Thread

Well, the title about says it all.  I finally upgraded from 1.6.3 to 1.6.7, went back in, and I can’t Edit or Publish entries in 7 of my 10 weblogs. The other three work just fine. I disabled extensions, to no effect.  I searched this forum, and it seems that people had similar issues, but they all seemed to be related to either language translations (I’m using English only) or extensions (they’re disabled).  What other info can I provide to maybe figure this out? 

Build 20090320, BTW.

thanks,

benjy,

What behaviour are you experiencing when you do try to edit or publish?
Are you receiving any sort of error message?

Will you walk us through the steps you are taking to publish or edit a weblog?

Sorry…I guess I wasn’t clear—I get blank pages in my browser when I try to edit or publish pages in 7 or the 10 weblogs.  No error message (display_errors is off in my php_info).

Basically, in 3 of the 10 weblogs, it works as normal.  In the other 7, I get completely blank white pages.

How much memory is allocated for PHP?

EEWiki:// How to Determine Memory Limits

20Mb.

Try raising it to 64M and see if that makes a difference.

EEWiki:// HowTo Override Memory Limitations

Turn on error reporting would probably be helpful as well.

Changed to 64M via .htaccess -> no change
Turned on error reporting with the code changes (it’s off via the host) -> and I still only see blank pages.  Should i contact my host?

How do the weblogs differ?

What about extensions?

I use them for different sections of the site ( gmvoices.com ). Some have custom field groups, some don’t. However, one of the weblogs that works has the same field group as one of the ones that doesn’t…so I’m not sure it’s that.

Extensions are disabled.

And you’re certain the switch to 64M stuck? Some hosts don’t allow you to chamge memory_limit via .htaccess.

Local Value is 64M, but Master Value is still 20M.  So….um…I’m not sure 😊  Should I contact the host?

Also, if you aren’t on the most recent build, upgrading might clear up any issues of bad file uploading if they exist.

Also see:

http://expressionengine.com/knowledge_base/article/visiting_my_site_results_in_a_blank_page/

increased php memory through the host to 64M (now it shows up on both Local and Master values).  Still no change.

Let’s make sure your errors actually. You followed the steps outlined in the wiki article Sue linked to above, correct? Take a simple template, make sure PHP is enabled, then introduce a deliberate PHP error. It doesn’t matter, something like

<?php echo $foo ?>

will do. Getting any errors?

OK…well, um, problem apparently solved.  It works now.
I decided to try re-uploading the 1.6.7 files (after deleting the corresponding folders in my system folder), and now it works.  Hmmmmm.  I’m guessing there was a file upload error the first time.

I appreciate the responses and the response time, Sue, and I apologize for taking up your time.
