Logins Still Hang to Blank Page – What I’ve Tried

  • Greetings –

    I’ve spent countless hours this week and tried everything possible I can. Can anyone please help?

    Running WordPress 2.8.4 on godaddy, Linux, PHP 5+

    HISTORY:

    – Blog was working fine before this
    – Needed to move blog to a new server
    – Backed up database
    – Installed fresh wp files via godaddy (files automatically installed)
    – Preserved new fresh wp-config file with new database name
    – Restored database ‘into’ new database (worked fine)
    – Copied all other former files over ‘but for’ the former wp-config file

    [I have done the above three times now]

    Newly relocated blog populated and looks and is working fine.

    PROBLEM NOW: The login page hangs on a BLANK PAGE after entering login and password so no one can log in.

    – Worked fine on other server before the move
    – Worked fine on a ‘practice install’ on another directory
    – Same problem on IE and Firefox
    – Browser caches and cookies emptied repeatedly
    – Did a Comodo system cleanup to ensure cache fully empty
    – Reinstalled 2 times (so 3 times total); all have same problem
    – Deactivated (renamed) plugin directory (all were current)
    – Confirmed by phpMyAdmin database table that urls, username are correct
    – Reset password and replaced appropriate MD5 encoded pw
    – Replaced wp_login file with fresh untouched version (same file size)
    – Moved .htaccess file, didn’t work, so put it back
    – Confirmed no extra blank lines at end of functions.php file
    – Tried logging out with the longer manual logout string
    – Requesting new passwords do not resolve the issue

  • if either one of you want me to look at it I will.

    Thanls. What’s the come up? comeuphither one word?

    yes

    edit – just got a notice my email server is down temporaily
    if it does not go through, try again in a while

    Yep server down.

    Please inform us of when server is up again.

    I think wp-supercache is the problem.

    I deleted the plugin but in my wp-content folder there is still a folder called ‘cache’ and even after deleting it, it reappears.

    look in wp-config.php for this line
    define('WP_CACHE', false);
    if yours is true , set to false and test

    I will be in touch as well, THANK YOU.

    I think something is clashing in the database. Perhaps I can take out some of the plugins in phpMyAdmin. Perhaps simply renaming the plugins folder is not enough.

    Last time when I moved and it worked, I could disable things in the admin panel, like permalinks, then reenable them. I am wondering if changing the database ‘before’ restoring is the key.

    Resolutions to these problems

    had two carriage returns in wp-config.php

    her problem was a bit trickier. As you can see from her OP, she did almost everything you would think would work and I repeated most of her steps to verify.
    As it turns out, here premium theme’s functions.php had two misplaced carriage returns in the middle of the file. Removing these made the admin side of the site come up.

    Thank you!
