Architecture / Installation

If you changed a TPL page, verify that you have your a matched with every {/tr}. Mismatched tags will cause the page to not display.

HTH,

I wonder if the problem is caused by something wrong with page layout, either a template or stylesheet problem. Error pages are showing up OK. I tried to access tiki-contact.php and got the "feature disabled" message. But that page is broken in a familiar way. I think when the dogtwist theme was made, error.tpl wasn't styled to match tiki.tpl.

I also tried accessing a nonexistent page to generate the 404 error, and this time the theme used was tikineat.css, which I believe is what Tiki defaults to when the admin and user choices can't be used for some reason. Anyway, looking at the source of the first error page, I see bits of code from the Zuka theme as well as parts of Twist, which is fine if it works OK, but possibly something is preventing normal pages from displaying. I tried seeing pages with a different theme, using the switch-theme URL, but again nothing displayed, so my guess about the cause could be off-base. I would try switching the site to a standard Tiki theme first, though, to eliminate the possibility of the problem being custom-theme-related. If you can't access your admin pages, you'll have to use phpMyAdmin to edit your Tiki database, to change the theme choice in the tiki_preferences table.

Of course the problem could be something else entirely. Usually pages not displaying at all indicates PHP memory being too low. What was it changed to?

Hi
I changed the theme back to tikineat.css.
The memory was set to 16 but I am getting it changed to 32
Some pages are still blank though.
I didnt change any tpl / php or anything really as I have only just been trialling it.

I can get the tiki-phpinfo.php to work and I can now see the tiki-admin.php but nothing else.

Thanks again
Viv

Hi Vivienne,

I don't know if you've managed to fix this already, but I had a similar problem that turned out to be a permissions issue on the templates_c folder. Not sure if this will be a problem on a windows box, but I thought I'd mention it...

Related post?

Hi

I checked and I now have 32 memory. The templates_C folder has read and write permissions. I wonder if there is an issue with the different themes - not sure how to put it all back as it was! If anyone can help or if anyone offers paid tiki wiki tweaking services please let me know on do...@do....

I can now see the tikiadmin page but only that.
thanks so much
vivienne

Thanks Gary - that really helped!

Do you have direct access to the database? You can edit the database tables directly, to reset your Tiki.

> I wonder if anyone could help me. I had my host install tiki wiki on a windows and it was all working like a dream. Then suddenly it stopped and displays blank pages. If I go to the tiki-admin.php page it displays very badly - I log in but thats it its back to blank pages. I asked my host to change the memory allocation and I have checked file permissions. They suggest I reinstall which seems a bit excessive considering it was working fine. They are very helpful though and would like to offer a standard install service for tikiwiki and so will help me if htey can but they cant solve it.
