Hi,

I believe I have successfully installed the quickstart package for Puresite on my MAMP stack as I am able to access the administrator back end using the following URL http://127.0.0.1:8080/puresite/administrator.

However, when I try to access the site front end with the URL http://127.0.0.1:8080/puresite, the browser (Safari) returns a blank page (no text – just white). I have tried with and without index.php – same result.

I have tried to access via firefox as an alternate browser and even installed on another Mac – with the same result.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, Champson
Do use Mac OS?
Please enable error_reporting of PHP configuration for display error
🙂

Hi Hung,

I am running mampstack from bitnami on Mac OS 10.7 (Lion).

As a test, I tried installing the default Joomla install (2.5.4) on the same mamp stack that I am having problems with the Puresite quickstart. Both front end and back end access worked fine. Also, when I uploaded puresite.zip quickstart to my bitnami cloud host, unzipped and installed, it worked fine – I am only having issue on my local Mac(s).

Sorry to sound ignorant, but could you let me know how to enable error_reporting of PHP?

Thanks
Craig

Hi Craig,

I’m sure that Hung is ‘000 times better qualified to help you than me but as a fellow mac owner I know they can be a pain sometimes with Joomla.

Not sure if you’ve seen this but it does help solve the many permissions problems that can arise:

particularly this bit

sudo chown -R _www ~/Sites/joomla/
sudo chmod -R ugo+rwx ~/Sites/joomla/

Hi swissa,

Thanks for your post. I am using Apache within the MAMP stack to hopefully get around Mac OS quirks (i.e. not using the built in Mac Apache server – at least I don’t think). Do you think the permissions your article references could still be the issue?

The strange issue is that installing a standard joomla package on top of the MAMPstack from bitnami works fine – front and back end, just not the puresite quickstart package.

Thanks

Craig

It can’t hurt to set the permissions using chown and chmod so I do it everytime. I use xxamp stack for my apache etc and get the same as you. A standard Joomla install works fine but a quickstart from ANY template supplier (not just JA) seems to need the “sudo” work done. Strange.

I tend now to use a sub-domain on my main server as a dev area as it is quicker and easier to move when going live. It also makes sure that I KNOW it will work on the server i.e. differing php versions.

As I said, it was an idea based on my experience and Hung is the guy with the big brains! 😉 Hopefully you get a fix ‘cos when you do I’ll be logging it for my future use!! :laugh:

Hi Champson,
If after you do step by step as Swissa help , the issue still not solve. You can check what is reason of this issue? AS
You can add code:
<blockquote><?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set(‘display_errors’,’on’);
?></blockquote>
to header index.php ( template using )

OR change your php setting on server:
<blockquote>1. Open “/Applications/MAMP/conf/php4/php.ini” or “/Applications/MAMP/conf/php5/php.ini” (depending on your MAMP settings)
2. Search “display_errors = Off”
3. Change to “display_errors = On”
4. Save file
5. Restart servers</blockquote>

Then you access to front end to get error notice

Hi Hung,
I have the same problem both with Puresite and Kranos.
When using MAMP (MAMP PRO 2.0.5), the php setting on error display must be set in MAMP itself, not php.ini.

Once launched website in local the error displayed is the following:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Browser in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/NAMESITE/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/core/libs/Browser.php on line 139.

Yes
You open file plugins/system/jat3/jat3/base-themes/default/blocks/usertools/layout-switcher.php and change line 17 from
Code:

t3import (‘core.libs.Browser’);

to
Code:

t3import (‘core.libs.browser’);

Save it and test your site again.

Or if still error, please down php version in your system

Hi Hung and swissa,

Using a combination of your advice, I have solved the problem of getting a local host version working. I manually installed the mySQL myphpadmin and configured Mac OS Apache to work with the permission changes swissa suggested followed by the t3import(‘core.libs.browser’); edit suggested by Hung.

Still unable to get it to work with the bitnami stack version – but will try permission changes in the root web directory there and see if any luck.

Thanks for your help.
