Blank Screen (Godaddy host site & PHPiCal v2.31 & MAC iCal)

[carla1020]

Whew, finally got my login stuff straightened out.

I'm really hoping someone can help me with my PHPical configuration issues. I downloaded PHPical v2.31. I copied all files to my site hosted by GoDaddy (WebDAV enabled) and my MAC iCal calendar is successfully publishing to the \phpicalendar\calendar folder on my site. When I launch the URL (http:\\mydomain.com\phpicalendar\) I get a blank page.

My pertinent GoDaddy hosting configuration is as follows:

Operating System: Windows
PHP Version: PHP 5.x

I tried attaching the configuration files (native, text, Word doc) but no luck. I used them exactly as they were in the zip file on your site with no changes.

Any guidance you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

A blank page indicates that PHP has crashed. I don't know how GoDaddy does things, but see if you can get access to the error logs to see what it says when the crash happens.

p.s. The OS and PHP version that are relevant are what's on the server. Are they really running Windows?

I've been recommending to users that they enable error output in /functions/init/set_error_reporting.php:

Code: Select all

    error_reporting (E_ALL);
    #error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);
    #error_reporting(0); 

Then they can reply back with any errors, warnings, and notices that PHP prints.

Hi,

Thanks a bunch for your response. Yes the PHP & OS are the versions on the server. I found out from GoDaddy that I am not able to view error logs since I have IISv7 installed. Further, I am unable to enable WebDav in IIS unless I pay an exhorbinant amount of $$ each month for a virtal or dedicated server. This is way overkill for my needs LOL.

So I'm back to square one. In re-reading the documentation, it looks like I should be able to publish my Mac iCal calendar using your tool WITHOUT having WebDav enabled. Am I reading this right? If so, will my Windows PHP v5x hosting server configuration support it (I will try in the meantime, but just thought I would ask in case I get stumped)?

Thanks in advance.

Publishing with publish.php (included in the /calendars/ directory) might work on your setup. I haven't tried the script myself, but that's what it was written for!

Thanks a bunch...I'm having problems with "page not found". I tried the following:

**Setting calendar_path to \hosting\xxxxxxx\html\phpicalendars\calendars\ (GoDaddy.com absolute hosting path is D:\hosting\xxxxxxx\html\phpicalendars\calendars\)

**Setting default_path to http://www.mydomain.com\phpicalendars\calendars\publish.php
I tried setting these both up independent of one another and together with the same results

From my browser window I'm using the following URL ---> http://www.mydomain.com\phpicalendars\calendars\publish.php

I made no changes to the publish.php file so it looks like logging and publishing are already enabled (see below)

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

carla1020,

You might want to use the forward slash character: / on URLs, instead of the Windows-esque back slash: \ Your default_path config variable should be: http://www.mydomain.com/phpicalendars/c ... ublish.php and *not* http://www.mydomain.com\phpicalendars\calendars\publish.php
(Notice how phpBB was able to parse the first form of the URL, and not the second ... because those back slashes are not valid URL characters.)

The calendar_path *probably* needs the back slashes, though (and the drive letter!) because that's a reference to a path internal to the server.

Hi Parasyte,

I will have to look into your suggestion...I put this down months ago in frustration when I couldn't get it to work, but I think I will try again

Thanks a bunch!
