Blank page shown after config under Windows unless database exists -- needs flush
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description:
After a config under Windows 2000, a blank page is shown, unless the wikidb
database already exists.
This occurred in all the versions I tested: 1.3.3, 1.3.5, 1.3.6.

The fix that worked for me was to edit config/index.php to add "flush();" after
"initialiseMessages();" to match the code for the working case.


Version: 1.3.x

I am having the same issue.
I have FTP'd onto WebHost4Life, run through the install questionare and then moved the LocalSettings.php file back to the root
directory, then when I try and start the wiki I get nothing.
Has there been any progress with this?

Chad, you seem to have a different issue. I got the blank page as the response
to the config. The main page of the wiki subsequently worked for me.

HEAD (1.4) does not have this issue. Patch is for REL1_3.

1.3 no longer maintained, listed as working in 1.4. Closing bug as obsolete.
