I’ve uploaded the completed website to the client’s website and Armadillo isn’t loading. All I see is a blank page.
I followed the instructions for when you see a blank page and that didn’t change a thing.
Suggestions?
I can see everything else on the website just fine.
Can you use an Armadillo Blog as the first page on a website? That’s where mine is right now. I could place it second and have tried it there, but it doesn’t make any difference. I see a blank page.
I got the page uploaded after several tweaks of certain things required by the hosting company; using the IP address instead of “localhost” for the DB Host.
I discovered that the side bar code was somehow not functioning right. I deleted it and dragged over the snippet again and told RW to ignore formatting.
However, now I see this odd thin white line below the page. It’s only on the blog page.
I now have a semi functional page but can only show new pages and the blog entries don’t appear at all. This is on a new page in a new project so only using the latest stacks available. I have sent a email to their support and they are looking at it so will see if it is me or not soon.
Hi, after updating the Armadillo page, you might want to check all the things on the server. Go in there with an FTP client and check out the rights and the ownership/groups of the files. Try to change the rights for example to 777 (unsecure!) and check if the blog works. If it is working, try to reduce the rights, until the level the blog isn’t working anymore. In my case, i had to give 775 to get it working.
I was able to access the server with SSH too, so i could change the group some of the files belonged to. This helped too. But not all hosting providers offer shell access.
Did you perform the updates, after logging in into the backend of Armadillo?
I messed around in the server with Armadillo using CyberDuck when the problems first arose. I changed the rights from 644(?) to 755 (?). And thought that solved my problem. It didn’t. I’m thinking of changing that back to the original number. It was the issue with the sidebar. After fixing it, my blog page uploaded fine.
The only remaining issue is the extra lines on the pages.
Sorry you ran into this issue @Scribe. Just to clarify, to make sure I understand correctly, the problem was using an older version of the sidebar snippet with v1.7+ of Armadillo, correct?
For this website, I never used the older version of Armadillo’s sidebar snippet.
When I told RW to “ignore formatting” it didn’t work because the snippet code was not properly highlighted. That was my gut feeling. So I just deleted the snippet code and started fresh. Afterward Armadillo loaded just fine.
