Blank WordPress Home Page

    Hello i recently wanted to migrate my MySql database to another server which seemed to be a simple enough task.

    It was due to the fact that a plugin wp-forum needed the MySql to be a higher version and i had a bigger limit on another server.

    So i backed up the whole database and restored it on the other server no problems.

    I then changed the connection settings in the wp-config to connect to the new location of the database. I then got a white blank page not sure why as no errors displayed. So instead of having my site down i put the connection settings back to normal and i am still having a white page come up.

    What could i have done wrong to cause this? How can i fix it?

    Also i tried to install wp 2.8 onto the server i was moving it to and connect to the database but i got a few errors across the webpage, saying certain things were missing from the database. But that could be because i only had the db dump from the 2.7.

    [link removed]

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hi DF,
    I removed your link because when you navigate to “themes.php” it gives out way too much info.
    You should put that file in a protected directory

    try adding this line to top of wp-config.php

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

    Thanks for that samboll

    I’ve added that line.

    Ive now copied all the files to the new server and the database.

    I can see an error now that says
    Parse error: parse error, expecting `’)” in C:\xampp\htdocs\users\user1\***************mysite.com\wp-config.php on line 12

    line 12 is:
    define(?WP_CACHE?, true);

    that line should look like
    define('WP_CACHE', true);

    Thanks that resolved the issue, strange i never touched the WP_CACHE line.
