could be an .htaccess problem
rename to test
could be a memory problem
1. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 128M:
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)
3. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 128M
I changed the memory in php.ini from 64M to 128M, but no luck in getting the site up and running.
Where do I find the .htaccess file?
If I try to re-install a fresh WP 3.01 through my host (Bluehost), will I wipe out all my content files?
you will – yes
the .htaccess is accessed with an ftp client set to show hidden files
or
thru host’s file manager
it will be in wherever you installed wordpress
Bluehost had a post on possible fixes for the so-called “White screen of death.” Ends up I had an incompatible plug-in somewhere. This is what worked:
Incompatible Plugin
In File Manager
Go toWP-Content, look for “plugins” Folder and rename as “plugins_old”.
Create new empty folder called “plugins”.
This will disable all the WordPress plugins.
Log into WordPress and verify site is working.
Enable plug-ins one at a time to see which one was causing the issues.
thanks so much for coming back with the resolution
it will help others searching
