I'm having the strangest issue I've ever seen. I built a test server to make sure the sites on my live server will work properly with updated versions of PHP and MySQL. I duplicated the sites from the live server. When I try to load Coppermine 1.4.14, I get a blank page. The same thing happens with every php file. I tried the command line PHP5 interpreter and got no output, not even an error message. On the live server, the command line interpreter produces HTML output. That server has PHP4 live. It also has PHP5, but Apache2 is not configured to use it. With the PHP5 command line interpreter on the live server, I get proper results. The test server can run anything else. All other php files outside of the Coppermine directory work. There is no permission difference between that directory and any where everything works. Nothing shows up in logs or in PHP's output. What could be happening?

You probably don't have error reporting or error logging enabled.

That was the first thing I checked. It is enabled. PHP5 was set up in the default debugging mode. I've tried modifying that to make it report more, but it still does nothing.

Create a file with a deliberate fatal error and check that you see the error message.

That executes and returns the expected error message. The only difference between that and the other files that I can see is that in vi, the Coppermine files say noeol at the bottom. They say that on the live server where it works too, so I didn't think that was likely to have anything to do with it.

You could see if a new installation of Coppermine works. Can't really help with server setup issues.

I was considering trying to upgrade it. I'll see what the PHP forum says before I try that. I suspect a problem in PHP itself, but I thought I would try here too in case there was a problem others had seen in Coppermine. Thanks.
