Shows a BLANK white page for the home page

I installed a fresh wordpress on my server root directory. I can access the wp-admin section but when I go to the blog URL it shows a blank (white) page.
There are no errors
The HTML source of the page has nothing (not even a single word or a tag)

Server : windows IIS.
Database : MySQL

When I install using the wordpress installation tool provided by the server it works fine but I cant use that tool to install the blog into the root directory so I FTP all wordpress files (600+ files altogether) to my root directory and then ran the wp-admin/install.php it installs fine.

The server environment cannot be a problem because it works fine when I install using the tool.

I checked server log files those are also clean.

I have already tried following:
1 – Install a fresh copy of wordpress again (tried several times)
2 – Installed an old version of wordpress
3 – Renamed the pluggins page to something that wordpress cannot find
4 – Changed the theme to Default to Classic and vise versa

Non of the above mentioned worked for me!

If you need to take a look:
My URL : http://www.Ilearnttoday.com
Admin User/Pass : admin / [not a good idea]

Please help me on this!

I edited your post to remove password -good way to get the blog messed up

blank pages are usually indicative of php errors or low php memory.
might see if host will bump php memory to 32M
if still having trouble this aft. – contact me

We are having the same issue – we have installed it for the first time and assumed there must be a bug with 2.7.1.
It is on a Windows Server (Verio in the US).
As stated above, Admin works fine, but there seems to be no content at all and no error messages.
If we manually put some text into the index.php page that displays without issue.
Is there any way to test for memory or other settings with script?

I think I have solved the problem.
It appears to be a pathing issue.
in index.php (root) line 17 is:

require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

if you change it to

require(‘wp-blog-header.php’);

it seems to work fine

perhaps this is an issue of IIS serving PHP pages?? I am told by someone with more PHP knowledge than I that ‘./’ should be pefectly correct for the same directory level – but no dice in IIS – very odd.

anyway hope that helps others

all the best

Gunterblum,

It WORKED !!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know how to thank you…

I tried millions of things to take my blog up and running.

Who would think it was this “./” 😀

I really don’t know how many other places would cause this problem…!

Thanks again… You saved a lot of my time…

My friend,

I am not an expert but I can give u some suggestions.

1 – Make sure php works fine on ur host by creating a simple php file and running it Try :-
<?php
echo ‘Hello World!’;
?>

2 – Make sure all files are copied to ur host (try FTPing files again)

3 – Try disabling plug-ins (they say to rename those folders to make sure)

I know this is a very tedious process because I went through this…

But my friends just don’t give up, because.

When you see the previous entries from people like you go to their web sites and you will see their sites work now that means they have found the solution, so don’t give up your solution will come to you just like the solution for me came after a very stressful time…

Good luck.. 😀

Regards,
Menol
