These are the steps taken on a local test box:

- configured apache2 and php.
- ran the debian install script with default options.
- accepted and saved default config at 'common/setup.php'.
- ran the first cron command manually without networking on

The file 'common/register.php has the page header in web browser but no
registration form. The rest of the page is blank. I viewed html source.
There are no form elements in the html.

I did all the usual: clear cache and cookies, restart everything,
reboot. Still no registration form appears on the page.

Did I miss a setting in the setup or something in a config file?

Here is cron.php output (ignore the connection errors):

/etc/rocksolid/scripts/cron.php"

After syncing a couple groups with the novabbs server, the html pages
rendered by the local rslight install are still missing elements and
data.

The registration page is blank, with just the header and no
registration form.

The main index page does not list the groups or messages. It shows the
header, then the table headings, and then "Total messages" but shows no
links to the messages or groups.

The mail and login pages do show the login form, unlike the
registration page, which is blank with just the header.

Here is the full HTML output of 'common/register.php' in the web
browser:

Well, that's disappointing!

Thanks for sending so much info, it is helpful.

1. The main index of groups will not show any groups for a while after first
install. It takes maybe 60 minutes of cron.php running every 5 minutes or so
to start displaying information on the page. I'm hoping that this is the issue
with the main index page.

2. The register.php page is odd. It looks like it's just stopping at a random location
and I don't know why.

Questions:

Did you install the latest version from Github? https://github.com/novabbs/rocksolid-light/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

What does the version say at the bottom of a page (if that even displays)?

What browser/version are you using?

Do you have any useful apache error logs when you try to load register.php? Or any page?

I'm running php7.4 on some of my sites, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm NOT running
apache (using nginx), so have not tested apace in several years.

I'm going to create a bullseye/apache2 VM and try an install myself.

If the main groups page eventually loads ok, is it then ONLY register.php that's not working?

version is: rocksolid light 0.7.2

commit 832316a13e0719b78401674b0b64d66fa4fdbcd7

Version does not display on register page. It was the latest version,
freshly pulled from github last evening.

Yes, the imagecreate() func and others are failing due to uncompface
call.

There was also an error about the fortune cookies due to missing

No, the main index page lists nothing in the messages section. It has a
overboard button but lists nothing. The list of groups is empty. If I
click the overboard button it takes me to latest pages list. But no
list of groups.

I should add a check for compface as it's not critical, but it looks
like you have it. Is it in your web server's path?

Do you have php-gd installed? For captcha in register.php.

Could you try to edit /var/www/html/rocksolid/lib/message.inc.php
at line 635, adding the full path for your machine? If that works,
I'll fix the code:

Line 635:
$uncompface = 'uncompface -X '.$facefile.' '.$xbmfile;
To:
$uncompface = '/usr/bin/uncompface -X '.$facefile.' '.$xbmfile;

> There was also an error about the fortune cookies due to missing

I should also run a check for fortunes.

This could be php-gd missing, or not running long enough. Other than that,
it should work fine.

I'll have the VM running tomorrow (Wed) and will try to duplicate the issues.

This was not installed. After install of php-gd, and restart of
apache2, then the register.php page with captcha renders in the browser.

The 'php-gd' install appears to fix it.

One more detail: what is the exact name of the required phpmailer
package on Debian? I have: 'libphp-phpmailer' installed. I assume that
rslite doesn't fall back to the php mail() function if this package is
absent. Is that right?

It is libphp-phpmailer, as you list above.

rslight does NOT fall back to php mail(). Maybe in the future, but the
chances of mail being accepted are less, especially considering that a huge
majority of people registering email are @gmail.com, which is picky and
will reject quite easily.

Do you have the file /etc/rslight/phpmailer.inc.php? If you don't, let me
know and I'll send it to you. It's the config file.

Yes, the file is there. Can I configure it in a text editor or with a
sed script? I don't see anything about it in the setup page, can I do it
manually?
