Concrete 5.6 not working on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk

Permalink
Hi,

We want to move our existing Concrete 5.6 CMS to Elastic Beanstalk so we started by trying to deploy a completely new Concrete 5.6 without success.

The Installation process works up to where you enter the Database and Administrator information and then when you press Install Concrete5, it hangs there for a good 2 minutes, then shows a completely blank page.

We tried increasing the max_execution_time to 600 but that didn't change anything.
We also tried running the installer on a local machine (which worked fine), and then we moved the database and site files to Beanstalk. Now when we try to access the index.php, we get a blank page.

There are no errors in the PHP logs, no errors in Apache logs, just a blank page.

BTW, we installed 5.7 on Beanstalk and it works out of the box but our existing CMS cannot be migrated to 5.7 currently since it requires a lot of human intervention.

Did anyone ever get this problem? We need to get 5.6 working on Elastic Beanstalk.
Your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi kgagne,

There is a discussion of using Amazon Elastic Beanstalk and concrete5 5.6 in this thread:

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I had seen that post but I think it may be unrelated since in my case it just doesn't work.

Session problems would not prevent the page from displaying completely as it does now.

We drilled down in the code and found out that the problem lies in the NewADOConnection method call.

ADOdb doesnt seem to be loaded nor available on the Amazon Linux machines :(
