blank page after tiki-install.php

posts: 1

I got blank page after I input database info.
OS: REDHAT 5 I386
PHP: 5.1.6
DATABASE:POSTRESQL 8.1.4
TIKI: 1.9.8

I can see the first web page to input database info, after that, always blank page and local.php can't be created automatically. check the httpd log, found this:

PHP Warning: asort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /var/www/tiki/templates_c/en
%%F7
F7F^F7F34188%%header.tpl.php on line 139, referer: http://172.20.214.4/tiki/


I don't know what the error. Any help will be appreciated.

Can you try with Mysql?

Let's rule out that it's an issue with Postgresql

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm getting that message & those symptoms (enter credentials & DB name at tiki-install.php, get blank page) with MySQL. My stats are:

OS: CentOS 5 x86_64
DB: MySQL 5.0.22
PHP: 5.1.6
TIKI: 1.9.8.1

The line number in my case is 158 not 139, but otherwise identical.

I came to the forum via the install troubleshooting FAQ which mentioned that I should have PEAR installed. I did that earlier today while installing something else.

Just tried 1.9.7 in the same environment, got the same message (but line 139).

Being as it's just a warning the asort message might be a dead herring. No other diags though, even with PHP logging turned up to 11.

The phpinfo config cell reads: "'./configure' 'build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' 'host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' 'target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' 'program-prefix=' 'prefix=/usr' 'exec-prefix=/usr' 'bindir=/usr/bin' 'sbindir=/usr/sbin' 'sysconfdir=/etc' 'datadir=/usr/share' 'includedir=/usr/include' 'libdir=/usr/lib64' 'libexecdir=/usr/libexec' 'localstatedir=/var' 'sharedstatedir=/usr/com' 'mandir=/usr/share/man' 'infodir=/usr/share/info' 'cache-file=../config.cache' 'with-libdir=lib64' 'with-config-file-path=/etc' 'with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d' 'disable-debug' 'with-pic' 'disable-rpath' 'without-pear' 'with-bz2' 'with-curl' 'with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' 'with-freetype-dir=/usr' 'with-png-dir=/usr' 'enable-gd-native-ttf' 'without-gdbm' 'with-gettext' 'with-gmp' 'with-iconv' 'with-jpeg-dir=/usr' 'with-openssl' 'with-png' 'with-pspell' 'with-expat-dir=/usr' 'with-pcre-regex=/usr' 'with-zlib' 'with-layout=GNU' 'enable-exif' 'enable-ftp' 'enable-magic-quotes' 'enable-sockets' 'enable-sysvsem' 'enable-sysvshm' 'enable-sysvmsg' 'enable-track-vars' 'enable-trans-sid' 'enable-yp' 'enable-wddx' 'with-kerberos' 'enable-ucd-snmp-hack' 'with-unixODBC=shared,/usr' 'enable-memory-limit' 'enable-shmop' 'enable-calendar' 'enable-dbx' 'enable-dio' 'with-mime-magic=/etc/httpd/conf/magic' 'without-sqlite' 'with-libxml-dir=/usr' 'with-xml' 'with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs' 'without-mysql' 'without-gd' 'without-odbc' 'disable-dom' 'disable-dba' 'without-unixODBC' 'disable-pdo' 'disable-xmlreader' 'disable-xmlwriter'"

NB without-mysql and without-pear up there. Are those deal breakers?

Here's what worked for me. Remember, I have:
OS: CentOS 5 x86_64 (=~ RHEL 5)
DB: MySQL 5.0.22
PHP: 5.1.6
TIKI: 1.9.8.1

1 - I edited my php.ini to increase the memory limit to 32M (it was 16M).
2 - I installed eaccelerator, building it from source downloaded at: http://eaccelerator.net/
(I downloaded 0.9.5.2 and followed the 'install from source' link).
3 - during the above I had to install the php-devel package to get 'phpize'
4 - I installed php-mysql — this is when it all started working so it may be the only necessary step so I suggest doing it first.

I was surprised at having to do step 4. I can only assume that the CentOS guys are psychos, installing PHP and MySQL OOTB but not php-mysql.

I don't care though, I'm all Tiki'ed up.

Hasta,
OlRedEyes

Where might a newbie with this problem find "php-mysql"? I am searching to no avail!
Many thanks!

Same issue here on a fresh Gentoo build using PHP5, Apache2, and MySQL 14.12 Distrib 5.0.44.

Firefox gives no indication of a problem, IE6 returns:

HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer

Does this give any helpful information?

Hello,

I have this blank page problem, too.

OS: MS Windows Server 2003 R2, SP 2
PHP: 5.2.5 (max_execution_time = 300 / max_input_time = 60 / memory_limit = 128M)
DATABASE:POSTGRESQL 8.1.4
TIKI: 1.9.10.1.
WEBSERVER: Apache 2.0.58

After reading this thread I activated php_mysql. I didn't install eAccelerator (do I need to?). As far as php-devel is concerned I couldn't find out what's the counterpart for windows might be.

I found the following error in Apache2/logs/error.log:

Tue Mar 11 16:39:01 2008 error client 127.0.0.1 PHP Warning: asort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in C:\\web\\Apache Group\\Apache2\\htdocssecure\\tiki\\templates_c\\de
%%F7
F7F^F7F34188%%header.tpl.php on line 160

Any ideas?

Thanks! Sitko

Sorry everybody, it turned out I didn't enable postgresql in php (that means un-commenting "extension=php_pgsql.dll" in php.ini for windows). For some reasons I enabled mysql, but not postgresql. Now it works.

Similar issue here. When the database connection screen shows up I see this at the bottom:

PHP Warning: asort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Tiki\tikiwiki-1.9.11\templates_c\en
%%F7
F7F^F7F34188%%header.tpl.php on line 160


When I enter the database info I get a 500 internal server error back after submitting

windows 2003 server w/IIS
PHP 5.2.6
Tiki 1.9.11
MySql 5.0

Thanks for any help on debugging.

Dave

I had this problem, but I fixed it.

OS: Vista (cry for me)
DB: MySQL 5.0.22
PHP: 5.1.6
TIKI: 1.9.8.1
server: Apache 2.2.8

My problem was that I would get a blank page after running tiki-install.php.
In my apache error log, I had
PHP Warning: asort() expects parameter 1 to be array

To solve it,
I uncommented extension=php_mysql.dll in my php.ini file, but that alone did not solve it.
I then got frustrated and started installing mediawiki. It said my php installation "Could not find a suitable database driver!"
Again, I got frustrated. I ran php.exe out of curiosity. It said it couldn't find php_mysql.dll.
I looked in the php.ini file and changed extension_dir from the default to extension_dir = "C:\php5\ext" and now both Tikiwiki and mediawiki will install.
