Upon restoration of my site onto my test server they fail with a blank page.

I check my error logs and I get this.

Do you have any ideas as to what could cause this? I have never had this problem before on this server, it seems strange, but I do not normally use Joomla 3.2.1.

I've followed your other instructions, there is definitely enough memory, there are no .htaccess files as I was going to set them up on the live server not local, permissions should be correct

Are you getting the blank page error during the restore process or from your restored site?

Everything seems to go ok, but then at the end it show's a blank page.

I've tried putting in the live site url and cookies/tmp but none of them worked.
There is no .htaccess file.

The site is in a folder not within the root.

Are you getting the blank page error during the restore process or from your restored site?

No the restore process goes to the end. Once it redirects the site is blank.

Eoin,

it is possible that you need an .htaccess file, for example to turn on Rewrite, which may be used by Joomla!'s SEF settings. Generally, the white page is some sort of error condition. You may be able to get more information by setting your Error reporting to Development in your Global Configuration screen. Then load the page again and see if you get any more information.

The errors in your error log refer to a file in the /installation folder, which would not exist after the restore completes. That is worrisome because it may indicate that the restore did not finish. It does not sound that way from your description.

I will try that, but I don't have rewrite turned on in my local setting or sef urls. Maybe I have some .htaccess in my root folder. I'll check that. The url does include index.php so it isn't trying to do a sef url anyway.

I can change the error reporting in the global config and then change again, but I don't think that is the reason. I think it might be something to do with EACCELERATOR crashing as that's what the error message says. That is a caching mod on my server, but I am too inexperienced to know much more than that.

As far as I can tell then restoration doesn't "finalise"

I don't get a post installation message stating that EAccellerator is not supported.

I had a feeling it was an EAccellerator issue. So I may as well not use EAccellerator any more. I think the other option is XCache or something, do you recommend that, or should I avoid both?

Is there a way to see the error message you talk about? I can't find it on your site:

I'm trying my best not to pester you Nicholas I really am :)

P.s. that link breaks out of the box it's within.
