Another Blank Screen Problem

    Hello,
    I was running 2.8.2 and a friend was changing themes when the screen went blank.

    • I tried opening the site in a fresh browser, blank screen.
    • Went to the forum and found articles about changing the names of the themes, moved all the themes into a different directory, copied the Classic theme into the themes directory from a good install… blank screen.
    • Removed all the plugins, blank screen.
    • Upgraded to WP 2.9.1, blank screen.
    • Restored automatic backup made by Simple Scripts, blank screen.

    I was able to back up my databases using phpmyadmin, but lost the site before I could get a good WP export. I am at a loss to go further. Any help would be appreciated.

    Are you sure your friend only changed the theme ?!?

    Give us the URL of the website to see what’s happen

    Here’s what I did after I logged off a while back:

    • Created a subdomain named http://www.oaspacecoast.org/test and moved all WP files and directories from the ./public_html directory to the new ./public_html/test directory, blank screen.
    • Redirected the original url to a legacy site.
    • Installed WP 3.0-beta1 in the new /test directory.
    • Imported the database using phpmyadmin.
    • I got the following error:
      Warning: require(/home1/oaspacec/public_html/test/wp-includes/post.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home1/oaspacec/public_html/test/wp-settings.php on line 368
    • Checked some of the WP documentation and found the bit about Go to the database of your blog and find the wp_options table. This table stores all the options that you can set in the interface. The WordPress Address and Blog Address are stored as siteurl and home (the option_name field). All you have to do is change the option_value field to the correct URL for the records with option_name=’siteurl‘ or option_name=’home‘. and did that.
    • Same error!

    HTH with t/s
