Write your message below:
Was inundated by spam so decided to upgrade.
Upon upgrading from 1.41 to 1.6, I end up with a blank screen at http://www.fortsmithtourism.ca/gbook/gbook.php
I've tried the following:
All files chmod 644, except banned_ip.txt (666), entries.txt (666-changed name too). Also changed images and badwords folder to 755 but en.php to 644.
Session test 1 and 2 work and return TRUE.
I also made sure everything was loaded in ASCII and the images in Binary.
I've tried with a different folder, the program doesn't work under .../guestbook either.
After these measures, my php knowledge is tapped out.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Try removing lines from the settings.php file and see if you get any new errors then when trying to open GBook.

Hi Klemen,
Deleting the ini_set lines does not seem to produce any further results. Still the blank screen, no error messages.

Thanks,
p.

Judging from your detailed description, i don't think you did, but i have to ask it anyway.

1. Did you make changes to any other file than the settings.php file?
2. Could it be you have made a type error when changing values in the settings.php file?
Which as i might add is unlikely, because it would generate errors.

Greetings,
Henrie

Ok, thanks to your suggestion, I looked over the settings.php file VERY closely, and found that I had not changed the $settings['gbook_url']='...guestbook/gbook.php'; to the new gbook folder that I'd created. Not sure of why it didn't work initially as I used the same folder the first time, but after the second install with the correct path it works great.
Thanks so much for your patience and good advice!
