Plugin admin page not shown

Post by Darius » Sun Apr 27, 2014 8:10 am

Hi
I started with CMSimple_XH just after new year, so I'm new to this forum.

I installed CMSimple_XH Version 1.59 on a web page from green.ch, with a Windows Server installation.
It worked fine, and I had no issues (I thought).
Next to the standard installation I installed also FotoGalerie_XH V6.9.
Logged in and went to Plugins, I could see the admin configuration menu from FotoGalerie.

Now I installed also Advancedform_XH-1.0rc5
I see it under Plugins, but the page is empty, so can't configure it.
Because of the installation below I noted that also on an other plugin (Filebrowser) the admin page is empty.
If I check with info, I have two warnings, that directories are writeable, rest is ok. PHP Version used: 5.2.17
Do you know how I can fix it?

As I have a second web page on one.com.
As it didn't run on the page above, I installed CMSsimple also therem version 1.5.9 as well as 1.6.
There I see also the admin page from the plugin Filebrowser.
If I install advanceform and login to CMSimple, the page crashes and I get the information:"The website cannot display the page".
Any idea what is wrong.


If I check with info (advancedform not installed) I get all ok, PHP version 5.3.28

Thanks in advance for any help
Dari

Hi Dari,

an empty page (i.e. a completely blank browser window) usually is caused by a fatal PHP error. To find out what exactly is causing this, you should turn on debug mode, and then access the relevant plugin administration again. Instead of a blank window, an error message should be displayed, which should help us to solve the issue.

Hi Christoph
thanks for your quick reply.

I added the file to both web pages.
On the first one, I get:
•WARNING: Invalid error type specified
\clufs01\webst016534\wwwroot\cmstest\cmsimple\cms.php:1180
To clarify here:
The web page is still available, I can choose Edit, Pages etc.
but within Plugins, on the advancedform, I do not get any information, it is blank.

On the second one:
I see no error and still an empty screen with:
The website cannot display the page
In the Tap it is written: HTTP 500 Internal server error
after renaming ../plugins/Advancedform/admin.js and admin.php to admin.js.SAVE and admin.php.SAVE
the page works again.

regards Dari

That might be a minor issue (I'll have to investigate, though). Anyway, you can get rid of it by removing the call to the function legallink() from your template (there is no requirement to show this link for CMSimple_XH).

Ah, okay. Then there is no fatal PHP error. However, I can only guess what's causing the problem: do you have register_globals On (see Settings -> Info -> PHP-Info)?

If you rename Advancedform's admin.php, it will not be loaded (and neither it will displayed in the plugin menu). Apparently, there's an error in the file; maybe it has been corrupted during the FTP upload. Please try again, and check whether your FTP client reports any errors.

Hi Christoph
the phpinfo I can't check, it is disabled to get it from the provider. :(

regarding the second page, I don't think it is a corrupt file.
I loaded it on 2 CMSimple instances and at least on one, I loaded it multiple times, always the same error.
The first instance has the same files uploaded from my computer.

If you like, I can send you the URL's and login by PM.
It are only test pages, so I don't care.

regards David

The issue has been solved: it was caused by Advancedform being installed in a folder with a capitalized name ("Advancedform").

Hi Christoph
I would like to thank you also here.
I never got an issue solved so quick and strait forward.
And sorry to bother you with this beginner error.
Dari
