 * I’ve solved the issue, my theme works fine now.
    Turned out my server was using
   php4, I changed it to php5 and the white screen disappeared. Just in case someone
   else had the same problem and wanted to try doing the same.
 * Thank you everyone for your time and help. Much appreciated.

 * wow! just knowing that it worked with someone else gives me hope. I’ll continue
   looking for the error, at least, now I know that the theme is fine.
 * Could permissions cause the blank screen ? It’s the only thing I haven’t checked
   yet.

 * Hello jdufell,
    I duplicated index.php, renamed it as front-page.pho & activated
   the theme again but the site still goes blank as soon as I applied it =(
