For days now I've been trying to overcome a Drupal 7 problem that I cannot explain. Over the past year or two I have followed the same method for creating a copy of our live site to my Fedora 16 pc but as of 4 weeks ago, problems.
The Process: -Copy of our live site database as a .sql file made by mysqldump thatdatabase > this file.sql. It has always for me provided a perfect copy of the database. -Zip the whole web site using cPanel. -Download both to my Fedora 16 installation. -Unzip the drupal system to /var/www/html/ -mysql -uuser -ppassword create database (thatdatabase) same name user and password as the original. -mysql -uuser -ppassword thatdatabase < thisfile.sql -Change settings.php a+w then remove the 15 lines in /sites/default/settings.php which access the database. -Start the installation and enter the database name username and password. Drupal copy fires up perfectly every time. ---- But ------ <structure><Content Types><Add content> gives WSOD, defaults to the stark theme with no options. Views, Add Taxonomy, Add content, Rules, Permissions, Appearance, configurations, and others all work,
I have done the following: cleared caches, drush cc all, in myslq TRUNCATE cache and TRUNCATEd other cache files as per torials on google. I have googled and found several others have the same problem but no one offers working solution.
http://localhost/mysite/admin/structure/types/add produces error:
You are hereHome http://localhost/eal719/ » Administration http://localhost/eal719/admin » Structure http://localhost/eal719/admin/structure » Content types http://localhost/eal719/admin/structure/types
Content types
Add to /Default/ shortcuts < http://localhost/eal719/admin/config/user-interface/shortcut/shortcut-set-1/...
Individual content types can have different fields, behaviors, and permissions assigned to them.
Does anyone know what causes such a problem, what I should look out for to prevent future problems and best of all how to kill the problem once and for all.
Help greatly appreciated Thanks in advance Roger
