Misread of My PHP Installation

    Hi,

    I am unable to install this plug-in successfully, and this appears to be because it is misreading my PHP installation. Your plug-in seems to think my PHP is installed as mod_php5, but it is actually installed as libphp5. As such, the mod-rewrite rules completely break my site. If I change the rules to say libphp5, my site works again, but NinjaFirewall’s install keeps going back to the first step after testing (I’m guessing this is because it needs to install its own php.ini but isn’t).

    Also, should .htninja be one folder above the web site root, or one folder above the WordPress install root? (My WordPress is installed in a subfolder.)

    Regards,
    Lee

    Apache definitely is logging errors (I have it set to show notices too). I’ll try again and check out the response in the access log tomorrow.

    It’s a 200 response, so I guess it must be a PHP error. And yet I’m not getting any errors reported no matter what I do. What could make PHP produce a white screen without any errors being logged?

    The PHP error log must be turned off.
    Could you upload and run a phpinfo script to your blog and check the following directives and their values (both local and master):

    display_errors
error_log

    Display errors is currently set to off (obviously recommended on production sites) and the error log is set to on (to the syslog). So you’re saying I should reverse these settings to catch the error?

    If you do want me to display errors, is it possible to do this for one site only, rather than server wide?

    I think you will need to do it a the server level as it seems not to be working at the site level. But you can enable it for the test only, that should not take longer than a couple of minutes and it is not a problem.
    You will also need I think to restart Apache after the changes.

    Okay, I tried it – still just a white screen! I really don’t know what to do now.

    That is weird.
    Could you ask you host for some help about that? You may have a specific server configuration or restrictions?
