The Joomla! Forum ™

I've just installed the Joomla 1.0.1 and almost everything went fine (my session.save_path was not writeable).

I've fixed the session.save_path issue by creating a writeable tmp directory in my web-root and adding the following line to some files (e.g. index.php, globals.php):
session_save_path("/customers//tmp");

Everything works fine except when I go to the Global Configuration page which gives me a blank page (really blank! In essens only the  tags)

What could be wrong?

My web-hotel runs Apache, PHP 4.4.0 (in safe mode) and MySQL server

I'm an ASP/ASP.NET guy so that would probably make me a rookie in this world 

If you look in the root of your installation, is there a configuration.php? Which rights does this file have, if it exists? This is the file the Global Configuration reads for its values.

Take care

The file is there and has read/write rights for the owner and read rights for both group and public (644). I have tried chmod'ing it to 777 to no avail.

Other ideas?

The problem seems to have disappeared in Joomla! version 1.0.2.

Good to hear, my options were finished already.

i Had the same problem my fix Was

you have to go to the admin back panel and enable "error reporting" to "Maximum", but since you can't access the back panel, here is how to enable it
1) Go to your site root directory
2) find the file that is named "configuration.php"
3) Open it with any text editor (notepad)
4) Find the line that says "var $error_reporting = '-1';"
*Here, the Joomla default is -1 if you have not touched this setting at all.
5) What you need to do is change "-1" to "6143", so it would look like this:
var $error_reporting = '6143';

if you still can see errors try this
put the following code at the END of the configuration.php file BEFORE the closing ?>

ini_set( 'display_errors', true ); error_reporting( E_ALL );

which there i had problems with the 2 component plugins jd downloads and Hit Sniffer Live Stats
so i unistalled them both and delete all connected plugins and mods from phpmyadmin db

Problems solved for me hope this helps out a bit guys and thanks to the guys on forums like this that help and have progress me from noobe to amatuer lol god bless you all

Important::: someone said rename configuration.php dont!!! and yes you can use configuration.php from another site just need to change

public $dbprefix = 'to what your DB prefix is here';
public $secret = 'to what your secret was here is here';
