Hi all, just trying to prolong an old website's life for a few more days (until client's new site is ready).
The website has a K2 installation used for the blog, and I have been getting blank pages on K2 items only (category view works fine) since I moved the website to an older server.

I just need to make this installation work for another 2 weeks until the new website is ready.
Would appreciate any insight on the issue, thanks.

Ok lets administer some CPR then :)
Update to K2 2.6.9
If the issue persists then go to your site's global configuration and enable the error reporting setting, set it to development to see the actual issue.

Krikor, you're THE MAN!!!

Thanks, on it in a couple of minutes, will let you know how it goes!

Updated K2 to v2.6.9 but the problem persists. What now Boss? :)

Enable error reporting to see the actual issue, and paste it here.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_regex_encoding() in /home/ksports/public_html/components/com_k2/helpers/route.php on line 94

This is a server setup issue.
Your server does not have the PHP multibyte module installed.

Thanks, talking to the host right now.
Will let you know what happens!

You 're welcome Alex :)

Bad news, unfortunately the host cannot offer this module right now.
Is there any workaround to this, e.g. falling back to an older version of K2?

I do not think this will work since this pretty much a standard PHP module.

You can grab a $10 coupon from DigitalOcean and move it to a new VPS for a month or so. It will take a couple of hours but you can keep the VPS afterwards.

This is a great suggestion, but in the end both the Client & I agree that we will not waste more time on the old site.

Anything can go wrong with a new migration, and at this point it is best to concentrate my time and effort on the new site, instead of the old site that will only be in place for 7-10 days more.

Again, thanks x1.000 Krikor. You provided me with a complete solution. It is only the temporary nature of the project that makes it not worth resolving.

Have a great day!!!

Thank you Alex,

It's always nice to help :)

Hello Krikor, I am having the same issues blank pages with joomla 3.5 using K2 2.7 and tried 2.69

Error: reporting: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in /home/britepen/public_html/TRIAX/components/com_k2/helpers/route.php on line 93

Line 94 from route.php: mb_regex_encoding("UTF-8");

You suggested multibyte module not install would this apply to my issue as well?

Hello Scott,
You should contact your host in order to install/activate the PHP mbstring extension.
