Michael,

I’m not 100% sure, I did a few things so I’m not exactly sure.

From the looks of it, the server upgrade disturbed my nggallery plugin and corrupted one of the files in the plugin. This in turn, seemed to wreck havoc on my website (hence the disappeared Admin area when I logged on in the morning). So with me thinking it was just the plugin (and unaware of the server upgrade until later in the day) I renamed the plugin, and it worked a little bit – I got my site back, but not the admin area. But because the upgrade didn’t seem to have finished refreshing, or whatever it does, the site wasn’t working properly anyway.

After many hours, I backed up the site and removed it from the webspace. Hours later, I reuploaded it and after a couple of reuploads and a fresh install of WordPress it magically started working again. (Maybe the server was still updating to this point?)

However when I put the courrupt plugin back on the site, it went blank again. This time with the webspace behaving normally, a reinstall of the plugin worked fine and I got my website back in full.

I now have a problem with restoring the full features of the plugin, but I’m happy to sort that problem another day. 🙂

Hope that sheds some light and helps others who might get themselves in the same situation.

Okay, totally had enough of this. I just can’t find anything wrong with the webspace or the server and yet the site still will not work at all. Even a fresh install of WordPress won’t work and still brings up a blank page, and I can’t move the site onto another server as I can’t get into the dashboard to change any settings. Whether this was a plugin, the server upgrade, or anything else, I really cannot see a solution.

Just found out that the server the webspace is on got updated during the night. This may very well be the cause. I’m waiting to hear further info on the update…

No worries!!

I’ve deleted the .htacess file and still nothing changes. http://www.tenfloors.co.uk/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php is still a totally blank page…

:S Very worried

No, absolutely no installation process.

I upload all the files, verify the upload, go to the URL: http://www.tenfloors.co.uk/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

And I get a totally blank page.

I do the exact same thing on different webspace and the installation page comes up no problem.

Michael,

Cheers for the help. I’d already backed up, i’ve got a complete database back up and a back up of the old site too.

Just to clarify, I saw your thread on these forms and actually did steps 7 to 8 this morning but to no avail.

At the moment – the webspace has a complete and verified fresh copy of WordPress on it but when I try opening the install.php URL i just get a blank page.

I’ve done an exact duplicate on some other webspace I have, and I don’t get a blank page on install.php – I get the normal installation page, leading me to believe there’s something beyond the /wordpress directory that is causing this major problem.

Any ideas?

By the way – http://www.tenfloors.co.uk/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php is the URL.

Many thanks

Just found this in the header.php file:

<!– navigation …………………………… –>
<div id=”navigation”>

<form action=”<?php bloginfo(‘siteurl’) ?>/index.php” method=”get”>
<fieldset>
<input value=”<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>” name=”s” id=”s” />
<input type=”submit” value=”Go!” id=”searchbutton” name=”searchbutton” />
</fieldset>
</form>

<li <?php if(is_home()){echo ‘class=”current_page_item”‘;}?>>” title=”Home”>Home
<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order’);?>

</div><!– /navigation –>

Could altering this in some way assist in the results?

Many thanks for any help.

Michael,

Brilliant, thanks for your answer. This will help! I’m a bit useless at phpMyAdmin but I’ll give it a go as a temporary fix whilst I’m waiting for WordPress to get back to me.

Hopefully I won’t run into problems fixing it… If so I may have to bump this thread!

Cheers for the help!
