Gallery stopped working

[macnyc]

I was installed with Coppermine 1.4.4 and all was fine.  Suddenly this week the gallery stopped working.  All other pages on the site work fine.  In Firefox I get just a white/blank page.  In IE I get a page can not be displayed error.  I upgraded to 1.4.8 - still the same problem.  I also restarted my server and mysql.  Any advice?

Follow the tutorial on enabling debug mode: http://coppermine-gallery.net/tutorial/

enabled debug - where do the debug logs go?  The site still acts the same - page can not be displayed.

I installed a new version on a new site - just to start fresh and see if I can get a clean install working. It did not install I added the mysql info on the install page and it just went to a blank screen.  I have 5 installations and they all stopped working.  I think I had a server update that must have caused an incompatibility. 

The clean install is:

Anyone know of issues with current versions of php?  or other prereqs?

[Sami]

- do you create empty database?
- do you create a user with full privilages and bind it to db?
- do you provide correct password for that user?
- do you provide correct database name ?
- do you know your Mysql server host is "localhost" ?

[macnyc]

Yes to all above.  I can give you a log in to access the site if that would help.

I got 404 not found after submiting the form!!!
even if I post clean form  (I did not put anything on it !!!)
do you have any kind of security mod on your server ?
- and also I think you should check your db username as your hosting control panel is Cpanel that user should be X_Y (X is your main username for Cpanle and Y is your new user)

[macnyc]

I do not have a security mod - I had 4 coppermine sites working - and they all stopped -I did not modify anything - although my server is set up for auto updates.

I verified my username - and it is correct x_y - but I still get 404.

Any modifications to php that could have occured?

Ask your webhost about the changes/updates. If you're self-hosted, look up the logs and roll back the changes step by step to find the culprit.

My webhost company solved the problem:

"If you upgraded mysql you will have to also recompile php"

I recompiled php and all is well.

Thanks all for your support.

"If you upgraded mysql you will have to also recompile php"

You failed to say so in the first place - I have another definition of the word "suddenly":

Suddenly this week the gallery stopped working.

Would have saved us a lot of time if you had posted this in the first place.
