Question 3
Question
You install TYPO3 (or an extension) and then see only a white page (in the backend and in the frontend) – what do you do? (2)
Answer
Delete the cache files, and the page is visible again.
Check the PHP error log.
Enter the line
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['displayErrors'] = '1'
into the file typo3conf/localconf.php and call up the page again to
view an error message.
Enter the line
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['displayErrors'] = '1'
into the file typo3conf/AdditionalConfiguration.php and call up
the page again to view an error message.
Log in to the backend and analyze the error message there.
Go to the Install Tool and consult the TYPO3 error log to find the cause of the error.
Question 4
Question
You install an extension and are then unable to use your system, because it displays an error message or a blank page – what do you do? (3)
Answer
Delete the backend cache using Flush fronted caches and Flush general
caches.
Delete the corresponding key at
'EXT' => array(
'extConf' => array(
'extensionkey' => '...'
in the file typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php (or you could comment
out the line).
Delete the corresponding key at
'packages' => array(
'extensionkey' => array(...)
in the file typo3conf/PackageStates.php (or you could comment
out the line).
Delete all cache tables from the database.
Delete all files from the typo3conf directory that begin with temp_.
Delete all files from the typo3temp/Cache/Data directory.
Question 5
Question
The menu items of TYPO3 are rendered dynamically as graphics in the main menu of your website. Even though you know that the corresponding TypoScript code is syntactically correct, the menu items are not displayed (or the created graphics are empty). How do you solve this problem? (1)
Answer
You have to make appropriate modifications in the Page TSconfig so
that the graphics are created correctly.
After you have manually deleted all files in typo3temp/, the graphics
are displayed correctly.
You check the path in the Install Tool, in the All configuration section, and then adapt this as necessary. Then you can check the graphic functions in the Test setup section.
You only need to delete the files in the typo3temp/menu/ directory, to recreate the graphics display them again.
Question 6
Question
You suspect that certain system requirements in your TYPO3 installation are not met. How do you check this? (1)
Answer
You execute the systemcheck.php file, which is located in the typo3 directory.
The Basic Configuration section of the Install Tool contains an overview of the system requirements that have been met.
The System environment > Test setup section of the Install Tool contains an overview of the system requirements that have been met.
You install the Core Configuration Check extension and have the system checked.
Only a system administrator can check the system requirements.
Question 7
Question
You want to operate TYPO3 with the PostgreSQL database. Is this possible, and if so, how? (2)
Answer
You have to activate the database in the Install Tool.
PostgreSQL is supported by default, so you can select it from the 1-2-3 wizard during installation.
You have to install the dbal system extension.
You have to install the ADOdb system extension.
Unfortunately, this is not possible, as TYPO3 only works together with MySQL.

Answer
pages
tt_content
pages_translation
pages_language
language
pages_language_overlay

Question 10
Question
You have forgotten your password for the backend and can no longer log in. You are however able to gain access to the file system via FTP. There is no other user nearby. What can you do in this situation? (2)
Answer
You call up the backend and change your password, as you do not
need your original password to do so.
You can change the password in the Admin tools > Install section.
You can call up the install tool directly and create a new admin access in the Important Actions section.
If you have access to the database you can create a new password there.
You use the PHP script createUser.phpsh in typo3/tools to set up a new user.
