Forum admin index leads to a whitepage

New Member Joined: Oct 28, 2005 Posts: 3

Greetings Folks,

my problem: recently my provider had some sort of "chrash" - afterwards they weren't able to reclaim my phpnuke folder on my webspace, however the database was saved.

So i reinstalled 7.6-3.1 w/ sentinel 2.4.2 and updated the forum to 2.1.6[at least that's what my browser said]

Ok so, the page is working again, all users/posts are still there i just had to recustomize the theme(w/o the theme i got a blank whitepage) and a few gifs and blocks here and there.

Unfortunately the only thing that doens't seem to work so far is the admin control panel for the forums under :
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] => i get a blank whitepage here

before i made the bbtonuke upgrades to 216 i got errormessages instead of the blankpage looking something like this

Quote:

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not open BBTech template config file

DEBUG MODE

Line : 361
File : functions.php

I'm kinda lost, is anyone able and willing to help me out?

Thanks in Advance, it's much appreciated.

Blank pages are usually either caused by parsing errors OR security type code that stops the execution of the script. If you installed sentinel 2.4.2 and the 3.1 patch, it's possible that you missed an edit that could cause that. Search the forums here for blank page and you'll find some specific suggestions for resolving it.

If you loaded a database backup from the original site you also needed to reload the same files you had, i.e. the forums expect to find the same template files you had before, else you might need to drop the bbthemes and bbthemes_name db tables and recreate them with the nuke.sql from the version of Nuke you are using.

Code:

CREATE TABLE nuke_bbthemes (

I uploaded a second 7.6-3.1 version w/o sentinel and got the same error as in my upper qoute. I searched for blank page but didn't find an answer that would help me on the first three pages - or i just didn't get it :p

Thanks for the answer !

I don't know how i would upload a correct theme for the admin cp - there was no specific theme in the downloaded folder of the sites theme i'm using. However it did work before *shrug

I'm gonna backup the bbthemes and bbthemes_name db's. Could someone explain to me how i would add the new ones from the nuke.sql ?

tbh, i'm not a crack(as you can tell lol)
