empty phpmyadmin page

musicmouse · Post by **musicmouse** » Thu Feb 25, 2016 1:17 pm

I am setting up my first VPS at DigitalOcean and chose for Ubuntu 15.10 and VestaCP.
Installing Vesta I made a mistake by installing Vesta as root user and then switching to a sudo user. That gave rights problems in FTP that I solved with the chown -R command for the /var /etc and /home directories.

I have no problem accessing Vesta. However, when I access phpmyadmin (either with the ip address or the domain name) I get an empty screen.

Looking in the error log I found the following (every screen refresh gives these three messages with my ip address and domain name):

[Thu Feb 25 07:54:15.014290 2016] [core:alert] [pid 2962] [client 12.34.56.78:45506] /var/www/html/.htaccess: <IfModule not allowed here
[Thu Feb 25 07:54:15.025205 2016] [core:alert] [pid 16296] [client 12.34.56.78:45508] /var/www/html/.htaccess: <IfModule not allowed here
[Thu Feb 25 07:54:15.412808 2016] [core:alert] [pid 16304] [client 12.34.56.78:45510] /var/www/html/.htaccess: <IfModule not allowed here, referer: http://www.mydomain.com/

Can someone advise me what is going wrong here?

Update: I removed the .htaccess file and that ended the error messages.

However, the phpmyadmin page stays empty.

Edit: I looked in the source code of the empty page and there is a lot of code - including a login form.

If you really have permission problems due the user switch, I think it's better to re-install your server again.

Deleting the .htaccess can break PHPMyAdmin. If it wasn't needed, it wasn't there.

Some further investigation delivered that this white page is caused by the following code in the header:

Code: Select all

<style id="cfs-style">html{display: none;}</style>

However, searching on this delivers a bug from 2014. So I am puzzled why I am experiencing this problem in 2016.

I got the same problem after changing display_errors to On in php.ini .

Change back to "off" and solved.

Code: Select all

display_errors=On //Phpmyadmin blank
display_errors=Off //Phpmyadmin ok

Why? I don't know.

(Sorry for my english)
