It looks like you're encountering a blank page issue with phpMyAdmin after updating PHP and installing Xdebug. This can be caused by several factors including configuration issues, PHP errors, or Apache server problems. Here are some steps to help you debug and hopefully resolve the issue:
1. Check PHP Configuration
Ensure that your php.ini settings are correctly configured. From the details you provided, it seems there might be a typo in your configuration. The correct directive for displaying errors is display_errors (not display_error). Update this in your php.ini file:
display_errors = On
After making this change, restart your Apache server and check if phpMyAdmin loads correctly or if any errors are displayed.
2. Verify Xdebug Installation
Incorrect Xdebug installation or configuration can also lead to issues. Verify your Xdebug settings in php.ini:
zend_extension = "path_to_xdebug_extension"
xdebug.mode = debug
xdebug.start_with_request = yes
Make sure the path to the Xdebug extension is correct. You can find the correct path by checking where the Xdebug extension is located in your XAMPP installation.
3. Check Apache and PHP Logs
Since you're seeing errors in your Apache log related to SSL and server name, and a PHP error indicating a path issue, these might be contributing to the problem. Address the server name issue in your Apache configuration (httpd-ssl.conf):
ServerName localhost
For the PHP path issue, ensure that all paths in your php.ini and other configuration files are correct and accessible.
4. Increase Error Logging
To get more detailed error information, you can temporarily increase the level of error reporting in PHP. Modify your php.ini file:
error_reporting = E_ALL
log_errors = On
error_log = "C:/xampp/php/logs/php_error.log"
Make sure the error_log path exists and is writable. After making these changes, restart Apache and try accessing phpMyAdmin again.
5. Permissions Check
Ensure that the file and directory permissions are correct. XAMPP on Windows usually runs with sufficient permissions, but it's good to check if the phpMyAdmin directory and its contents are accessible by the Apache service.
6. Reinstall phpMyAdmin
If none of the above steps work, consider reinstalling phpMyAdmin. Sometimes, updates or configuration changes can corrupt files. Reinstalling phpMyAdmin can resolve such issues.
Restart Apache
After making these changes, don't forget to restart your Apache server:
cd C:/xampp/apache/bin
httpd -k restart
Check if these steps help resolve the issue of the blank page in phpMyAdmin. If the problem persists, consider checking with more detailed logs or reverting to a previous stable configuration.
