Blank Pages

And you're absolutely sure you didn't change anything in the ISPConfig database?

 

I'm 100% sure.

It happened again just a few minutes ago... The pages are all blank as they were when the problem started the last time...

I was messing around refreshing my memory on HTML since I haven't used it in a couple years and I want to create a nice new site. I was using CuteFTP's edit feature, which just uploads new copies of a page when you save changes to the document. After a whole bunch of edits, I noticed the pages were coming up white... thought it was a problem in my code at first, but then it hit me... this is the same thing happening again...

My "fix" was deleting the pages from the SQL tables and the control panel, and re-creating them, then copying the SQL over with phpMyAdmin, and re-uploading with FTP. Seems to have worked about as long as the original setup had.... this is driving me nuts!

I was uploading to a directory of the website www.glorf.com that I added by FTP called "dev"... so www.glorf.com/dev/ I hadn't touched the control panel since "Fix-ing" it earlier. (At which time everything loaded fine.)

 

From the linux machine... here is everything in the ispconfig.log for today's date....

Sorry bout the inconsistancy of size... VNC wasn't too nice about the scrolling thru text This time the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf looks right....

 

Here is the current Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

There is also another file in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts ... it contains Vhosts_ispconfig.conf and Vhosts_ispconfig.conf~ both of these files appear to have the same contents...

Also, 192.168.1.2 shows the shared IP page. Anything else shows a blank white page.

Heres a new discovery... /etc/httpd/logs/error_log shows me a whole bunch of
[error] an unknown filter was not added: PHP
but this appears to be a warning due to a changed methodology... so nevermind that.

Should I try re-installing FC4 and ISPConfig now that I have more knowledge of the subject? Perhaps I went wrong somewhere along the way?

 

Might not be the worst idea since I have no idea anymore what could be wrong on your system.

 

In the middle of reinstalling Fedora, I think I figured out at least part of what was wrong... earlier, I had been running a secondary apache on my gaming PC. Once the server was back up, I disabled that service, but I did notice that http://localhost/ was giving me white pages on the gaming PC. The ports were supposedly forwarded correctly, but as i've mentioned before, my router keeps screwing up with the port forwards.

The only thing that this wouldn't explain is the former removal from the VHosts_ispconfig, and why it worked temporarily when I deleted the sites and remade them in the panel.

In any case, I took some time to try to fix the stupid router, and I think this may have done the job... I found an open sourced project for my router, that is a custom firmware (http://www.hyperwrt.org/). I loaded it up, and now I get 30 extra port forward slots, and I can now telnet to the router's OS! Using this new power, I flushed out the registers completely and reflashed clean. Should be just like a brand new router out of the box now. I'm also thinking about trying to recode the DynDNS support bit of the router's firmware to handle dnsexit... might be fun
