tell you how many failed installs I've had of SI because of this. This sounds like a serious bug that needs to be addressed. I ALWAYS use non-alphanumeric characters in my admin passwords. The author should at least note this in the installation procedure, if nothing else. Many thanks Feargan for discovering this annoying little anomaly!
