Snelle diagnose

Stap 1: Schakel PHP-foutweergave in

Tijdelijk toevoegen aan mainfile.php:

<?php
// Add at the very top, after <?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors', '1');

Stap 2: Controleer het PHP-foutenlogboek

# Common log locations
tail -100 /var/log/php/error.log
tail -100 /var/log/apache2/error.log
tail -100 /var/log/nginx/error.log

# Or check PHP info for log location
php -i | grep error_log

Stap 3: Schakel XOOPS-foutopsporing in

// In mainfile.php
define('XOOPS_DEBUG_LEVEL', 2);

Veel voorkomende oorzaken en oplossingen

pie title WSOD Common Causes
    "Memory Limit" : 25
    "PHP Syntax Error" : 20
    "Missing Files" : 15
    "Database Issues" : 15
    "Permissions" : 10
    "Template Errors" : 10
    "Timeout" : 5

1. Geheugenlimiet overschreden

Symptomen:

• Blanco pagina bij grote operaties
• Werkt voor kleine gegevens, mislukt voor grote gegevens

Fout:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted

Oplossingen:

// In mainfile.php
ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');

// Or in .htaccess
php_value memory_limit 256M

// Or in php.ini
memory_limit = 256M

2. Syntaxisfout PHP

Symptomen:

• WSOD na het bewerken van het PHP-bestand
• Specifieke pagina mislukt, andere werken

Fout:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /path/file.php on line 123

Oplossingen:

# Check file for syntax errors
php -l /path/to/file.php

# Check all PHP files in module
find modules/mymodule -name "*.php" -exec php -l {} \;

3. Vereist bestand ontbreekt

Symptomen:

• WSOD na upload/migratie
• Willekeurige pagina’s mislukken

Fout:

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'class/Helper.php'

Oplossingen:

# Re-upload missing files
# Compare against fresh installation
diff -r /path/to/xoops /path/to/fresh-xoops

# Check file permissions
ls -la class/

4. Databaseverbinding mislukt

Symptomen:

• Op alle pagina’s wordt WSOD weergegeven
• Statische bestanden (afbeeldingen, CSS) werken

Fout:

Warning: mysqli_connect(): Access denied for user

Oplossingen:

// Verify credentials in mainfile.php
define('XOOPS_DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('XOOPS_DB_USER', 'your_user');
define('XOOPS_DB_PASS', 'your_password');
define('XOOPS_DB_NAME', 'your_database');

// Test connection manually
<?php
$conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'user', 'pass', 'database');
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully";

5. Toestemmingsproblemen

Symptomen:

• WSOD bij het schrijven van bestanden
• Cache-/compileerfouten

Oplossingen:

# Fix directory permissions
chmod -R 755 htdocs/
chmod -R 777 xoops_data/
chmod -R 777 uploads/

# Fix ownership
chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/xoops

6. Smarty-sjabloonfout

Symptomen:

• WSOD op specifieke pagina’s
• Werkt na het wissen van de cache

Oplossingen:

# Clear Smarty cache
rm -rf xoops_data/caches/smarty_cache/*
rm -rf xoops_data/caches/smarty_compile/*

# Check template syntax

7. Maximale uitvoeringstijd

Symptomen:

• WSOD na ~30 seconden
• Lange operaties mislukken

Fout:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

Oplossingen:

// In mainfile.php
set_time_limit(300);

// Or in .htaccess
php_value max_execution_time 300

Foutopsporingsscript

Maak debug.php aan in de XOOPS-hoofdmap:

<?php
/**
 * XOOPS Debug Script
 * Delete after troubleshooting!
 */

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

echo "<h1>XOOPS Debug</h1>";

// Check PHP version
echo "<h2>PHP Version</h2>";
echo "PHP " . PHP_VERSION . "<br>";

// Check required extensions
echo "<h2>Required Extensions</h2>";
$required = ['mysqli', 'gd', 'curl', 'json', 'mbstring'];
foreach ($required as $ext) {
    $status = extension_loaded($ext) ? '✓' : '✗';
    echo "$status $ext<br>";
}

// Check file permissions
echo "<h2>Directory Permissions</h2>";
$dirs = [
    'xoops_data' => 'xoops_data',

    'cache' => 'xoops_data/caches'

foreach ($dirs as $name => $path) {
    $writable = is_writable($path) ? '✓ Writable' : '✗ Not writable';
    echo "$name: $writable<br>";
}

// Test database connection
echo "<h2>Database Connection</h2>";
if (file_exists('mainfile.php')) {
    // Extract credentials (simple regex, not production safe)
    $mainfile = file_get_contents('mainfile.php');
    preg_match("/XOOPS_DB_HOST.*'(.+?)'/", $mainfile, $host);
    preg_match("/XOOPS_DB_USER.*'(.+?)'/", $mainfile, $user);
    preg_match("/XOOPS_DB_PASS.*'(.+?)'/", $mainfile, $pass);
    preg_match("/XOOPS_DB_NAME.*'(.+?)'/", $mainfile, $name);

    if (!empty($host[1])) {
        $conn = @new mysqli($host[1], $user[1], $pass[1], $name[1]);
        if ($conn->connect_error) {
            echo "✗ Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error;
        } else {
            echo "✓ Connected to database";
            $conn->close();
        }
    }
} else {
    echo "mainfile.php not found";
}

// Memory info
echo "<h2>Memory</h2>";
echo "Memory Limit: " . ini_get('memory_limit') . "<br>";
echo "Current Usage: " . round(memory_get_usage() / 1024 / 1024, 2) . " MB<br>";

// Check error log location
echo "<h2>Error Log</h2>";

Preventie

graph LR
    A[Backup Before Changes] --> E[Stable Site]
    B[Test in Development] --> E
    C[Monitor Error Logs] --> E
    D[Use Version Control] --> E

1. Maak altijd een back-up voordat u wijzigingen aanbrengt
2. Test lokaal voordat u het implementeert
3. Controleer de foutenlogboeken regelmatig
4. Gebruik git voor het bijhouden van wijzigingen
5. Houd PHP up-to-date binnen ondersteunde versies
