[pmwiki-users] I hope you can help with on my pmWiki blank page & “UnableToFindSkinProblem”,

[Henry Gurr]

Dear pmWiki users

I have website “UnableToFindSkinProblem”,  that I hope you can help with 
on my pmWiki Pages at  
http://ww2.usca.edu/ResearchProjects/ProfessorGurr/  (this site is 
running OK now with out any problem, but of course  on the older 
original Beta 17 installation. )

My website is on pmWiki  v 2.0 Beta 17 has been running successfully for 
abut a year now, and I decided to upgrade to pmWiki v 2.1.5 in order to 
be able to run the latest Version of TotalCounter.

This website is running on the University’s Windows Server, of recent & 
up to date software version. I believe the php software  is version 5.0 
downloaded from an official php site.

After the new upgrades were in placed and checked, I found that my site 
shows only a “Blank Browser Page”, with  message:
PmWiki can't process your request ?unable to find skin from list bare.
Three other warnings were also there (see below) but these are of lesser 
concern to  me.

Please help with some suggested ideas or tests to try.
Henry Gurr


*My Procedures:*
In order to conduct the upgrade, I downloaded pmWiki v 2.1.5 from the 
pmWiki.com  site,  then unzipped. Then  copied and pasted each pmWiki 
folder, in turn, from the unzipped folder to the Professor Gurr folder 
on the server.  In doing this, each of the old wiki folders were 
over-written with the respective new version. The copy and paste is done 
from my windows XP,  my computer folders, to the corresponding  folders 
on the  server. I access the server folders by “mapping a drive” on my 
computer, which makes the file transfers on our university hi speed 
fiber optic link.

I was careful not to do any thing to change the contents of the folders: 
local/config, wiki.d, and a header image jpg, file.

My site administrator who did the original installation, did the very 
thing your pages say not to: He placed pmwiki.php into a file labeled 
index, with exit and several other following symbols and > at the end. I 
preserved these, when I put the new pmwiki.php back into this file and 
saved back into the same name.


*************
*I checked that each of the following *were transferred and had 
approximately the correct number of bytes, and the contents had a 
reasonable number of files inside as contrasted with the previously 
working site files.
README.txt        An introductory document
    pmwiki.php        The main PmWiki script
    local/            Configuration scripts (local configuration files)
    cookbook/         Recipes (add-ons) from the Cookbook
    docs/             Brief documentation, sample configuration scripts
    pub/              Publicly accessible files
      css/            Extra CSS stylesheet files
      skins/          Layout templates for custom look and feel
    scripts/          Scripts that are part of PmWiki
    wikilib.d/        Bundled default PmWiki pages
*******************************************************
*
Here is the full warning message.* The last warning is about a problem 
in PHP software itself and this I will take up with my server administrator.


Warning: include_once(local/wikilog.php) [function.include-once]: failed 
to open stream: No such file or directory in 
E:\wiki\pmwiki-2.0.beta17\ProfessorGurr\local\config.php on line 44

?unable to find skin from list bare
We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Here are some of my re-checking steps:*
Prior to starting I read and then followed carefully the pmWiki 
WebPages, with all the Download Requirements, Requirements for 
installing PmWiki, Upgrade steps, Initial Setup Tasks, etc.

After I discovered the “Blank Page Problem”, I rechecked all my 
installation files and folders. I have even perused all the Release 
Notes pages, and change log and pwiki-users Archives for clues. These 
were all very extensive but I saw nothing that would  help with my 
circumstance.
