Blank page except Copyright Info right after Installation

[p.etrus]

Hi everybody,
i'm new to EspoCRM.
I successfully installed it on my server (PHP7.3, MySQL 5.7.28). At least that's what the install tool says.
My providers says my server meets all requirements.
I did not edit the crontab yet.
After installation i get a blank grey page, only copyright information at the bottom.
Firefox Console says:

Source-Map-Fehler: Error: request failed with status 404
Ressourcen-Adresse: [URL]https://crm.perzgartler.com/client/espo.min.js?r=1586288691[/URL]
Source-Map-Adresse: purify.min.js.map

And then a large number of Errors:

Error: Could not load file 'client/res/templates/dashlet.tpl?r=1586288691'

Do you have any idea what's going on?
I hope you can help me,
cheers from Austria,

Hi, I have checked it and it looks like there are the bad permissions for the files and directories. Please read this https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...-based-systems.

Hi Maximus,
i checked the permissions and executed those chmod commands. Ownership is correct.
But nothing changed, it's the same errors as before.
Any other ideas?

[Maximus]

Well, if the permissions are good and the owner is correct then there are some restrictions on the server level. Please check an EspoCRM log file in the /data/logs directory to get the error description. Also if you have access to the server log files, check them either.

OK, i checked the /data/logs/ logfile and it says:

[2020-04-07 20:39:31] Espo.ERROR: Uncaught Exception ParseError: "syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE)" at /www/htdocs/w0181744/crm/application/Espo/ORM/Entity.php line 66 {"exception":"[object] (ParseError(code: 0): syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) at /www/htdocs/w0181744/crm/application/Espo/ORM/Entity.php:66)"} []

Maybe that's the problem?

[p.etrus]

Oh i solved that by chance:
My root directory had an old .htaccess with loads of entries from my old CMS in it.
I deleted those and voilá.
I can now login into EspoCRM!
I still have following errors in Forefox's console, but everything seems to be fine:

Source-Map-Fehler: Error: request failed with status 404

[Maximus]

I have checked and you have this file. Sometimes such sort of error may be linked to a browser cache issue. You can try to open this file manually by imputing its URL: https://crm.perzgartler.com/client/espo.min.js. After, load your EspoCRM page and check whether the error 404 disappeared.

Hi Maximus,
thanks for the hint, i still get those errors in FireFox Console. Also my admin account seems to be currupted, i do not have all the permissions i had right after installation. Half of the Menu-items on the left are missing:
Actually, i only have those items i have allowed for my only user-roles.

I tried clear_cache.php in CLI, but i get following error:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /www/htdocs/w0181744/crm/application/Espo/Core/Container.php on line 113
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /www/htdocs/w0181744/crm/application/Espo/Core/Container.php on line 113

Do you know, what went wrong?

Cheers, P

Edit: i just deleted the ? from line 113 in application/Espo/Core/Container.php, did the php clear_cache.php again and no i have all my menu items in my admin-account!

Hi p.etrus. Please put '?' sign back. I assume that you got that error because your PHP CLI version is less than 7.1. Please run this command in the console to check what is your PHP CLI version:

php -v

You mentioned that you have PHP v.7.3. But this is a web server PHP. You have to set the same PHP version for your CLI for the correct EspoCRM work.

[p.etrus]

Hi Maximus, thank you very much for your help.
I restored the ? and updated the PHP CLI version (You are right, it was on 7.0) to the same PHP version as web server (now both 7.4).
I still get the error

unreachable code after return statement  [URL="https://crm.perzgartler.com/client/espo.min.js?r=1586531918"]espo.min.js:201:12[/URL]

But to me it seems everything work just fine...

unreachable code after return statement

It is a warning, not an error. Don't worry about it.

[p.etrus]

, thanks!

Hi,

I have the similar error;

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /home/godental/crm.sscenergy.co.uk/application/Espo/Core/Container.php on line 113

And i checked the PHP version and confirm using the latest;

[godental@ukpro1 ~]$ php -v
PHP 7.4.7 (cli) (built: Jun 11 2020 11:00:03) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
[godental@ukpro1 ~]$

But still getting the error - removing the "?" helps but you mention in the earlier posts not to remove it.

Nevermind the error has stopped - i guess it took a while to pickup the php
