View Full Version : Invision Problem

I've been playing around with setting up Invision on my webserver and it's worked perfectly fine so far, with one exception. Whenever I go to a page that has 'act=UserCP' or 'showuser' in the url, I get a blank page. No problems with anything else that I've noticed (yet), just those two. Googling found recommendations that I turn 'Print HTTP headers' off, 'DISABLE GZIP encoding' on, and 'Type of auto-redirect' to 'Refresh (Windows Savvy)', but none had any effect.
Just for the record, here's what happens:

GET /forum/index.php?act=UserCP&CODE=00 HTTP/1.1
...

HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2004 16:05:39 GMT
Server: Apache
Set-Cookie: session_id=[...]
Content-Length: 0
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
X-Pad: avoid browser bug


This is all on my server running Apache 2.0.48, php 5.0 RC1, mysql 4.0.18, and invision 1.3 final.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try reuploading the "./functions/" directory...

:huh:
I don't have a 'functions' directory...

But I did try restoring the 'sources' directory, which has several files labeled 'functions', but there was no change.

I've officially lost my mind. :helpsmile:

Hmm.. Try reuploading the "/Skin" directory, maybe a skin is corrupt.. :unsure:

Nope, no change.

I did just now try a clean install with files straight from the zip file and an empty database, and I still get the exact same behavior. It must be something else then.

The thing is, it never fully worked in the first place. And it uses mysql perfectly fine, I don't think that was ever an issue.

I'm thinking it must be something like apache or php like Nightstalker said. I'll try php 4 & apache 1.3, along with some more Googling for now.

Did a little debugging, and it seems that the 'require' command to call the 'usercp.php' module is getting executed, but nothing in the file is actually executed, not even the first line. Strange.

Anyways, I'll be trying other things.

Aha! Found the answer.
This (http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=118217&st=0&p=842543&#entry842543) explains the problem. It's just that Invision 1.3 doesn't work fully with php5. Unfortunately, Invision 2.0, which does support php5, won't install. I guess I'll have to be happy with something less that the absolute latest version of everything. Thanks for the advice, all. :D
