Admin page is blank screen with after upgrade to Flarum v0.1.0-beta.7

Hey guys after upgrade to Flarum v0.1.0-beta.7 from v6, I went to the admin page >>> Extensions (so I can re-enable the disabled extensions after the update), then after enabling the first extension (Google Adsense), my admin page (myforum.com/admin) just went to a blank white screen, nothing else other than my site's logo and a red horizontal banner just below the header.

I tried to log out and refresh, and also waited some hours then refreshed and logged back in, however same issue is encountered. Has anyone encountered this? Thanks!

marlon clear cache, if that doesn't help enable debug in config.php by setting false to true. If it is causing errors, report it here and uninstall it using composer.

luceos Wow turning on debug seemed to do the trick! I was able to update extensions only when I'm on debug... Would you know if this method of updating extensions (updating when debug is on) will suffice?

Looking at it physically, all is well except that all the buttons and identifiers are not their "normal" names. For example: the REPLY button is now CORE.FORUM.DISCUSSION_CONTROLS.REPLY_BUTTON.

Any advice is much appreciated...

Thanks so much for your help! ?

marlon FYI this is covered under “common issues” in the Flarum docs

Sanguine Actually, why is everyone saying turning on debug fixes everything? That shouldn't be the case.

marlon

Sanguine Thanks for this! After sleeping overnight and checking on it as soon as I woke up, the "not normal" names are now back to normal. ?

By the way, would you know what's causing the GATEWAY TIMEOUT when updating extensions? After updating them in DEBUG mode same issue is encountered but below info is provided.

Thanks!

marlon I notice you're using bazaar. Some of the tasks bazaar processes take a very long time. The gateway timeout is caused by your nginx server thinking php has stopped. The next version of bazaar will allow you to have these tasks run in a cronjob, this will effectively remove these issues.

luceos Got it! Thanks so much for this! ?
