Database white screen in setup [CentOS 7]

Vijay · May 6, 2015, 2:26pm

Hi,
I am trying to install Invoice plan in CentOS 7 with MariaDB:1:5.5.41-2.el7_0 i am getting the white screen while navigating to the database configuration page. I have tried the solution posted across Database white screen in setup, but no luck.
I need support to resolve it. Please let me know the paths of the logs so that i can share it across.

Thanks in Advance.

Please enable logging for the application by setting the log threshold to 2 in /application/config/config.php and try again. Then post the content of the log file in /application/logs/ here so we can take a look at this.

I could imagine that this is a problem related to compatibility with MariaDB…

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I have enabled the logging and shared the logs in pastebin.com across the thread Database white screen in setup [CentOS 7]

Please review and provide your feedback.

I have the same issue: after providing the database parameters in the /setup/configure_database page, I see a blank page.

I changed the dbdriver to

$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';

in application/config/database.php as suggested in this post, but that doesn’t change anything.

I’m running InvoicePlane 1.3.3 on FreeBSD 10.1 (amd64) with nginx-1.8.0, MySQL 5.6.24 and PHP 5.6.8 (through PHP-FPM).

Here’s the debug log of the installation:

Could you please take a look at your web server’s error logs? In the app logs there are no hints for what’s going wrong.

I enabled PHP debugging using this guide, but I see no messages in my logs.

I enabled debugging on my MySQL DB and during the installation connected to the console to do

show processlist;

but there’s no sign of any connection made by InvoicePlane.

I redid the installation a number of times, clearing out the settings in application/config/database.php. I also did them with $dbdriver set to ‘mysql’ instead of ‘mysqli’, but I didn’t see any change in behaviour.

To me it looks like the installer never connects to my MySQL DB.

And the web server error logs? If the application fails this should be logged there.

tterpelle · May 20, 2015, 8:19am

Exactly what I would expect as well. But the logs only showed 200s, even the error_log remained empty after enabling “debug” in nginx.

I just downgraded PHP 5.6.8 to 5.4.40 and now the installation works fine:

Database Details

        
                        
                The database is successfully configured.

Just for fun I upgraded PHP to v5.5.24, in the middle of the installation procedure no less, and everything still works. I’m now creating my first user account.

I noticed MyClientBase also started working againg with PHP 5.4, but broke with PHP 5.5.

Could it be that the CodeIgniter framework used for InvoicePlane isn’t validated for PHP 5.6 yet?

tterpelle · May 20, 2015, 8:30am

I’ve been using MyClientBase (v0.12) and it breaks with PHP v5.5 and up, so I’m keeping my PHP on v5.4.*, this way both InvoicePlane and MCB are working and I can migrate my data from MCB to IP.

After that I can still upgrade to 5.5 if I need it.

Is anyone successfully using InvoicePlane on PHP 5.6?

I will test this and report back.
