7.3 -> 7.6 upgrade problem

Posted: Mon Apr 10, 2006 1:36 am

Hi all,
I have tried to upgrade my install from 7.3 to 7.6 (I then plan to migrate to RavenNuke)

Anyhow - All I get is a blank page now. Nothing at all.

I have tried index.php and admin.php and it's the same.

I uploaded all the 7.6 files, modified my config.php and ran:

7.3->7.4 Upgrade (No problems)
7.4->7.5 Upgrade (No problems)
7.5->7.6 Upgrade (No problems)

But like I said - totally blank pages !

After a little debugging (a few extra ECHO statements) the problem is here, in header.php:

Code:

if (eregi("header.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

Basically this evaluates to true and the die() function is called....

From what I've been reading about PHP, this means that header.php thinks that it is being called directly, but I'm going through index.php - it's call chain is:
index.php -> index.php(In modules/News) -> header.php

Any ideas ? Is it a server setting ?

-------

Update - it's actually the line:

Code:

if (eregi("header.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))

That's causing the problem - for some reason it doesn't like:

Code:

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])

This line causes it to bomb - I can't even echo it out.

I put in the line phpinfo(); at the top of header.php and it tells me :

_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] modules.php

Which is right - so the call to it in phpinof() works !!!

Any idea what's going on ??

Weird, I don't know why it would be a cookie issue. But glad you got it solved.
