Presentation and Plugin Pages Blank

To keep things interesting, there’s no “official” list of permissions. However, there are some “guidelines” (insert usual security disclaimer here).

Make sure that your folders and files are readable by your web server “user”. As a rule of thumb, that translates to setting folders to 755 and php files to 644.

I’m also fine running localhost (db remote though), but when I install WP 2.0.2 on server and log in, I first get redirected to profile.php which only states “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”. When I go to /wp-admin I get no options at all, only the Dashboard page is available. Logged in as admin.

Any clues?

HandySolo: All files are owned by the user for the domain and CHMOD’d 755 for folders and 644 for files.

However, PHP runs under the ‘apache’ user as I had to modify ‘wp-content’ to 777 just to allow the ‘cache’ folder to be created. However, cache is now owned by ‘apache’.

I CHMOD’d the whole WordPress structure 777 but these two pages still don’t work.

Did you do the install by FTP’ing (or scp) files to the server? If so, the .php files have to be transferred in ASCII mode. Perhaps they went in Binary instead? That seems to be a common thread with this latest round of upgrades (along with making sure you delete the old stuff before installing the new stuff (saving off themes and plugins and wp-config first, of course))

Just grasping at this point — never really seen an error like that.

I FTP’d them up but the files were distributed with only LFs and not CR/LFs so in this case it wouldn’t have mattered. Looks like I may have to go delving into the code to find out what’s going on. Maybe a battle for another day! ??

I’m having the sampe problems. Please help me.

Try to add

define(‘DISABLE_CACHE’, true);
set_magic_quotes_runtime(“0”);
ini_set(“magic_quotes_gpc”,”0″);

to your wp-config.php file, that worked for me.
