Title: White Screen of Death
Post by: Felikx on July 23, 2015, 09:29:31 AM
Hello everyone, I've been having some problems lately with my SMF, everytime i load any page (index, login, register, etc..) i get a white page, sometimes the page loads but most of the time it doesn't.
I noticed when i am logged in this never happends.

What i have tried so far:
- Reinstalling
- Fresh Database
- I have tried version SMF 2.0.10 and SMF 2.1, both return the random white pages
- Edited Suhosin

Now what really i think is weird is that no errors get logged in the error file, i do see my requests appearing in the request log.
here is the site: forum.darkscar.net
PHP Version: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.19

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello and welcome to sm.org ;)

We have seen similar reports. Since you reinstalled already (including 2.1) and the behavior was the same, I would suggest you to try to check the "Disable hostname lookups" in ACP --> Server Settings

Yeah it clashes with shell_exec in some setups ;) (in your case most likely caused by Suhosin)
