blank page when trying to install

Hi all,

when I try the "upload and install" feature on my local mirror of my joomla site, all I get is a blank page.
I had the same problem before with another extension (CB) and had to tweak my index.php to bump up maximum load time and memory consumption allowed. This however does not do the trick with the Ninjaboard install.
I'm using Mamp on osx as my server environment and have php 5.2.6

Does anyone have an idea what's going on?

Cheers,

I found the problem. I did had changed the root index.php but needed ton change the administrator/index.php as well with something like:
set_time_limit(300);
ini_set("memory_limit", "128M");

Hi Frank,

welcome to ninjaForge. :)

Unfortunately I do not have a Mac, so I can't do tests on this, but I will point one of our Mac Owners to this thread and one of them will then respond as soon as possible.

Best Regards

Thank you very much for sharing your solution with us, but I do have one little question, namely how old is your MAMPP installation? Did upgrade your PHP module from an earlier version?

I ask this because the memory limit of 128MB is a php.ini default setting with PHP later than 5.2.0.

thanks heaps for the quick reply, very much appreciated!
I only installed MAMP last week, so it should be the most recent version. I didn't really test is without the memory line, it might be redundant and only the time limit made it work?! I just copy pasted those lines from another forum and it worked, so I didn't touch it :-D.

cheers,

Hi frueter,

Welcome to Ninja Forge.

There is a mistaken image file in the NB install zip that we need to get out. it's a bit bigger than it should be. Sorry for the inconvenience.
