Typesetter CMS – Fix White Page or 500 Errors

Typesetter CMS white page or 500 error can be investigated by looking into Apache logs or setting php errors to be visible:
- Open gpconfig.php file and change php’s display_errors setting to 1.
- Taking XAMPP as an example, access Apache error log by navigating to C:\xampp\apache\logs and opening error.log
White page or 500 error during first installation – Most likely due to PHP version not happy with curly braces. If you are using PHP 8.2+ install Typesetter CMS 5.2. You can also downgrade php version and install 5.1.
Example of XAMPP working combo: Xampp 7.4.33 + Typesetter CMS 5.1.
