  • Blank page on install

    Posted 17 years 5 months ago
    • I am running Joomla 1.5.0. I have Legacy 1.0 mode turned on because of the old template I am running.

      I want to install a new template, Firenzie. I downloaded the files. I go into the Joomla Admin, Extensions, Install/uninstall and browse for my file, rt_firenzie_j15.tgz. I click on Upload & install. Then, after about 30 seconds I get a blank window. The template never seems to have installed.

    • Hi John,

      You need to turn off legacy mode for running native 1.5 templates.

    • Also turn on Errors and Notices in PHP and ensure that display errors is set to ON. You'll probably find you need to bump up your php memory settings from 8mb to 16 or better yet 32mb.

    • OK, I turned off the legacy mode plugin. Changed to a default template. Restarted apache. Still the same problem. So, I checked the apache error log and I found this:
      PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1982465 bytes) in

      So I increased the memory size in php.ini to 24M. Restarted apache again.

      Now I get:
      PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /web/site/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/tar.php on line 146, referer: www.site.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_installer

      So I opened up the archive and zipped it just to see if it was only a tar problem. Now I get:

      PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /web/site/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 309, referer: www.site.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_installer

      So, it is not tar that is causing the problems.

    • Try increasing maximum execution time (in php.ini):
      max_execution_time = 45

    • I tried 45, then I even tried 60 and I get:
      Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /web/site/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/tar.php on line 146

    • Wow. 120 did it! Thank you very much.

      Now my site is handing out the message " Welcome to the Frontpage
      Direct Access to this location is not allowed." but I think that has something to do with things I shutoff while trying to get the template uploaded. I will work on that as a separate issue.

      Thanks again!

    • I had to run legacy mode back on for my page to display.
