No Homepage in my 6.0

Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2003 7:54 am

My 6.0 is up and running, but I am getting a message on my index.php page that says
"There is a big problem here: we do not have a Homepage!!!

[ Add a Module in your Home ] "

The funny thing is that I did select "News" to Put in Home. I did notice that it did not become BOLD like it should. What's up?
Thanks

Have you looked in your server error log and/or your php log to see if it is throwing an error?

In the field there, add News

I had the same problem in my PHP nuke 6.5 . I did what ArtificialIntel had suggested but the same error keep appearing. Any suggestion why?

Guest

open your phpadmin, and query:

Code:

INSERT INTO nuke_main VALUES ( 'News');

if your prefix is not "nuke", replace the "nuke" in "nuke_main" with your prefix.

Hi all,

in my case it was not a database error. The error was based on php version and apache.
I hade to add realpath() after using the php method file_exists(). Evil or Very Mad

I quote a comment I found on the PHP.net:
http://se2.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php

"webmaster at NOSPAM onlinegs dot com
31-May-2003 01:24

To work with file_exists under Windows XP and Apache2 (PHP Build 4.3.1, havn't had a chance to upgrade yet, and its only a development enviroment). I have had to use realpath() to report the full path of the file.
For Example:
file_exists(realpath('file.ext'));

where file.ext is the file with the extension, in this case it is assumed that the file is in the same directory as the script calling the function, others have posted how to use directories. Also note that single quotes (') must be used or else php will interpret it as fileext instead of file.ext."

Good luck!

Wonderful news! Definitely a known problem, but not always visible. The other work-around to this issue is to add a '@' in front of all the file_exists() calls. There are something like 3 scripts and 8 or nine calls.

I will add that I have never had this problem and I have been using Apache2 under XP for quite some time. That's why it's so darn hard to debug these things Mad
