The instructions are a bit unclear for new users. You may have forgotten to go to the nntp_groups table with phpMyAdmin and say Insert. There you have to insert your newsgroup settings.

Like this:

and this:

are both of those database entries right?

Yeah it looks fine.

Try adding the folowing line near the top of gateway.php (after the <?php ):
error_reporting (63);

This will turn on all error reporting and it may give us something to go on.

urm same as before a blank screen

can one of you try: www.wocs.net/gateway.php ?


and I have this in the gateway.php

<?php
error_reporting (63);

ahh now its just using hte progress bar, and its slowly so slowly moving across the status bar, yet its a white screen still.

I use phpstats to view the server stats on my webhost and it seems the ram usage is going up tho, so something is running. I think.

phpSysInfo 2.0 even

nope its not doing anything, again a white screen and bugger all is posted

if you goto www.wocs.net you will see the two test forums for the newgroups stuff in place both with 0 posts also :|


nah the gateway.php screen has locked with the status progress bar at 50% and it staying there.

ahh now I just refreshed it
and it says this:

BTW: I removed the pear.php from my webspace, do I need that on the server for this to run?

Sanjiyan, I added an output in the gateway.php that just outputs the number of newsgroups that are being gatewayed. That's in the first post. Try that one and let's see if it even gets that far in the script before dieing.
