my problem is, after installing the premod, my search.php page is now BLANK (as in white page)

please anyone, try to take a look:

*NOTE: i currently DISABLED the search feature to avoid further problems.

thanks for any help!!

anyone?

Should be nothing more than a typo introduced when installing the mod.

Please double check search.php.

As well, you can activate the phpBB debug in config.php to see if no useful error message won't show up instead of a blank page.

i already checked it 3 times before posting here...
i even downloaded and uploaded a fresh copy of search.php (from premod) 3 times...

and when i activated the debug mode, nothing still happens--it's still blank

Did you purge the cache? Maybe there's a parse error. Try testing it under XAMPP or equivalent. Some ISPs have php configured to suppress the display of any errors, resulting in a "blank" page.

hmm...
this is my case:
1.) i was using phpbb3 before i used premod.
2.) i removed my old forum before i installed the premod, but i didn't uploaded the "install" directory (as i've read through this forum), and i kept my old config.php file.
3.) after intalling, i encountered an error stating:

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /home/www/root/includes/functions.php on line 3659

and i read this thread:
http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/phpbb3- ... t2164.html

so i followed it and changed

Code: Select all

        return $this->word_limit( utf8_htmlspecialchars( htmlspecialchars_decode( preg_replace($RegEx, $replace, $text ) ) ) );

to

Code: Select all

         $text = htmlspecialchars_decode( preg_replace($RegEx, $replace, $text ));
         utf8_htmlspecialchars( $text );
         return $this->word_limit( $text);

is there something on these steps that made my search.php blank?
or maybe there's an SQL to the "install" directory that is needed?

Without more information, I can only guess. Installing locally on XAMPP or equivalent will give you full control over the php configuration, including error display. As I said before, it appears your ISP has errors suppressed (mine has the same settings), so it could be a typo or who knows what...

You could try adding this to your config.php:

Code: Select all

@define('DEBUG', true);
@define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);

That may spit out a clue, although my #1 recommendation above stands.

I did it...

Code: Select all

@define('DEBUG', true);
@define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);

But i cant do anything... What can i do after this code?

What will i do after this step? I did it...

Code: Select all

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
// @define('DEBUG', true);
// @define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);
@define('DEBUG', true);
@define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);
?>

Since no error shows up, it could be a language file issue, but nothing is for sure.

What did you last do before it started to be like this ?

I have chanced my server... That's why my site was close three days...

Before this.. It was working...

Everything is working without search.php...

Try to compare you search.php file with one from the phpBB package to see if you find anything obvious.

I have chanced it with phpBB 3.0.1 and phpBB 3.0.2 search.php files...

But i didnt work again...
