blank pages are indicative of a fatal PHP error.
what do the server error logs?
I don’t know. I don’t know how to access them.
then ask your host how, then you will forever know how, and wont need to ask again 🙂
Well, they’re kind of picky on that. It’s a shared ColdFusion/PHP server so I can upload .cfm and .php files (In fact, I’m upgrading from a CF to a PHP blog) and they don’t seem all too helpful. That’s why I’m asking here.
ok, but we cant tell you how to find your error logs.
Now, I could blow smoke up your a$$, and tell you to do a bunch of stuff.. but the fact is that its MUCH easier to read exactly what the problem is, rather than guessing. So I dont do that anymore.
Ask your host to make your error logs accessible, OR to turn on error logging so that they are created inside your directories as errors occur.
Well, I finally talked to my host and he won’t let me look at the error logs. He said he did and he found no WP-related errors. So he suggested I delete everything and upload it all over again. So I did and once again, got the same blank page.
On occasion, I’ve seen this problem when the install is looking for a theme that is no longer there. If you can login to your admin area, try changing your theme to the default and see if that helps. Also, it looks like you have an index.html page in your root as well…not a great idea to have two index pages in root. If you are running a website in root, then I would recommend having your blog in a subdirectory…just my opinion.
Make sure your “secret code” on the config.php file is correct… I had this same problem, and it was because the copy and paste of the secret code was missing a “)”.
Well, the current index.cfm is the old site. I want to keep it there until the new site is ready to go. Then I’ll delete it. As for the Secret Code, good idea. but do you mean the Authentication Unique Keys or something else?
hi there, interesting problem you have there, I would check your urls in general settings to make sure they are pointing to the root, where your blog is located, also you could try renaming the index.cfm page to index2.cfm so that its not being auto detected by the browser, at the moment when I visit your url, the browser is trying to find the default index.php page. hope you get there.

I tried renaming index.cfm awhile back to index_old.cfm. That doesn’t affect anything. According to my host, it’s database related and suggested I dump the tables and run a fresh install. Ugh!
pity, sorry it didn’t help
Hey,
It may be the issue due to the plugins..can you please disable all the active plugins and have a try with your blog?
It may the issue with the permalinks too..so you can check for that also..
I reinstalled WordPress and all the plugins are de-activated. General settings say both the Blog as well as the WordPress address is http://www.laadug.org/ which should be correct. After all that, I’m still getting the blank screen.
