Manager is fine - Site is blank

I have no problem doing a clean install of 1.0.2 - no demo site installed

Manager loads fine.

I get a blank page when viewing the default home page. No code or anything in the page.

Host Server (CoreComm) Info:

PHP 5.3.1
MySQL 4.1.22-standard


Before I get the usual responses...I have already done the following: a re-upload of site files and tried another install (4 all together at this point), trashed the dbase and created a new one, double checked permissions on dbase, double checked permission on config file and assets directories.


Please help!

No offense meant, but did you actually create a home page (and a template for it)? If you didn’t install the demo site, there’s no site there to find in the front end.

don’t you have some blank index.html in home folder?) try to put this to .htacces DirectoryIndex index.php

BobRay - No offense taken. I have installed MODx a dozen times without incident. This issue is throwing me.

Yes, there is the default ’MODx CMS Install Success’ page here:

http://www.charcoalgrill.com/index.php?id=1

As you can see the page is blank = meaning no content loaded, no error messages.


variable - I added the line to the .htaccess which is the same result. I have now removed the line, because the site is live.



Additional Info: I am installing MODx beside the currently live HTML site.
Installed Server tools: cPanel and phpmyadmin

Have you looked at the index.php file in the MODx root to make sure it’s the MODx file?

What do the server error logs say? How about the access logs?

PHP will not always throw errors to the browser; but will usually log them in a server error file. Maybe a PHP extension is missing, or incompatible.

It sounds like you covered all your bases. Maybe there’s something wrong with the LAMP setup.

maybe error showing is off in php.ini? (try switching it on in ht.access by adding: php_flag display_errors on )
did you try to clear the cache?
try using blank as a template and just add a little content to see if it display’s the text.

BobRay - Thanks. I must have overlooked the obvious. Not sure how that happened. I downloaded MODx, unpacked it, and uploaded the file just yesterday. How the index didn’t get overwritten, I have no idea.

The page now loads, but the backslashes aren’t be replaced correctly = no stylesheet, etc.


Thanks for everyone’s posts!

I had this happen to a couple of my site templates as well, I just had to remove and add back in the template code. During my trial and error even just removing the extra slashes and saving again they’d come back, so I had completely deleted the problem template file and re-created it with the valid template code (no extra slashes) and everything work fine.

good luck

Possibly the index file was read-only. Another possibility, though, is that your FTP program doesn’t overwrite existing files. If so, it will be a problem with upgrading MODx and if there were any other name collisions, you don’t have the modx version of the file.

On the slashes, make sure magic_quotes_gpc is turned off. http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php?topic=41945.0
