Another fix for blank screen

    I tried installing SVNManager today again, after having had problems with some earlier releases (mostly due to not being able to go php5).

    I only got a blank screen when accessing my SVNManager URL but nowhere did I see an errors or warnings, especially not about that recent pass-by-reference bug of Prado.

    To make SVNManager work, I changed the protocol of the DSN in config.php from mysqli to just mysql. Maybe this breaks things somewhere inside SVNManager, but it seems to be working fine. I hope this will help some people.

    For the record, I'm running Debian testing with Apache/2.0.55, DAV/2, SVN/1.3.2, PHP/5.1.4-0.1 and MySQL 5.0.22.

    Regards,
    phil

      Hi Philip,

      Thanks for your fix, here follows a small explanation.

      PHP comes with two modules that can access mysql databases: mysql and mysqli. The latter is the newest. Both can be used by adbodb and therefore also by SVNManager.

      The blank screen can indeed be caused by a failure connecting to the database.

      Kind regards,
      Marijn
