In the config file "config.php" where you set up your database password, if you use some characters (like "#") you will get a blank page.

It happens in init.php at line 126

$GLOBALS['db'] = ADONewConnection("mysqli://".DB_USER.':'.DB_PASS.'@'.DB_HOST.':'.DB_PORT .'/'.DB_NAME);

PHP Code:


// ---------------------------------------------------
//  Setup our DB
// ---------------------------------------------------
include_once(INCLUDES_PATH . "/adodb/adodb.inc.php");
include_once(INCLUDES_PATH . "/adodb/adodb-errorhandler.inc.php");

$GLOBALS['db'] = ADONewConnection("mysqli://".DB_USER.':'.DB_PASS.'@'.DB_HOST.':'.DB_PORT.'/'.DB_NAME);
$GLOBALS['log'] = new CSystemLog();

if( !is_object($GLOBALS['db']) )
                die('');
                
$mysql_server_info = $GLOBALS['db']->ServerInfo();
$GLOBALS['db_version'] = $mysql_server_info['version'];

$debug = $GLOBALS['db']->Execute("SELECT value FROM `".DB_PREFIX."_settings` WHERE setting = 'config.debug';");
if($debug->fields['value']=="1") {
    define("DEVELOPER_MODE", true);
} 


it will try to connect to the database, if it fails, the page dies whith no error.

PHP Code:


if( !is_object($GLOBALS['db']) )
                die(''); 


Solution: just urlencode the DB_PASS

PHP Code:

$GLOBALS['db'] = ADONewConnection("mysqli://".DB_USER.':'.urlencode(DB_PASS).'@'.DB_HOST.':'.DB_PORT.'/'.DB_NAME);

I've posted your solution to github issues section.

config.php is using single quoted strings they don't interpret special characters like #. I will take a look into this and push a commit with the changes later.
