Installed – but blank page?

Sounds like the result I had earlier (I was reinstalling) – so you get the Dashboard menus, but the site shows blank?

How I fixed it: I went to Designs, and selected the Classic Theme, refreshed the browser, then clicked Visit Site. My site showed up as the bog-standard blog template. Then I backtabbed to the Dashboard, refreshed the browser, then selected Default Theme. Visit Site again, hey presto, now I can also get it in Kubrick. Finally I uploaded my own themes, and the whole site displays as it did under 2.3.3.

I dont even get the dashboard!

When i type the url for wp-admin, nothing, when I type the actual url of the blog, nothing! Its just blank pages, I tried deleting and re installing but same happened.

I have the exact same problem!

My index.php file looks really weird. It says something like “//* short and sweet *// get template” but in computerish. I downloaded the wordpress files from the site again, and the index.php in there looked the same as well.

I guess it should be bigger than 92 bytes?

I dont know what I am doing wrong, I have done a few blogs no problems! Now this…

The url works fine, I have tried 2 differnet computers, and they both get the same result. Blank page.

OK, this i swhat I did, I opened up cpanel, clicked on Fantastico delux, selected wordpress, clciked new installation, version 2.5.

Then I was on the wordpress page, entrered all the data in the boxes then click install, then finish.

Got configured setup in section 3/3

Then click on the url and wait…and wait this is for the wp admin login.

even when I drop wp-admin I get a blank screen – Why?

Theodeus, my index.php is 92 bytes, and reads:
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

geester, have you tried deleting and reinstalling using an FTP client, rather than Fantastico? Assuming that you can do that with your host; I also used my host’s 1-click install (not Fantastico) when I installed wp2.3.3., but when I fixed my problems I uploaded manually.

I have deleted it and reinstalled it from fantastico. I dont know how to ftp it!
I did this with another site yesterday, no problem – site wa sup and running by following the same simple instructions.

same problem for me, except I also report that the URL to the public page, index.php doesn’t even load a page, but rather displays the index of files in the installation directory.

I believe the problem is in the index path for the blog header page. I had a similar problem and here is what I did to cause the blank page and what I did to fix (rebuild) it:

I had difficulty upgrading to version 2.5 from version 2.0. Before upgrading, I followed the directions to save files and back up my database. After uploading the new files including the wp-config.php file. I could not get the execute the upgrade.php file from my browser.

As a result, I deleted all my files, reinstalled version 2.0 and opened my
//domain.org/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php instead of install.php. After uploading your files, DO NOT install “/wp-admin/install.php”… only upgrade.php to preserve your DB. I had a confirmation of an OK upgrade; however, I could not view my index page that was blank when viewed in my browser. I could view all my posts, login, etc. My wp-config.php file was correct.

I was able fix the problem with my blank index page by editing the path to the wp-blog-header.php file in my index.php file.

Old index.php:

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

New index.php:

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

The index page apparently thought I installed into root.

My files were installed in /wordpress folder. My index.php and wp-blog-header.php files were in the same folder; however, the path for wp-blog-header.php was listed as ./wp-blog-header.php. When I edited the index.php file to change the path to “/wp-blog-header.php”, it worked!

I hope this helps identify the source of this problem.

spoke to my isp, and here is there work around – and it worked perfectly for me.

Here is how to fix… In the account in which you are trying to install word press on, open up the .htaccess file within the accounts public_html folder and add the following line to it:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

Once you put that in, WordPress will magically work
