install/configure PHPWebAdmin

I have an issue installing and configuring;

My context:
Windows XP Pro SP 2
Apache 2.0.53
Mysql 4.1.10
PHP 5.03

These are the steps I took;
Copied the phpwebadmin folder to my documentroot.
Copied config-dist.php to config.php
Created template_c and temp directories
Changed config.php settings to;

Code: Select all

$hmail_config['rootpath']          = "c:/apache2/htdocs/phpwebadmin/";
$hmail_config['rooturl']           = "http://127.0.0.1/phpwebadmin";
$hmail_config['includepath']       = $hmail_config['rootpath'] . "include/";
$hmail_config['temppath']          = $hmail_config['rootpath'] . "temp/";
$hmail_config['pluginpath']        = $hmail_config['rootpath'] . "plugins/";
$hmail_config['admin']             = "user";
$hmail_config['adminpassword']     = "password";
$hmail_config['defaultlanguage']   = "english";
$hmail_config['defaulttheme']      = "default";

All I get when I enter "http://127.0.0.1/phpwebadmin/" in my browser is a blank page.
Other web application like phpmyadmin, phpbb, vbulletin and mambo work fine.

I have absolutely no idea what to do.

Thanks in advance.

sorry for my english

so a have the same problem and downloaded PHP 5.03 installed and...the same... so i do the following things to get web administration working. I rename my directory to "mail" for fast typing

$hmail_config['rootpath'] = "C:/apache/Apache2/htdocs/mail/";
$hmail_config['rooturl'] = "http://127.0.0.1/mail/";
$hmail_config['includepath'] = $hmail_config['rootpath'] . "include/";
$hmail_config['temppath'] = $hmail_config['rootpath'] . "temp/";
$hmail_config['pluginpath'] = $hmail_config['rootpath'] . "plugins/";
$hmail_config['admin'] = "********";
$hmail_config['adminpassword'] = "*******";
$hmail_config['defaultlanguage'] = "english";
$hmail_config['defaulttheme'] = "default";

look at end slashes ("/") at rooturl and rootpath. They are as i understand VERY important.

second thing is to have subfolder "sessiondata" in your php folder. I did't have it and receive some stupud errors, but after i created this "sessiondata" folder, everythings go normaly.

I hope that helps

Also, you could try turning on error_reporting in php.ini to see if that shows some error.

I added the forward slashes to the 'rootpath' and 'rooturl' and now everything seems to be working fine.

So, thanks

I'm running IIS 6.0, PHP 5.03 and hmailserver with MSSQL. I'm having the same blank-page problem as mentioned above but nothing seems to be fixing it. Below is my config file.

Code: Select all

// Global configuration
$hmail_config['rootpath']		= "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/PHPWebAdmin/";
$hmail_config['rooturl']		= "http://127.0.0.1/PHPWebAdmin/";
$hmail_config['includepath']		= $hmail_config['rootpath'] . "include/";
$hmail_config['temppath']		= $hmail_config['rootpath'] . "temp/";
$hmail_config['pluginpath']		= $hmail_config['rootpath'] . "plugins/";
$hmail_config['admin']			= "PRIVATE";
$hmail_config['adminpassword']		= "PRIVATE";
$hmail_config['defaultlanguage']	= "english";
$hmail_config['defaulttheme']		= "default";

[/code]

Then why do you think it would be "the same" problem?

You're problem is probably the same as the end of this thread:

Hi Martin,

I'm still at the blank page stage and haven't gotten as far as the login form yet.

Try commeting out the "doc_root" line in your php.ini file I had the same problem but commeting that line makes it all work. (though I have IIS)

I too have IIS 6.0. Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't do anything.

I just realized I'm running php 5.0.4 if that makes a difference.

edit

Okay, I fixed the problem. I created the temp folders and gave the user Write/Read control but not FULL control. Changing that fixed the problem. Thanks for all of your help.
