Re: Since my server upgraded my SMF forum becomes a blank screen

[goran]

Hello,
I have the same problem with blank page. My forum's folder has to be restored twice in the last month. Support sends me this error log:

The forum is not opening on our end either, and after review error log for it we have found following lines.

[02-Sep-2015 19:59:17 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: in /home/caravani/public_html/forum/index.php on line 51
[02-Sep-2015 19:59:17 UTC] PHP Warning: require_once(/QueryString.php) [<a href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/caravani/public_html/forum/index.php on line 51
[02-Sep-2015 19:59:17 UTC] PHP Fatal error: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required '/QueryString.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/caravani/public_html/forum/index.php on line 51

As other portions of the same account are working fine, as example http://caravaning.si/forum/license.txt, this seams to be a scripting issue and we would advise review your forum installation and updating it if needed.

i have split your message to a new topic as your issue is very different from the topic you posted in.

and is QueryString.php present in your Sources directory?

What is line 51 of your index.php?

[margarett]

It seems to be missing $sourcedir
-->  Failed opening required '/QueryString.php misses the path before the file

[Kindred]

that occurred to me as well (which is why I asked for the line of code)

Not sure how the REST of the forum would be working if Sourcedir was not properly defined, though...

[margarett]

Most likely empty Settings.php...

[Kindred]

oops... I misread the OP -- I thought he said that the rest of the forum was working -- but he was talking about the other non-forum pages on his server.

Yeah....   sounds like Settings.php is wrong or blanked.
