Error : white admin page after activating FR

[lefermier]

Hello friends,
I get white admin page after setting up french language in admin
(not just after activating it but in selecting french in the list for admin)
can you please help me resolve this?
thank you

look at your error logs for your hosting sever at the time the event occurs - that will give you a clue to whats going on. it should point on that log what is going on...

i am on wampserver and i got this :

in C:\Program Files\wamp\logs\access.log
127.0.0.1 - - [25/May/2010:01:05:49 +0100] "GET /oscmax20250/admin/login.php HTTP/1.1" 200 -
and nothing in this time in C:\Program Files\wamp\logs\php_error.log

and when i change the adress in the browser to language=en :
127.0.0.1 - - [25/May/2010:01:11:10 +0100] "GET /oscmax20250/admin/index.php?language=en HTTP/1.1" 200 32482

You need to properly set up logging and know where to check. The access log will not contain errors. Look in error_log, not php_error.log (the standard log for apache errors is usually error_log).

Check with the support site for your server software for help with this. If you are going to run a local server, you should first learn how to set it up so that you can debug problems.

Next, I can guarantee the problem is that you are missing some required language files, but which files can only be found if you have error logging properly configured.

I have just been testing this in v2.1 and it is repeatable ... I have narrowed it down to something in the french.php file in admin/includes/languages ...

Give me a few minutes and I will see if I can track it down for you.

The problem was being caused by one unescaped ' in the add_ccgvdc_french.php which you will find in admin/includes/languages/ folder.

Find this on line 3:

define('BOX_GV_ADMIN_QUEUE', 'Chèques cadeaux file d'attente');

and replace it with: (note the backslash)

define('BOX_GV_ADMIN_QUEUE', 'Chèques cadeaux file d\'attente');

Thanks for pointing out the error - I have posted this solution in to the source code for v2.0.x and v2.1 - you can view it here.
