Ive inherited a silverstripe installation that is running for the most part but we have been unable to modify any content. When I logon to the admin pages I get the left side menu showing and the front page comes up ok, but when I click anywhere else I am generally getting a blank white box. I checked the php error logs and its showing

PHP Warning: Requirements_Backend::process_combined_files(): Couldn't create 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot/assets/_combinedfiles//lib.js' in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\framework\view\Requirements.php on line 1017

Im assuming the theme that is being used might have been designed for a system other than windows or was maybe customised incorrectly. Can anyone give me any pointers on how to fix the issue ?

Hi Chip Mcwristy,

Looks like a permissions issue over your 'assets' folder.

Although with IIS I am unsure what you will need to do to allow read and write.

Thanks for the quick reply, for testing I gave everyone full control as well as Iusr full and I stopped seeing that warning in the logs but the admin pages issue still remains where I get a blank white box. I thought the error more had to do with the path beginning as C:\Inetpub\wwwroot and then the slashs go opposite direction /assets/_combinedfiels//lib.js ?

The only other warning in the logs is which I didn't think was a showstopper, but I did note the path was the correct format for windows

PHP Notice: BlogEntry::ParsedContent() is deprecated; use BlogEntry::Content() in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\blog\code\BlogEntry.php on line 148

In playing more in the admin pages that do show things, I went to security and clicked add member which doesn't work but produces this in the error logs

PHP Deprecated: Automatically populating $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. To avoid this warning set 'always_populate_raw_post_data' to '-1' in php.ini and use the php://input stream instead. in Unknown on line 0

I also couldn't edit existing members, hoping this may help in narrowing the fault
