I have this problem as well, although mine is not quite as big of a problem as yours, mine works a little bit :)

If you go to http://www.traveler.se/gallery/the_journey you should get a blank page. I only have this problem in Internet Explorer, but haven´t tried that much in mozilla yet...

The blank page consists of:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

so obviously something is coming... but not very much =)
I can see that it gets the included php-files in my access-log, but that´s it... not the images in the php-files, and nothing else...

The thing that makes it extra fun is that if you just hit refresh ones, it works just fine. Until you restart the browser and go back (you might have to clear the cache as well), then it´s blank again. So very weird :)

I´ve had this problem for a while, it was like that even before I crammed it into my movable type blog interface, so that should not be the problem.

I´m running:
FreeBSD 4.7
Apache 2.0.47
PHP 4.3.2
Gallery v1.3.4-pl1

Oh yeah, there´s nothing showing up in the error log

Joan:

And it seems to work just fine in Mozilla Firebird and Opera 7 as well.
But I´ve tried it on 3 different machines with IE, and there it does not work, I get the empty page, but after a refresh I get the page... very weird. Anyone with a clue on what I´m doing wrong?

Hmm, this works in IE too. I don't see any problems. Sorry for the confusion.

Hmm, ok... what version of IE are you running? I'm using 6.0.whatever at this machine, the others I tried it on and had the same problem, I don't know... they are at work.

If you close start a new Internet explorer "session", clear your cache, and go to http://www.traveler.se/mt/ and click on Photo gallery, does it still work right away for you? Like I said, every time I go there without the page cached, I have to refresh the page once. It's the same on three different machines, so I have a hard time believing it's specific for my workstation.

I just can't figure out where the

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

part is coming from. Doesn't seem like gallery, nor movable type has those strings anywhere, so... where is that output coming from!? :)

The funny thing is that the other guy with a similiar problem as mine (in the thread that my problem was split from, http://www.shonto.bia.edu), I get the exact same output, when I check the source in IE. The question is really if that is something IE just chooses to spit out when it fscks up, or if it's something gallery comes up with...

Hrm, ok... that's (I might have used this word once or twice already, but it's the best one I can come up with... =) weird

Trying to find some information on the web (not that easy to search for though), and the output is from IE

see: http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/imc-sf-coders/2002-September/000320.html

According to them, it's some kind of security setting problem, but I tried setting it to the lowest in my IE, and that didn't help either. I'm slowly going nuts here :)

I'm back again, this time a bit happier... I've found a "solution" to the problem.

since I'm running a fairly new version of PHP, I had to add the register_globals = Off to php.ini

Wether or not I had the:

session.bug_compat_42 = 1
session.bug_compat_warn = 1

part in my php.ini, it didn't work... but I removed the bug_compat lines and changed register_globals to On, and now it works all the time in IE as well. Hooray! :o)

I'm not to fond about the idea to have it set to On though, any thoughts on how I can fix this problem with register_globals set to Off?

You can use an alternate, you can set registered_globals for a specific VirtualHost within your server httpd.conf file, simply add the following to the VirtualHost directive for the domain;

- php_admin_value register_globals On
