Hi, n0fear2 and anyone having the "blank page" problem...
I hope that's not a "wicked bug" appearing randomly and that concerns everyone,
but instead a bug appearing only for specific php versions.
There's too much similar bugs reported on
http://bugs.php.net/ , so I couldn't find
which one could exactly match this one.
I think I have a solution ... (In fact someone sent me by mail the trick) . BUT be aware that this solution is not
perfect and that it has at least a small drawback (if you don't discover others).
At the begining of your joomla.inc.php script just add:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ERROR); //avoid any warning concerning headers
echo " "; //output a white space, will kill all following headers. Also cookies unfortunately
?>
What the fix does ? It allows to discard any headers sent by joomla.
Unfortunately, joomla won't be able also to write any cookie.
Despites this, you are still able to connect ...
Why ? Because the login form redirect you to the index.php file of Joomla which will be able to create
the cookie. The joomla's index.php page will itself redirect you to the gallery page.
Now here's a small "bug" you'll observe with this fix :
Copy the direct url to your gallery in your "url bar".
Clean all your cookies.
Close your browser.
Re-open you browser.
Now paste the direct url to your gallery in the url bar.
Try to login.
The first attempt will fail. (not the second)
Why ? because joomla needs to create a first "test cookie"
before allowing the user to login.
That's not possible if you go directely to your gallery page.
However you won't notice any problem if you visit any
page of your website before.
I'm not aware of any Joomla's module requiring cookies
to work, but if that's the case you'll also have a problem.

PS: I didn't recieved any mail from n0fear2. I always check my junk mail.
Is it the fault of my hotmail inbox ?
