Orca Forum not working...

My Orca Forum is not working. If you go to www.av-techonline.com/forums you get a blank page.

I have just installed the Anatoa 'befriend' mod and that works well. I do not know if that caused the problem or not. I doubt it.

Any ideas??

Stuart

You mean www.av-techonline.com/orca     ..... don't you?

Hi houstonlively, on the ball as usual hey!!

Yes your right. If you go to the 'Forum' item on the menu (which is what I really meant :-) ) you will see what I mean!

Stuart

Just out of curiosity, what is the size of your av-techonline.com/orca/index.php file

Orca index.php is 10,452. same as my backup copy.

Hi Stuart,

Please check your server's error log - there should hopefully be an entry in it when the blank forum page is generated.

Cheers

Anatoa

My Orca error log; the last entry was Nov 28th, 2008. It has been working perfectly up until now. So that would appear not to be the problem.

Stuart

Just to be clear, assuming you are running Apache, by "Orca error log" you mean your apache error log for the av-techonline.com domain, right?

Ok, I was being a bit dense there...

This is the error log report:

[10-Jan-2009 01:40:12] PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare BxDolPageView::getBlockCode_Eval() in /home/avtech/public_html/inc/classes/BxDolPageView.php on line 407

There isn't a line 407...

Stuart

OK so no recent error there. What I would do in this case is make a backup of orca/index.php and then do some old fashion debugging to see how far into the file it gets by putting lines with

error_log("1",0);

error_log("2",0);

error_log("3",0);

etc throughout the file to see how far it gets... (you can see the corresponding "1", "2" etc in the error log).

Orca Forums are now working. I had to re-install  from a previous backup. I don't know what the problem was. I think a file must have got corrupted on the server.
