<<Did you use the same database in each instance, or did you use a fresh database each time?>>

Abhi – Fresh database each time.

<<You could try flushing out your permalink settings in the database(if they’re still present from when you set them initially) and see if that allows the page to come back (i can explain how).>>

Abhi – I think they’re already flushed (see below). Please do explain if more steps need to be followed.

<<Do you have access to phpmyadmin?>>

Abhi – Yes

<<To skip past the explanation phase though take a look at this thread here.

Abhi – Thanks for that link.

For me the option_value is already blank and I’ve already tried setting the option_id to zero.

Here’s what I did after reading the posts in that link:

1. Deleted the wordpress sub-directory. Deleted the MySql database and the MySql user using the “MySql Databases” tool in cPanel. Ensured that PHPMyAdmin was clean (i.e. it read “no databases”).

2. Did a fresh install of WP 2.9.2. Faced the same issue of the “options-permalink.php” page being blank (sans the line on the top).

3. I then went into PHPMyAdmin –> wp_options –> Browsed to permalink_structure.
– Noticed that the “option_value” textbox was blank (per the posts on that link, i think it needs to be that way?)
– The value for option_id was set to 32 — I set it to 0 and saved :No joy. Set it back to 32 / different ‘unique values’ – back to 32.
– Tried entering multiple different values in option-value – No difference – the page still won’t load. For some settings – It went completely blank.
– Went to PHPMyAdmin –> ProcessList and restarted the thread – no difference.

Thoughts?
Thanks for continuing to help me fixing this.

@samboll –

Thanks for continuing to offer me help.

<<1. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);>>

Abhi – Added the above line right below the “<?php” in wp-config.php

<<2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 64M:
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)>>

Abhi – I’ve enabled the “Show Hidden Files” view in the cPanel file manager, but can’t see this file anywhere under the WWW document root. Is there another place where I should be looking?

<<3. If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 64M>>

Abhi – Done. Still no joy.

— Thanks for the suggestion of performing a manual install.
— I just finished the following steps:
1. Downloaded WordPress from http://wordpress.org/download/
2. Followed the steps mentioned at http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress to install wordpress @ http://abhijitanand.com/blog1
3. Tried the above suggestions offered by samboll.

— The install was successful – the WP-Admin opens- but the exact same problem (structure is null error / blank page) still exists when I access the page at http://abhijitanand.com/blog1/wp-admin/options-permalink.php
