XF 2.1 SOLVED: White pages after upgrading from PHP 7.1.30 to 7.2.x or 7.3.x
- Thread starter djbaxter
- Start date
I found the following lines in .htaccess added by cPanel at some point:
Once I deleted those lines, the forum runs fine on 7.2.x.
I then upgraded to 7.3.7 and everything is fine running that version as well.
Code:
# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php71” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php71 .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not editOnce I deleted those lines, the forum runs fine on 7.2.x.
I then upgraded to 7.3.7 and everything is fine running that version as well.
Hmmm... I tried upgrading PHP on another forum, same host, different dedicated server.
This time, removing those lines in .htaccess did not fix the problem.
1. Are there any other causes for blank pages in XF2.1?
2. How do I enable error reporting in config.php?

// enable error reporting
ini_set('display_errors', true);

On the second forum, after enabling errors, I am getting this:
Code:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysqli_init() in /home/{domain}/public_html/src/XF/Db/Mysqli/Adapter.php:152 Stack trace: #0 /home/{domain}/public_html/src/XF/Db/Mysqli/Adapter.php(28): XF\Db\Mysqli\Adapter->makeConnection(Array) #1 /home/{domain}/public_html/src/XF/Error.php(85): XF\Db\Mysqli\Adapter->getConnection() #2 /home/{domain}/public_html/src/XF/App.php(2189): XF\Error->logException(Object(Error), true, '') #3 /home/{domain}/public_html/src/XF.php(170): XF\App->logException(Object(Error), true) #4 [internal function]: XF::handleException(Object(Error)) #5 {main} thrown in /home/{domain}/public_html/src/XF/Db/Mysqli/Adapter.php on line 152

Code:
# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php73” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php73 .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

Your server is missing mysqli. Go to WHM > EasyApache > PHP Extensions > Install these (attached).
Yes it does if you set the version as default for the server.
But I still get white pages and the fatal error reported above for either PHP 7.2 or 7.3 whether I leave those lines in htaccess or remove them.
No errors at all on PHP 7.1
Thank you.
Looks like that was part of it. Enabled php72-php-mysqlnd and php72-php-mysqlnd.
Now with either 7.2 or 7.3 I get a different error:
Code:
Fatal error: Method XF\Widget\WidgetRenderer::__toString() must not throw an exception, caught Error: Call to undefined function XF\Mvc\iconv() in /home/{domain}/public_html/src/XF/Template/Templater.php on line 0
That was a while ago and to be honest I can't recall. I think mbstring was one. Check against the Xenforo list in the AdminCP.
But on that server, here's the PHP73 configuaration.
