blank page

Blank page while installing drupal from cvs

Submitted by ravisagar on Sat, 04/18/2009 - 13:52

I downloaded the latest drupal from the cvs using the command below.

cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal checkout drupal

When I tried to install the drupal it gave me a blank page when I clicked on "Install drupal in english". I tried everything from re-downloading the code to commeting some lines in the install.inc file but all in vain but finaly I have fixed it. I know it is kinda dirty way of fixing things. I saw this page http://drupal.org/node/298391 while searching for solution. Though I did not apply the patch. I made the change in the includes/install.inc file manually.

In the function "function drupal_detect_database_types()" Replace this portion of the code.

 

Blank admin page in Drupal 6

I installed Drupal 6 today on my windows machine in office. After creating the first user I tried to access the Administration Page, but a blank page was returned. I searched google to fix this problem and got this link.

Go to system table and change the value of 'status', 'bootstrap' and 'throttle' to 0

update system s
set s.status=0, s.throttle=0, s.bootstrap=0
where filename = 'modules/update/update.module'

Now you should be able to access the ./admin area :)
