Topic: Blank screen on phpnuke

[Peter]

Hi

I did install phpnuke to find out only a blank screen when connecting to localhost.  This happen even do I follow all instruction from phpnuke.org

Anyone had the same problem in the past.

Also found this:

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

chkconfig --list show mysqld is on

Any clue

Yes I've had the blank screen.  I can't remember for sure how I fixed it.
Have you changed the default mysql root password?
I had and had to change it back.  I then used this in config.php

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "admin";
$dbpass = "mysecretpassword";
$dbname = "nuke";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";

Hope this helpd

Having the same problem also with my e-smith server not a clue what is going wrong. shame it doesnt work.

Thank's Beefer,

But I notice the same problem on redhat 8.0.  It must be something that I do wrong.  maybe the command are not working ;

mysqladmin create nuke

mysql nuke < nuke.sql

chmod 666 ultramode.txt

after modifying config.php and httpd.conf I'm getting a blank screen when trying to access http://localhost/admin.php or http://mydomaine.com/admin.php .

I want to use Francisco Burzi phpnuke.
