Gallery version (2.3): Hello, I get a blank page when I try to load my gallery. If I reinstall the problem is solved until the next day. Please advice. |

Fixed for a day? I'm betting your host is making changes to your files at night.
Check your g2data permissions:

Permissions are all 0755 or 0644.
I think that's OK right?

Only if your web server or PHP runs as the owner of the files.
If not, then g2data needs to be 777 and all files and folders below that will be owned by the user the web server runs as and will be 755 and 644 by default, but also check file ownership and who the web server is running as.
You can check that out by following this:

I would also check the integrity of your files:

My web server runs with my username.
Also checked the integrity - all OK...

Next time you have a blank page, put Gallery into debug mode and copy and paste the output into a text file, zip it and attach to this thread.
We don't need the Smarty Debug popup window, just the output on the main screen.

The error iv'e posted on my first post was the error on my main page after iv'e put Gallery into debug mode.
"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare h7ml() (previously declared in /home4/MySite/public_html/gallery2/config.php(1) : eval()'d code:1) in /home4/MySite/public_html/gallery2/lib/adodb/adodb.inc.php(1) : eval()'d code on line 1"
I'll do that again next time I get a blank page (tomorrow i guess...)
Thank you very much!

Well, a day has past and again I get an error on the main page:
"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tuz() (previously declared in /home4/MySite/public_html/gallery2/config.php(1) : eval()'d code:1) in /home4/MySite/public_html/gallery2/lib/adodb/adodb.inc.php(1) : eval()'d code on line 1"
(It's only one line so I guess I don't have to zip it)

Your host is doing something, they have to be.
In your config.php, what is specified for the storage type? mysqlt, mysqli, etc?

$storeConfig['type'] = 'mysqli';
I have talked to my host (BlueHost) and asked for there help. They said there is nothing they are doing to change any of my files.

tuz() and h7ml()?
And it works for a day and then stops. I've seen many people running G2 just fine on BlueHost. I'm starting to think your account has been hacked and someone is changing files. Take a look at the last modified date for config.php. I'd also look at the contents of config.php
Neither tuz or h7ml are any where in G2's code and I seriously doubt they are real functions.

Now I get an error:
"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare vv5zq() (previously declared in /home4/MySite/public_html/gallery2/config.php(1) : eval()'d code:1) in /home4/MySite/public_html/gallery2/lib/adodb/adodb.inc.php(1) : eval()'d code on line 1"
I couldn't find "tuz", "h7ml" or "vv5zq" at "config.php" or at "adodb.inc.php"
Any thoughts about what I can do? I'm getting desperate...

??? Sounds viral, or spam-ish to me. Especially in the context of an eval() statement that's frequently used to obfuscate malicious code.

Do you think installing gallery from scratch will solve this problem?

Didn't you say in your first post that re-installation fixes it for a day?

I guess I wasn't clear enough. By reinstall I meant extracting the gallery files again and replacing the existing files. That solves the problem till the next day.
* I have started by installing gallery from scratch, after deleting the gallery directory and database, at the first "reinstall".

Can't hurt to try!
