Blank configuration panel

I have installed CD 1.2 RC3 on my test server (Joomla 1.5.7). Everything works fine there. No problems. Then I installed Joomla and RC3 on the production site (different server, also 1.5.7). Now everything works except for the Configuration panel which just returns a blank page.

Tried to find information here (yes, I read the FAQ ;) ). Nothing at all shows for that page in Joomla debug mode - just a blank page. Nothing shows regarding this problem in the server error logs. I have tried removing CB and all its directories and reinstalling it. Still the same problem. Any idea on how to solve?

....... :ohmy:

OK. As I got this far in writing my message I received a mail from my operator's helpdesk (response to my questions regarding the problem). They have now 'made some changes to the security settings on the server as it seems that CB is using resources not generally accessible to the users'. Now everything works!

I'll try to find out what they changed - maybe that information is useful for somebody with the same problem. I'll be back if I find it out...

It seems that this operator has a very strict PHP-policy on their servers. They said that they could see two things in their logs:
  • The use of phpinfo which is not normally allowed
  • Some variable name length that exceeded the restriction settings(they did not specify)
Now they allowed the use of phpinfo and changed the variable name length limit for this site.

They also said that it seems that CB easily gets problems with Suhosin restrictions. These problems can be seen in the logs where Suhosin puts it's information.

So far so good, the Config panel and everything in the core of CB seems to work now, but I still have one problem that I haven't solved: The cb captcha images do not show... :blink:
