Error after login, fresh install

Well, first off, I would check my directory permissions to make sure the directories were 755

okay. THanks. I’ll try that, I’ll look for what your talking about, but i’ll ask in advance, where can I find my directory permissions. Or what exactly are they. I’ll look for what you are talking about, but I don’t know if i’ll find them lol, thats why I’m asking in advance.

Okay, well you can telnet in on secure shell, or, easier is to use an FTP client like SmartFTP where you can right click on the folder, chose properties, and there will be a CHMOD there. Set to read-write-execute, read-execute, read-execute (755)…which, btw, is usually automatic when directories are made, but some hosts require you to set them manually.

If you installed your wordpress manually, you’ll need to go to the docs and find out which files need what permissions, then set them accordingly, which can be more easily accomplished via ssh (secure shell)…if you are familiar with working on the shell.

Another thing, IF you hand-installed the files via FTP upload, I hope you made sure to upload everything except the image files forced ascii…right? If you used an installer, they should have been uploaded correctly, so don’t worry that then.

Next, check your servers error logs. That will give you information about what file or operation is failing. They are located in root.

so I need to go through every file and change directory permissions to 755? Wow this might take a while lol. I use ixwebhosting. our shell system is web shell. Will that work as good as secure shell?

No. Whoa. Hang on. First, go to your server logs. That would solve a whole bunch of things right there if we knew what exactly was failing.

Check your error logs. What do you see?

Next: Did you use an installer or did you manually upload your files? If you manually uploaded, did you force ascii on the proper files?

oh sorry, I see go to Docs and check, I thought you meant check all the documents. lol. I hand installed with filezilla ftp client then used the link it said in 5 minute install… my site in there instead of example.com of course. I’ll check to see if the files you mentioned are in there.

Thanks

Here, I copy and pasted my logs directly from my webshell. i’m not sure if this is what you where talking about. I’ll see if there are some on filezilla.

So, more questions. What’s your URL. You said you logged into WordPress and got a blank page. So your login isn’t taking you to your wp-admin? It’s just throwing a white page? Reload your wp-admin files forced ascii would be one possible…but see what your error logs are saying.

Well my webpage url is simpleswingreviews.com

the url I get when I get the error is https://simpleswingreview.com/simpleswingreviewblog/wp-admin/

On other pages people talk about php verification. I use ixwebhosting, Im pretty sure they are php verified. and when they talk about index.php verification, is that a type of setting that has to be set, or do I have to do that for every index.php I have in my files?

Inside those files, you should see code hash the server writes telling you what happened when. You’ll need to open them in a text editor like NoteTab or in NotePad or WordPad (found on your Start>Programs>Accessories menu.

I,m not sure what ascii is? or forcing it is? I just used the 5 minute install? it didn’t say anything about that?

oh okay.
i’ll check them out that way.
