Hi nims,

when a person clicks on activation link in the mail, he should get a message saying

I think this assumes the person gets an email. What if the person already has an account? In my installation, for example, I have people login with a SSO system, so new accounts are created automatically and consequently they don’t get a verification email for their address. With that in mind, my users do not see the confirmation message you described.

Is this email standard WordPress functionality or part of a different plugin?

Also, once admin approves the site, user should get an email telling that your site is active now.

I created a seperate small plugin (if you can even call it a plugin!) to send an email like this. Basically I just created a function that sends an email and applies it to the activate_blog action.

It could be a nice feature to have built-in, but it can be separate.

Thanks for updating it, David. -Ian

Hi Nims,

Okay, here you go: https://pastebin.com/GaKW3ZPX

Hi,

I’m not sure what “something funky” would be. I believe it was the standard PHP tarball from php.net. I’d be happy to send you the source files for our copy of PHP 5.2.5 if you’d like.

Also, keep in mind our installation of PHP 5.2.5 worked fine for WordPress Mu 2.8 through WordPress 3.1.3.

If other instances of WordPress do work with 5.2.5 maybe there is an option with the 5.2.5 install that I didn’t do that comes with 5.3.6 by default.

Anyways, I’m all set for now. Thanks

Link for the incorrect documentation?

https://www.ads-software.com/about/requirements/

This claims it will work with PHP 5.2.4 unless I’m reading it incorrectly. I was running 5.2.5 and it did not work. I upgraded PHP to 5.3.6 and it works.

Regards.

Hi,

If anyone wants to see my ramblings in the other forum you can find it here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/upgrading-to-321-blank-pages-header-errors-etc-10-posts

This actually was not a Multisite issue. I tried a new regular installation and was still seeing the blank page errors. Ends up that the WordPress documentation is out of date regarding the required version of PHP. I upgraded PHP and it works!

Regards.

It works! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I guess the WordPress documentation should note the new requirements for PHP version.

Thanks.

Scratch that previous message. I think I must have not restarted apache after upgrading PHP — oops!

A fresh install works now with the upgraded PHP.

I’ll see if I can upgrade my previous installation next…

Stay tuned!

Hi,

I got distracted with other things, but I’m back!

As you may recall I was running PHP version 5.2.5. I just upgraded to PHP 5.3.6.

To keep things simple I’m trying a fresh install. If I purposefully put in incorrect DB info on setup-config.php (in Web browser) I get an appropriate error message. If I put in the right information though, it takes me to a blank setup-config.php page.

Apache error log says:
[Tue Aug 30 14:14:07 2011] [notice] child pid 19478 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Any suggestions???

Thanks.

I then tried upgrading my 3.1.3 instance to 3.1.4, but it’s not accepting my login credentials for some reason.

I was able to login. Must be a session/cache type issue.

But, then I did a manual install from 3.2.1 and it’s back to the blank wp-admin pages…

Hmm………

Here’s something interesting.

If I do a fresh install of 3.1.4 then upgrade to 3.2.1 it works fine.

I then tried upgrading my 3.1.3 instance to 3.1.4, but it’s not accepting my login credentials for some reason. If I can get that working, I’m wondering if it will upgrade to 3.2.1.

Are you aware of 3.1.4 being a requirement to upgrade from (versus 3.1.3 or a fresh install of the latest)??

Thanks again.

Hi again,

I tried a completely fresh install with a completely new database.

I get to the the new setup page which takes me to /wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=1. When I fill in the details and click submit (which is an action to /wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=2) it prompts me to download a blank setup-config.php file.

Somewhat interestingly if I type in the wrong db credentials in /wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=1 it will take me to /wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=2 where I can see the normal error message.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi,

I normally manually upgrade. I also tried the automatic upgrade though.

Could be a database issue, especially with all these attempts!

This is a test instance so I’m not too concerned even about losing my data, but I’ll want to make sure I can upgrade before I attempt on my real/prod instance.

Thanks.

As you can’t get to the wp-admin page, how did you switch to twenty eleven?

I reverted back to 3.1.3, changed the template, then re-upgraded to 3.2.1.

Haven’t seen that error since 2.8

Any idea how it was solved then?

Thanks again.
