Blank page after Installation

Post by Pierre »

Hello,

I've installed without any issue TL 1.8 Beta 2.

After login as admin/admin, I get a blank page. The only option I get is the possibility to change admin's password, mail, name... And nothing else.

My platform is : Red Hat ES5; php 5.1.6

I noticed that other users get the same problem. According to installation guide, php 5.2 is advised.

Question : do I need to upgrade my Linux platform to get TL 1.8 Beta 2 working. Note that I've no problem with TL 1.7.4.

If yes, it would be nice to update the installation script (automatic method) to inform the user.

Thanks for your advice/reply.

empty testproject table

Post by chuck »

When I log into the TestLink web site, all it shows me is an empty 'test project' dropdown list on the first line, and 'Home', 'documentation', 'Personal', and 'Logout' links.
I do not see any sort of management menu giving me the ability to create a test project.

I checked my database, and there are 39 tables. The testproject table is empty. Is there a 'model' database with values to load to configure the testlink database?
Is it possible that the account I'm using isn't recognized as an admin account?

Installed 1.7

Post by chuck »

I uninstalled the 1.8beta2 and installed 1.7.4 and I now have a working TestLink install.

My system is running Fedora core 5, with updates. TestLink is one of five open source Test Management tools I have installed over the past two days. The failed install of 1.8beta2 and the waste of time trying to get it to run are frustrating. But 1.7.4 works now. I will be able to dump that database, and compare when I next try to install 1.8.

Hello

With lampp it works. I do think installation check should be more restrictive in PHP version used.

Best regards

I've found the same issue on my Windows 2003 with Apache 2.0.58 /PHP 5.1.6 /MySQL 5.0.24a.
I've tried a clean install and upgrade from 1.7.3.
Screenshot is attached.
Looks like there are some settings that are blocking script executing.
Additionally, I've found the following message in the debug log:

Code: Select all

Object of class tlRight to string conversion - in C:\servers\www\testlink\lib\functions\user.class.php - Line 360
	[08/Aug/26 06:56:55][WARNING][455m8o5arpeh4iuttjl2uj9fs7][GUI] 
I've concluded that there is unable to retrieve user rights and display page content. I've tried to fix it myself but cannot.
Might be there is an error where unserializing rights from database? They looks no as array - but as objects.
If you wanna any additional info to investigate the issue - you may contact me at ICQ 164208732.

Guys, looks like I've solved this issue for me..
I've upgraded my PHP from 5.1.6 to 5.2.6 and this error had gone away.
