 * Did you do something different?
 * Do you have a backup you can restore? Like a database or files?
 * Sometimes you could get that error from a Permalink issue. If you have custom
   permalinks set up, you can log into your hosting control panel and open the .
   htaccess file in your root and comment out your permalink structure code.
 * It’ll be between the
    # Begin WordPress … … # End WordPress
 * Just put a # in front of each link you find in the middle (where my dots are)
   to comment out the code.
 * Save the file and see if that works. If not, go back into your .htaccess file
   and remove the # signs (so you restore everything back to where you were).

 * I have the same problem. After upgrading to 2.8.4, the DB upgrade script came
   up successfully, but now my blog is nothing but a blank white page. I’m not even
   sure where to begin.
 * I tried commenting out the WordPress .htaccess lines with no success.

 * It seems PHP memory problem. Add following line in your wp-config.php after <?
   php line:
 * define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
 * Kailash

 * I had the same problem after exporting xml and doing a clean install of 2.8.4
   in response to the security exploit (I had an extra hidden Admin user account).
 * I thought the white page resulted from some error I made in restoring the blog(
   I didn’t even get as far as re-importing the xml), but the comments above make
   it sound like it’s a 2.8.4 error. So now I’m confused. Especially since I upgraded
   to 2.8.4 with another uninfected blog on the same server, without any problem.
 * I will try Kailash’s solution as soon as my current FTP download finishes.

 * Nope, Kailash’s solution didn’t work. I still have a white page.
 * Anyone with another idea?

 * Ah! I had an error in my wp-config.php file (table prefix was incorrect).
 * Now I have to import the xml file . . .
