Database white screen in setup

paralin · March 9, 2015, 7:17am

Hi, I have everything installed in a Docker container:

paralin/InvoicePlane/blob/master/Dockerfile

FROM eboraas/apache-php

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install php5-mcrypt -y
RUN a2enmod rewrite

RUN rm /var/www/* -rf
RUN sed -i "s/AllowOverride None/AllowOverride All/g" /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
ADD . /var/www/
COPY php.ini /usr/local/etc/php/php.ini

RUN chmod 0777 -R /var/www/uploads/ /var/www/application/config/database.php /var/www/application/helpers/mpdf/tmp/ /var/www/application/logs/

and the setup appears OK until I enter the database info.

After I enter the database info it’s just a white screen.

I’ve verified the information is all correct, what’s the deal?

We need the apache error logs for this. Seems to be a problem that may be not displayed?

Edit: @paralin Can you provide the error logs?

jagadesh · March 18, 2015, 11:39pm

I am also getting the same error. After database info i see a blank screen

jagadesh · March 19, 2015, 2:37am

I dont have an option to upload error log

@jagadesh Please use paste in.com or a similar service to share such long logs with us.
But these logs doesn’t help us as there are no errors listed.

jagadesh · March 19, 2015, 1:35pm

Yeah i dont find any errors in logs as well as apache logs. I installed in Cent OS and in sub domain. I verified php, mysql and mcrypt version. Everything looks good. last url i saw in the browser is /setup/configure_database

Please let me know if you need any more details to debug.

Could you please take a look at the database and check if some tables were created?
And check the file /application/config/database.php if there are credentials for your database stored.

jagadesh · March 19, 2015, 2:40pm

I checked database.php, all credentials were stored and no tables were create in database. Its empty

jagadesh · March 20, 2015, 2:33am

I even tried creating in subdirectory, i see same white screen after i entered database details. No clue in logs too

Kovah · March 20, 2015, 5:05am

Well that’s weird that there are no logs about this…
Could you please start again from scratch? Delete everything and run the setup again?

jagadesh · March 20, 2015, 1:26pm

Oh yeah i deleted and tried from scratch and even i tried in 2 different domain. I see same white screen after database details…

jagadesh · March 20, 2015, 1:27pm

I even tried loading database table manually, still no luck.

Kovah · March 20, 2015, 11:08pm

Well at this point I have no clue what the problem could be. I mean if there aren’t any error logs what’s the problem then?

Could you please share your system configuration?

jagadesh · March 21, 2015, 12:27am

Here is my system configuration

CENTOS 5.11 i686
Apache/2.2.29 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.29 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_bwlimited/1.4
mcrypt 2.5.8
PHP Version 5.4.38
MySQL : 5.5.42-cll
