Ok, this is going to be a long post, so let me begin at when this all started. This is a project for work, and what it essentially does is generate reports using Cake and a PDF generator. Now, it is ready to go live, and to get all that started we moved it to a dev server to test it before we put it fully live. I had been developing the app on my PC using WAMP for a while, inside a windows environment. The app moved from my local development platform of WAMP on windows to a Linux development server the company has.
As with any application, it never goes the way you want, but this time is was completely weird what happened. After gettting all the basics such as Mod Rewrite and whatnot to work, I noticed something. All you every get was a blank page. Nothing, no body, no head, nothing. Like any good developer, I checked all the logs. There are no errors in the php log, no apache errors, not even anything out of the ordinary in the Apache access log (typical mod rewrite access stuff was there). So, I decided to go through my code, and I began commenting things out. The problem seemed to disappear if I commented out the $uses array, giving you basically: $uses = array(); Immediately, it became clear that something was wrong with one of my models. I commented out the model names in the $uses array one by one, and they all seemed to give me a blank page. It is crazy how you can comment out the models in your app and everything seems to work. No matter what model you use, they all cause a completely blank page. Just to be sure, however, I keep one model on and cleared out its contents, given me a blank model, it still gave me a blank page. I have spent the better part of a week trying to fix this issue, spending most of that time trying various "blank page" fixes around the internet, both php and cakephp solution. Here are just some of the solutions I tried: -Deleted all the App Cahce in the Cake App Cache Folder -Checked every file for space after the PHP tags -Checked all the logs for errors: PHP, Cake, and Apache show nothing - Tried CakePHP Testing, Didn't really work that well, or help me find an issue -Looked at Blank page tickets over at the CakePHP Trac and This google group -Searched Google for Blank Page solutions, went through pages upon pages with no solution Now, keep in mind that I can get my app to show up as long as I don't use any models. As soon as I include a model with the $uses array, I get a blank page. It was suggested that it was linux being pick about case sensitive files names, but if that was the case, then it would never work. I am also aware of using PDF generaters can cause blank pages, and trust me, I know what and when to expect such a PDF error. I have been working on this app for a couple of months, and with Cake longer than that. This is something I have never seen before, and something I can't seem to find anyone else having an issue with. The only time I have ever seen a blank page like this is with Wordpress, and typically that was because I had a space after the closing PHP tag. I wish I could show you some code, but being a work project, I don't know how much I can show. Hopefully these descriptions help you. The strangest thing is that I can type random gibberish in most of my files and get a php error, indicating that php is still working. I really stuck right now, so any suggestions would help a lot. I am not a cake expert, but I am quite experienced in php and the web. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
