php pages blank

[websitesdivine]

Newbie here!

I have blank php pages after a successful install of a website and MySQL database. From what I can tell, it may be a setting in php.ini that will allow php to display in higher directories.

I can vi the php.ini file, but do not know what to edit or add.

It may also be a .htaccess fix. There is no .htaccess in the directories currently, so I would need to know what to enter. I am 2 days on this now and that is about all I could find as the possible reasons.

The site has php enabled in setup.

Thanks in advance for your help!

The default is NOT to display errors.

create an " .htaccess " file with the following line:

php_flag display_errors on

Put the .htaccess file in the directory where the php script is being run to display errors.

Alternately, look in the "error_log" for the errors.

Here is the error - any ideas?

yes, you have a open_basedir restriction that will not let your php script run as it is written.

The easiest fix is to create a "vhost.conf" file in the same folder as the "httpd.include" file for this domain.

In the vhost.conf file, enter the following:

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/bytheowner.net/httpdocs/>
php_admin_value open_basedir none
</Directory>

If you also want to turn off "safe mode" add this line:
php_admin_flag safe_mode off

Once you have created this file, run this command:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -u --vhost-name=bytheowner.net

Below is new error : And I have attached the Smarty.class.php script in question. I am going to forward this error to the Website Template developer as well and see what I find there as well.

I had to zip file - here it is

You cannot upload attachments to this forum.

Your best bet now is to go to the source code anyway. You seem to have the open_basedir problem fixed. Now it's a matter of their code.

Thanks that did it! :)

Really I want to thank the advanced users who take their time to help us newbies.
