Blank Pages

I got everything set up correctly finally, and it worked great... for about a day. Now every page I try to load simply gives a white page when I connect from my domain (glorf.com) or any subdomain thereof... any ideas what could have caused this?

 

Are they HTML pages, or PHP, or something else?
What's in your Apache error log?

 

index.php and some other php files. The pages are most definately there according to FTP.

I just got home and noticed that the pages are no longer blank... now everything points to the shared IP page except for a test.glorf.com that I added while I was trying to figure out why the pages were blank... the test.glorf.com page shows the default "This is the standard index of your website." page.

I just looked in the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file and noticed that the only <VirtualHost> thing is for test.glorf.com aside from the main server one... none of the other sites I set up before are there... I never looked there before, but I assume they were there while they were working... 0_0

The only error since I noticed the problem that I can see is a "File does not exist: /var/www/sharedip/web15"

Going to the panel opening the existing sites and saving them doesn't seem to add them to the vhosts either


hmm... come to think of it and my small linux experiance... could this be related to permissions? I installed most of this stuff under root, and i've been running it under another user account now for security... the folder permissions are to root... is that a problem?

 

What do you mean with that?

What's in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?

 

I mean that when I installed LAMP and ISPConfig, I was logging into the linux box as root. Now that I have completed the installation, I am having it log into "Glorfindel" when it boots because i've always been told never to use root cept when you need to. The permissions on the Vhosts file is root:root -rw-r-r- (644). Would this cause ISPConfig to not be able to write to the file properly? I'm very new to linux

I assume that there should also be entries there for www and tsl... as I have two sites I've setup: tsl.glorf.com and www.glorf.com... and those both have aliases as plain glorf.com and jpl.glorf.com should go to tsl.glorf.com/jpl/

 

Yep

Nope

 

Nothing in that log is tagged ERROR, but there are several "INFO" messages.

Looks ok, too. Can you check again if there are web sites missing in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?

 

The Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file looks the same as when I posted, cept it has a t2.glorf.com that I added later on. The two original sites before the problem started are still missing.

 

And you can see these two sites in ISPConfig, and they're not in the recycle bin?
Did you change anything manually in the ISPConfig database?

 

yes

yes

no

 

What about this line from the ISPConfig log:

Code:

25.02.2006 - 04:13:09 => DEBUG - The name  www.glorf.com  is already in use by another site or domain.<br>The Domain belongs to another client.<br><br> <a href='../../isp_manager/frame_start.php?'>Next &gt;&gt;</a>

It seems there's already another site using www.glorf.com (maybe on the Co-Domains tab or in the recycle bin).

 

I am not sure, but I think that error was from an attempt to create another www.glorf.com in the admin panel just to see if it would let me since the original doesn't seem to work

 

Although I really want to know the cause of this problem so that it doesn't happen again, I really need to get these websites back up quick. I finally decided to try deleting them and adding them once again. I find that they will not remove from the recycle bin though, even after I restart the server machine.

If I were to delete the sites, would it delete all the http files and folders and the MySQL databases or would those remain so that I could transfer between them?

Oh, and the two new test sites I added were able to be deleted just fine by the way.


EDIT:
I have been able to fix one of my pages, and I think I can use the same method to fix the other... but I am a little worried that this same random error may occur again since I never was able to figure out what caused it in the first place, and I obviously can't go thru the SQL to remove parts and setup all the SQL databases by hand every time it does... I guess i'll let it go until it happens again (hopefully it doesn't!)
