I can use any of the default themes without an issue, but anything that is uploaded results in a white screen if activated &#8211; I am even unable to preview themes uploaded to the system.  I have tried downloading the zip to my local machine and uploading from there but still no luck.<\/p>\n<p>I have also tried with both firefox and IE8 with similar results and the problem is theme-independent.<\/p>\n<p>In order to get the uploading to work I did have to modify the wp-config.php file as per this post:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/trycatch.iblogger.org\/web\/unable-to-locate-wordpress-content-directory-wp-content\"><\/a>http:\/\/trycatch.iblogger.org\/web\/unable-to-locate-wordpress-content-directory-wp-content<\/p>\n<p>otherwise I kept getting asked for an ftp login which never worked.<\/p>\n<p>Currently have wordpress 2.9.2 installed on ubuntu 10.04.2 server edition.<\/p>\n<p>Any help would be great<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2173214","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-white-screen"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/2173214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/2173214\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2173214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
