Number 3 is the only trick I know enough about to suggest, but I do know what type of info might help smart people figure this one out.

What's your php and mysql versions? Smart people like to know more than that, but that sounds like a good beginning. They like stuff like libraries and magics and stuff that has it's own little version number inside php, and they like to know weird little details about database configurations, but all I know is to ask the version of the big-ticket items.

Here is all the techstuff I can find :roll:
PHP5/ PHP 2.64-pl2
Apache 2.0.x
MySQL 5.0.38
And see attachment!
HOpe it is enough, because my knowledge stops here... :lol:

Hi Erica,

You did a good job by excluding some of the trivial errors. Let's dug a little deeper.
I have this funny feeling something went wrong during the database setup. Was your 1.10 version setup from scratch or an upgrade?
Try looking for the MySQL error logs. I found:

By default, all log files are created in the mysqld data directory.

You can try the following:
1) make a backup from the database (through cPanel or phpMyAdmin or IIS)
2) run blogs/install/install.php and choose the upgrade option. I am not sure what it does now. It checks a database version number. This will be the same as the one it is trying to install. Hopefully it now checks the database itself, if not it skips this step and you have not gained anything. If so (and you feel confident) you could delete the database, create a new one and restore the backup.

Good luck

This is tricky stuff!
I have never made a backup of my sql database and all the other stuff you ask me to do... :-/
I hope my hard work filling my blog won't be for nothing... :roll:
I will ask my provider how to do this. After that I will get back to you.
By the way, I found an error message. It says:
Extra options for working with linked tables are disabled, read here why:
PMA Database ... Not good
Basic relation options disabled.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] string
The name of the database containing the linked-tables infrastructure.

See the Linked-tables infrastructure section in this document to see the benefits of this infrastructure, and for a quick way of creating this database and the needed tables.

If you are the only user of this phpMyAdmin installation, you can use your current database to store those special tables; in this case, just put your current database name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb']. For a multi-user installation, set this parameter to the name of your central database containing the linked-tables infrastructure.

Really beats me what to do next!! 8|

I have a new idea. It might be a plugin and perhaps a plugin calling the database. You might check this by disabling all plugins and do some random posts in expert mode. Try to generate the error. If you do not get the error, try enabling the plugins one by one etc.

Good luck

When I choose the plugin screen...
It's blank?! :?:
Should I download the directory again?
I see via my ftp de directory is full of nice stuff...but I can't see it in backoffice...
weird!

And the same with the tab files...nothing there..

Now were getting somewhere.

Try a new upload of a fresh download for all the files. Take the first few steps from http://manual.b2evolution.net/Upgrade_from_an_older_version until running install.php
It's just like what you did for the /blogs/inc/ folder, but now for the complete setup.
Remember: there is information about your setup in /blogs/conf/_basic_conf.php and you probably have edited skins you want to keep. You can safely upload these old files after your done with the new ones.

Good luck

You just won't believe it!
I downloaded the Dutch translation and installed it a few days ago.
So I disabled it and tried to save an expert made post...en guess what!?
I can save in expert mode again :D .
I tried it a few times and it still works. Let's hope it stays that way.
I keep you all posted.

For now thanks voor all you input!! ;D

Hm, I wouldn't have come up with this solution ;)
Old translations are supposed to be compatible with newer versions of B2evo.

Do I report this as a bug, or is it ok like this?

(Cool - a smart person came along so I'm off the hook ;) )

Don't worry about the bug report: you're covered on that one. I've no idea how or when it'll be fixed, but someone will.

One more thing, if you don't mind: would you be willing to download a couple of different languages and see if you have a problem with expert mode using them? The idea here is we would know if it's the Dutch translation or translating in general that is causing this.

Also I'm confused by you seeing a blank plugins tab. That is a symptom of the memory limit problem so I would have to ask if you know that your memory limit went up when you told it to. It could be that host doesn't allow that to happen and that really "translations make things weird when the memory limit issue is present" is the problem eh?

I am not confident that the translation is the cause of the problem. Perhaps something like: with the translation enabled there is a memory shortage.

I've tried the German and French pack. Same problems there.
About the memory...how can I check this?

Ok, I've changed the following files to 24:
.htaccess
_basic_config
advanced
(did them al, wanted to be sure :lol:)
Activated dutch language

tadaaaa,
it works like a charm!

:D

I even have the hope I can change to my favorite skin!

Glad it works! :)

Which PHP version are you using?
With PHP newer than 5.2.1, the default is 128M already (the memory management/reporting is different).
So when changing to PHP 5.2.1 you probably need to bump/uncomment this change again and therefor it would be better to have it only in one place.. :)

PHP5/ PHP 2.64-pl2
Which document is best to change?
Than I can change the other ones back to 16m, or is it 8?

2.64-pl2 is probably the version of phpMyAdmin, not PHP.
I would only change it in .htaccess - but it makes no sense to change it in _advanced.php to 8/16, because it will overwrite it: you should rather uncomment/remove it there.
