Patch for REL1_3 (495 bytes, patch)

Description Zigger 2004-10-17 18:27:44 UTC
After a config under Windows 2000, a blank page is shown, unless the wikidb
database already exists.
This occurred in all the versions I tested: 1.3.3, 1.3.5, 1.3.6.

The fix that worked for me was to edit config/index.php to add "flush();" after
"initialiseMessages();" to match the code for the working case.
Comment 1 Chad Smith 2004-10-21 05:29:48 UTC
I am having the same issue.
I have FTP'd onto WebHost4Life, run through the install questionare and then moved the LocalSettings.php file back to the root 
directory, then when I try and start the wiki I get nothing.
Has there been any progress with this?
Comment 2 Zigger 2004-10-21 09:52:05 UTC
Chad, you seem to have a different issue.  I got the blank page as the response
to the config.  The main page of the wiki subsequently worked for me.
