SEO

We are getting a problem where we get a blank page every now and then after posting. It does this with only a few words and is not large amounts of text.

I have heard it may be to do with the php memory limit, we are hosted with hostgator and they of course dont allow very much memory with their shared hosting plans.

Can someone please help us with this, thank you.

This is a thread we posted in and got the blank page.

The last tv show you watched? - Page 6 - Ultimate Teen Forums

I would like to add that the post actually gets posted but it does not redirect you after posting if you get what I mean. It has only happened about 4 or 5 times in total at random.

Thanks again.

yup, most likely a php memory_limit setting.

I'd suggest a new host. Nothing but horror stories from hostgator. i made a few suggestions (link in sig) for hosts.

You can add the following line to top of your .htaccess and try if it works

I got an internal server error when I added the line given to the top of .htaccess unfortunately.

same here interneal error. HG is capped at 64mb on shared hosting.

In that condition you are not allowed to use these kind of rules in your .htaccess

You may also try to add the following to config.php to override php.ini memory_limit. Add the following just after <?php line

I have added it and it hasnt gave an error at all so I am guessing it may be working. I will report back if anything goes wrong. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do too

Thanks very much

You can check inside of your admincp to see if it is taking the new value of the memory limit

It has in my info.php so it seems all good.

memory_limit 6710886464 M

Lets hope I don't get any other errors Thank you for helping guys Keep up the great work!

memory_limit 6710886464 M

Sorry to double post but it is still giving the white page when submitting posts now and then.

Is changing the host from shared to dedicated the only option left to get rid of this error?

I dont particularly want to shift so early as we dont really have as many members as most would who use dedicated and other than this white page fault all is good.

Can you check your errro log to see if you have any error details as the problem may be even caused by an installed modification.

I am relieved to hear this... I am getting blank pages too - this is happening on my board for just one word that I am aware of .... 'tank' - put this in the title of the thread you are posting and it bombs out to blank page on submit or preview.

This one is driving me nuts!

I should also state that I raised php memory limit from 16m to 128m per Want to clarify a blank page issue

This did not resolve my blank page issue when posting with the word 'tank' in the title.

Then maybe your pğroblem is not related to vBSEO at all. Even a bad placed advertisement code can cause black page issues. You may want to carefully check all the add codes you use on your site. Especially the ones on postbit and showthread pages.

hrm, is 'tank' a special word? this might be related to mod_Security.

I highly recommend rebuilding apache wihtout mod_Security if you are running it.

try adding


SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off


to the top of your htaccess file
