I installed ccTiddly 1.8.5 per instructions in the README file.

Here's what I did:

1. copied the ccTiddly folder into my Apache webroot;

2. created a new MySQL database;

3. created a new database user;

4. granted usage privileges to the new user;

5. granted database privileges to the new user;

6. attempted to connect as the new user to the new database -
succeeded;

7. populated the database tables with the install.sql file;

8. edited includes/config.php, and set the database connection
strings;

9. browsed to "http://localhost/cctiddly/";

9. returned a completely BLANK page;

Checking the returned page reveils that NOTHING was returned.
The browser simply erased it's window.
Even stranger is the Apache log: a perfect HTTP 200 returncode with no
bytes sent.
How do you like them apples?

I checked all kinds of settings and could find nothing wrong. Just to
test my setup, I got a total different PHP/MySQL webapp, installed it
following the procedure above, and, guess what? Worked like a charm
the first time.

If anybody could enlighting me to as what the hell is going on, I
would be very much obliged.

Hi Zhivago,

in the includes/config.php file you could try changing :

$tiddlyCfg['developing'] = 0;

to

$tiddlyCfg['developing'] = 2;

That may leave some clues in your log files. Let us know what you find.


Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon,

The complete blank page is caused by Apache returning a response with
content-length: 0.

Ring a bell?

The Apache error.log shows something interesting:

Any clues?

Could you try something?

Just try to comment the line number 37 ( //doIncludes(); ) of file /
htdocs/cctiddly/plugins/OpenID/files/openid/common.php.

and see if it is working...

In my latest testing of "Trunk" release, I've encountered the same.

My solution was simply to add OpenID plugin, to the disabled list in
config.php, like this:

---------- code ------
$tiddlyCfg['plugins_disabled'] = array(
....
"OpenID",
...
);
-----------------------

Hi all,

Does disabling the openID plugin resolve the issue for all who have experienced it?
