brand new install gives blank screen

Did it work long enough to install, or has it never worked? If it’s NEVER worked, how did you get a config file made?

I had it installed via a different URL on the same hosting service. I uploaded a new unzipped version, created a new database, etc. and updated everything when I moved to the new URL. Everything worked on the test URL (just a sub-folder on an existing URL). So now that I’ve moved I can’t get anything to come up. I updated the sys-config file with the new database information. All I get is 500 error (www.purapuma.com)

“updated everything when I moved to the new URL” – Can you clarify that please? Moving to a new URL is complicated.

I updated the sys-config file with the new database information, new login, password, etc. I uploaded all new files.

Have you checked the error log?

If you are installing a new WordPress installation and DB on a new URL, there’s no need to update the wp-config.php file. My advice would be to scratch everything you’ve done to this point and just do a clean fresh installation.

I’ll see if my hosting company gives me an error log. I’ll check it.

I think I’m going to have to do that. I’ll see if I can do that tonight.

Did you copy over your .htaccess and, if so, did you remember to change thye RewriteBase to /

I ended up deleting everything off of all domains and re-uploading the files. It worked – I just need to re-do everything I had done previously since I didn’t read ahead first. No biggie.

Thanks all!
