to turn off debugging:
in your /conf/config.php file
change
$Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE;
to
$Configuration['Debug'] = FALSE;
OR
remove the line $Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE;

Welcome to the community!
What version number of Vanilla are you running?
Blank screens are usually indicate an error occurred while parsing the PHP script. Please enable debugging by adding
$Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE;
to your/conf/config.php
file. This should cause an actual error screen to show up.Search first

i have the latest version 2.1
where exactly should i add that?
under Database, EnabledApplications, Garden?
anywhere is fine. however, its usually easier to find when you like things together. the config sorts itself out when you make a settings change in dashboard and rewrites itself anyway.

hi,
i get this when i added the debug code:
thanks for providing your error info.
it may be a result of using to restrictive a php setup or perhaps php version, e.g. safe mode or some other parameters - you might consider talking to to your host provider
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.functions.php
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
php safe mode is off and i have php version 5.4.30 but still the same error
parse_ini_file
has most probably been disabled (viadisable_functions
) in your php.ini. Some hoster give you access to that file. You can check that and - if possible - removeparse_ini_file
from the list by yourself or you have to contact your web hoster to do that for you.Your host probably thinks disabling
parse_ini_file
equals better security. Butparse_ini_file
is a parsing function, it doesn't control file permissions, so it is not better security.That said this issue probably comes up every now then, probably work putting it in a wrapper.
grep is your friend.
...besides it is not as they can't get php settings anyway. "Cargo Cult" system admin.
write_ini_string
should be enabled too.grep is your friend.
ok i have those 2 now i get this error when i click on each topic:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in /home/talkvp/public_html/library/vendors/simplehtmldom/simple_html_dom.php on line 988
