Empty index.php with J1.7 Quickstart

I've tried to install the Quickstart files for Joomla 1.7 and I'm getting an empty index.php on the frontend.
The backend looks fine. All contents/modules/etc can be found at the expected places.

When I switch the basic template settings to another template like android instead of default, the index.php for android is shown correctly.

If I switch completely to another template like beez the frontend works fine.

I'm including the content of the index.php that I found in the template's folder with this post. For me it looks a bit corrupted. Could you please take a look at it and tell me what went wrong?

I've also downloaded the single template zip (without the Quickstart) and even there the index.php looks the same, so I can't just exchange them.

index.txt

Thanks in advance!

I've just installed the 1.5 version and it works fine.

Any idea why the 1.7 is making these problems?

Did you find a solution? I think i got the exact same problem as you.

I opened this post here:

What is your PHP version ?

5.3.6

http://194.95.66.126:8080/wiki/info.php

Even more interesting:

If I enable error logging in administration interface or via configuration.php (or even gk_postnote/index.php)

with

ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','On');

the page is not showing me any errors at all. Also the source code of the page is completly empty.
I really could need help with this because there seem to be more users experiencing this behavior of the postnote template and i really need this quick start package.

best,

Markus

I advise you to download package again and try to reinstall this template. Do you have access to server error log ?

Did you change anything at the template? Because i already tried installating the quick start package of post note on 2 different fresh servers. (Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 11.10). Same blank page on both.

These are the lines in the apache error log. Not sure if they are the reason. Its calles an error and php is calling it a notice.

Fresh Installation:
- Ubuntu 11.10
- mysql newest
- php5 newest
- system uptodate

Still blank page. No source code.

Is there no way a developer can look over this and fix it? Still not sure if the php error above cause the blank page.

And btw.

I downloaded the template another time for this fresh installation. I didnt even change the folder name

Please enable display_errors option or paste here part of your server error because without this necessary informations it is hard to solve this problem.

I've never got the Quickstart 1.7 running. But a fresh Joomla Installation with the according template worked just fine.

So I just missed the demo content but I got a working version.

My php version is PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze3
