Local MAMP install blank index page

Hello! I've been searching the forums for some time now and can't find the answer to my specific dilemma.

I downloaded a tar ball of an existing zen cart site and attempted to set it up locally for tweaking on my mac/MAMP Pro. I've replaced all instances of the site name to the local site name in the entire site folder as well as the SQL db.

The admin part of the site works fine. It's reading the db correctly from my local SQL db. However, all other pages on the local site yield a blank page, where the page source contains absolutely nothing.

I checked the error logs and there is nothing being logged - and I know the error logging is working because I was just using it for a different local site.

The Zen cart install that I'm working with is 1.3.8 and I'm VERY hesitant to upgrade as there are lots of additional plug-ins and modules that the site depends on. I'm aware that 1.3.8 operates on PHP 5.2, so I have my MAMP set to just that. I ran phpinfo() on both the live site and the local site, and live = 5.2.13 and local = 5.2.14.

Upon debugging, I'm finding that when it tries to load index.php, the scripting stops at this line on application_top.php (line 119)

require('includes/autoload_func.php');

Where autoload_func.php seems to stop somewhere in the first foreach loop.

Any thoughts? I also tried the local site both with and without .htaccess files present. Same results.

I noticed the class requirement was commented out, so I uncommented it and class.base and got this error log:

I also found this thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=320867 and discovered that my session.auto_start value was already set to 0.

Thanks you for any help!

And, that means that the notifier class file is either missing, or damaged or otherwise not being loaded properly.

Here is my autoload_func.php:The error message only mentions that file because that's the file that discovered the problem, not where the problem originates.

```I'm not surprised that uncommenting any of the "require" statements there would cause a problem ... because they're there as comments only.
 

So ... back to the real issue: 
The most likely cause of your problem is that you're missing at least one file from /includes/classes ... and if you're missing one, usually you're missing several.
This is the fastest way to identify likely issues: <http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_-_Diagnosing_Obscure_Issues>

You can find the original set of Zen Cart files for all versions at SourceForge.   Link is on the home-page of <https://www.zen-cart.com>


If you find that the files are indeed all present perfectly, then edit your application_top.php file and change DEBUG_AUTOLOAD to true so the steps from the config.core execution are displayed to screen.

UGH!

Thanks so much! Turning on autoload debugging revealed to me that I was missing a trailing slash in my configure.php for the full path.

:bangin:

Always best to run zc_install to build the configure.php files on a new site. Saves all kinds of wasted time troubleshooting needlessly.
