Baffled by my browser

Posted by skenow on 1728092217

I restored a recent backup of a site on my local computer and for some reason, Firefox will not display anything. There are no error messages in the apache logs or PHP logs. I went through my usual diagnostics - emptied cache and cookies, restarted the browser, turned off all extensions. And, it has no problem viewing the live site.

After uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (on Ubuntu 24.04), I still haven't found the problem. To eliminate the server settings, I opened up another browser - several in fact - and they can view the local site without any problems.

Next, I installed a fresh copy of ImpressCMS and copied the modules from the production site in, and installed them without any problems. Change the database the site pointed at - blank page.

I've emptied the sessions table in the restored database - no change.

Any other things you can think of?
