Hide Forgot
Description of problem: When I try to launch Beacon using Firefox under F15, I am presented with a blank webpage. Both httpd and mysqld are running. I am not sure if this is related to bz#702569 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): beacon-0.5-4.fc15.noarch httpd-2.2.17-10.fc15.1.x86_64 mysql-5.5.10-2.fc15.x86_64 firefox-4.0.1-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/init.d/httpd start 2. /etc/init.d/mysqld start 3. Launch Firefox and go to http://localhost/beacon/php/ Actual results: Blank page. Expected results: Either Beacon or a relevant error message. Additional info: Nothing in httpd error_log
NOTE: I followed the instructions Josh Wulf added as Comment 4 on bz#702569 and nothing happened. I still just get a blank page. :-(
Try launching it in Google Chrome, which provides more detailed debugging information. Are you getting and HTTP 500 response from the server? (Firefox hides it from the user)
Thanks for the tip, Josh. I installed Chrome and it is, indeed, a HTTP 500 response error.
Do you have php and php-mysql installed?
php-mysql was not installed. If it is required by Beacon, it needs to be made a dependency so that it is pulled down automatically by the "yum install beacon" command. Unfortunately, I still encounter the error now that it is installed.
Please install beacon from the new RPM attached with bz#702569 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=498208.) Verified on a fresh installation of F15. Please let me know if the error still persists. Or we could close this bug.
Confirmed on IRC that it worked. Closing bug.
