Getting Blank Admin Screen and Errors on Root Page After Install

After doing an install on my shared web environment. (PHP5, Apache, MySQL) default settings I get a blank screen when I run the admin page and errors when I try and run the root page.

The tables appear to have been created and the install script says everything was successful

The errors appear as:

Warning: require(/home/comfixit/public_html/compoc/frog/app/frontend/main.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/comfixit/public_html/compoc/index.php on line 60

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/comfixit/public_html/compoc/frog/app/frontend/main.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/comfixit/public_html/compoc/index.php on line 60

After further review I am noticing that there is no app directory being created within the frog subdirectory.

Is there something I need to be doing differently to get it to write in those files?

Ok got it working.

This is really strange but somehow my FTP client was not copying over all of the files it needed to and was skipping the plugins and app folder within the Frog folder (at least I think thats the only files it was skipping).

I manually copied these files over and everything worked. I am running off of FileZilla 3.1.5.1. Why it copied the majority of the subfolders automaticaly but missed those is a mystery to me.

Regardless so far so good, everything seems to be working and I am ready to experiment.

Hi Joseph – glad it got sorted. Just so you know it’s not just you (!), I have had “file skipping” with FileZilla, too. These days, I upload ZIP archives, and unpack them on the remote server. Faster, safer!

David, do you unzip via the command line? An example command would be much appreciated!

FileZilla has more issues like that in my experience. I have also had corrupted transfers and hanging transfers. Since then, I’ve no longer used FileZilla.

When working under Windows, I can heartily recommend WinSCP.

When working under Linux, I can heartily recommend command line scp or something like gftp in the gui.

@ricks – sorry for the delay! I don’t use command line. I’m in Windoze, so simply .ZIP up what I want, use FileZilla (up till now!) to send it up to my host. Then the file manager on the remote host has a nice “unzip” function that I use. Simple, for me anyway.
