Hello,
The blank/whitescreening blog could be a number of things. First, check that safe mode is OFF in php.ini on your server. Make sure to change it to OFF and restart Apache (assuming you’re using Linux) after doing so. Otherwise, you will want to check the error logs for the site as those can often give an indication of the problem.

Alrighty, I found two files on my server, a php.ini and a php5.ini file, but I didn’t see anything about safe mode in either of them.
I do run PHP5 on my server.
Here are what my error logs say:

Does anything stick out to you?
Update:
Tried a fresh install; attaching the old database to the new files, and while I was installing, I got the following error:
Warning: parse_url(http:///jancewicz/bill/wp-admin/) [function.parse-url]: Unable to parse URL in /home/content/b/j/a/bjancewicz/html/jancewicz/bill/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 943
Nothing seems to have changed.
how are you installing wp? via ftp?
have you tried installing a blog elsewhere on your site?
The host cannot parse access versus database feed.
Contact host via c-panel or phone and ask them to replace the .htaccess file.There are 3 ,so they will know you mean the main one.You could do it yourself but don’t use FTP which is then fighting it’s own access privileges.
If you successfully re-instated your database you may find that you will need to also change themes temporarily before switching back to your own;
the css gets messed up with post formatting.
Let me know.
@dig1618: Yeah, I used FTP. And yes, I have other installs on my site which work fine. Here’s one, here’s another.
@the5sisters: I’ll give it a whirl. I’ve got GoDaddy, they do pretty good tech support, so we’ll see.
Hey The5Sisters:
Here’s what my .htaccess file reads:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_Host} ^zerflin.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.zerflin.com/$1 [L,R=301]
How should I edit it?
