Posted by Damian Parker 27 Jan 2004 10:18 GMT-0000 posts: 2881 Hi Harlequin, As Chealer says check your memory limit. Also create a phpinfo.php file containing the phpinfo function and browse to it, just to make sure that the PHP is running good. Also this can occur if you have some kind of php cache installed. What version of Tiki are you installing? Damian

I have just d/l your latest ver 1.7.5 and I still get a blank page. I have upped the memory limit to 16M from 8M as well I have recently had a few other cms installed and know my apache, php, mysql install is good. Tho I have removed them at this point. as for php cache, unless its on or installed by default I have none. any help appreciated.

I put a tmp folder on c: root and the install script worked. The install seemed to go well, But now im at the home page and when I use admin/admin to login it says "Invalid username or password" ? any ideas? Thanks for your time and help.

Ok, this last step Im sure was fixed in 1.7.5, move the tiki installation into a subfolder called tiki or something. so that you have to access it by http://localhost/tiki I'm sure that was fixed, marcuis did it in the 1.8 release. I'll have to double check 😉

I'll have to double check 😉 erm.. your saying cut everything in my htdocs folder, make a folder called 'tiki' and then dump everything into that? so my members have to type http://(my addy)/tiki to access my site? I dont know if I like that... But im still not sure what the fix is to not being able to login? heh.. sorry for sounding ignorant. I am used to myphpnuke and xoops and they were less trouble for me.

Good luck with your project, but I need something thats a bit easier then this to install. Thanks for all your time once again.

UPDATE: I created a database on mysql called 'grimoire' and pointed the setup script to use it. It seems it was replaced by one called tiki, which is fine dont really care what its called as long as it works. but when I veiw the tables in it, its blank. Is this how its supposed to be?

Make sure you're using the correct database name, user and password of course 😀. Keep us posted on how things are going...

Make sure you're using the correct database name, user and password of course 😀. Keep us posted on how things are going... that was posted several tries ago, but thanks for the input none the less. Yes, I was selecting the database I created in mysql called 'grimoire' but to no avail. The last few tries the database was full of tables from what I recall. I retried several times with the install patch, still nothing. I have decided to go poke around and look at some other cms's, tho I probably will end back with xoops. thanks again for your reply.
