updatedb.php failing with blank screen

[tkroll]

Hello,

updatedb.php is failing with no errors. Don't see anything in error logs either. install.php exectues fine. Tables are created.
DATADIR chmod 777 and chgrp to nobody:nobody

Noticed updatedb.php didn't have the trailing ?>. Added that but it didn't help. Also ran the file from the shell and it
give Segmentation Fault.

I'm on a dedicated Liquid Web server.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

A segfault is a serious error, can you try the suggestion in this post:? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=97#p441

I have heard that some people have a segfault when using XMLReader.

The trailing ?> is not required and is no longer recommended since it makes it easy to accidentally add whitespace to the script output.

Thanks for the quick response.

Your first response to OP fixed it.

Cheers,
Ty

If you don't mind helping me narrow this problem down, can you please paste this code into a file on the server you were having problems with and visiting it in a browser, then replying with the result? I'm trying to narrow down which versions of XMLReader / libxml are causing the fault.

Code: Select all

<pre>
<?php
echo "PHP ".phpversion()."\n\n";
$exts = array('xml', 'libxml', 'SimpleXML', 'XMLReader', 'mysql', 'MySQLi');
foreach($exts as $extname){
   try{
      $ext = new ReflectionExtension($extname);
      echo $ext->info();
   }catch(Exception $e){
      echo "ERROR: Extension $extname is not available\n\n";
   }
}
?>
</pre>
