Title: Another 'blank page' query Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Another 'blank page' query * Resolved [Mac Man](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mac-man/) * (@mac-man) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-blank-page-query/) * Hi * First post on here…. * Have managed to install WordPress on to a server with 1and1. I can log-in to WordPress but when I try and preview any pages all I get is a totally blank screen. * I’ve tried to use the automatic install from the dashboard, but nothing seems to happen. All that does happen is the message “Downloading update from [http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.0.zip…”](http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.0.zip…”); * But the install goes no further. * Any ideas? I have the default theme set at the moment and I’ve deactivated any plug-ins. * Is there a better way to install the software other than copying up the files via FTP. I seem to get errors which makes me think the install isn’t spot-on. * I noticed some people mentioning a service/software called ‘Fantastico’. Is this a paid-for application?

I thought I’d try re-uploading all the files again. Anyhoo… I copies up the base .php files, but not the folders. And the damn thing now works!!!!
