Multiple blog trouble: index.php is blank

    I have searched around and found other people with similar problems, but none of the solutions seem to fit my situation.
    My situation:
    I have one completely functional weblog set up in one directory, let’s say it is in httpdocs/directory1/index.php
    So, I copied every file from directory1 and put them in httpdocs/directory2/
    I then modified config.php in directory2 so that install.php would create new tables for my new weblog.
    I run install.php from directory2/wp-admin/install.php and the install works great. I use the link at the end of install that takes you to the admin area and still everything is great.
    However, index.php in directory2 will not work. Nothing but a completely blank page.
    It is frustrating because the exact same files all work perfectly in directory1.
    Any help would be great. I am sort of stuck and have looked at the code way too much.
    Thanks!

    Ok, so I figured it out and want to share it with everybody else in case it happens to anybody.
    The problem was with a plugin, I think. I only use one, so I have limited exposure to using them.
    Shortly before I decided I was ready to start making multiple blogs, I started using the plugin ViewLevels v.1.1.2 on my main blog.
    First let me say that this plugin worked great and I really like it.
    All that happened is that when I installed my new weblog, this plugin (as they all are) was defaulted to be not active. Now I don’t know exactly the details of what the code issue is, but there are some very minor code changes used on the site when running this plugin.
    Apparantly, with those small code changes, the plugin must be activated or your site will do some very weird stuff. (Well, at least my will).
    I am not sure if this would happen to everybody but it is something to consider if you are using this plugin and installing new weblogs.
    I also had some issues with getting my different blogs to look in the proper directories, but I think that was probably more my clumsy methods than anything else.
    Well, if I figure anything else out about this I will share more.

    I have installed and placed an opening statement in my new WP site, and have recently gone it to check the setup, etc. However, for the past two days I have been unable to log in. Should I replace the log-in page, or is something else going on? All the files seem intact.

    Are you getting an error returned when trying to log in, or simply a blank page, or no response at all? Won’t hurt to upload your backed-up site files.
