Topic: Blank screens and Internal Server Error on newly installed forum

Hello world!
I decided to create a new topic, and not to post three problems in three different existing topics.

Yesterday I have downloaded and installed latest PunBB 1.3 to server http://forum.eengine.info/
And I faced some strange problems.

1) When I go to (under admin user, of course) suggested hotfix installation page:
http://forum.eengine.info/admin/extensi … ce_removal
- I get just blank screen

2) When I try to enter extensions installation page (only bundled Repository ext is installed by default):
http://forum.eengine.info/admin/extensi … ion=manage
- I get blank screen with big black heading: "Расширения доступные для установки" (Russian for "Extensions available for install")

3) When I try to use any URL sheme other than Default and rename .htaccess.dist to .htaccess, I get "500 Internal Server Error"


Here is phpinfo for my server: http://forum.eengine.info/myasd.php

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Blank screens and Internal Server Error on newly installed forum

Problems #1 and #2 are solved by my hoster - they have enabled Tokenizer php extension.
Any ideas about #3?

I don't know if this will fix it, but try setting 'RewriteBase' to the base dir of you forum inside .htaccess (see the comment inside the file).

I've tried this variant of .htaccess:

# BEGIN PunBB

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# MultiViews interfers with proper rewriting
Options -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

# Uncomment and properly set the RewriteBase if the rewrite rules are not working properly
#RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . rewrite.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END PunBB

...and that (uncommenting line with RewriteBase):

# BEGIN PunBB

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# MultiViews interfers with proper rewriting
Options -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

# Uncomment and properly set the RewriteBase if the rewrite rules are not working properly
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . rewrite.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END PunBB

Both variants cause 500 Internal Server Error
