Screenshot shows up, but Theme is blank. Help Please

Sounds to me the theme is not quite valid.
The screenshot doesn’t mean anything, since it’s a png, called screenshot.png. Two files in a wordpress theme are mandatory: index.php and style.css.

What files are in your template directory?

Peter

Here are the files in my template directory. I also have images in a sub-directory in the same folder.

comments.php
footer.php
functions.php
header.php
home.php
index.php
panel.php
screenshot.png
sidebar.php
style.css

From looking at these can you tell if im missing something?

I did notice that when I try to preview the index.php file, i get the following error message:

“The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log.”

What does that mean?

Viewing from where?

• With your browser? In that case the file contains invalid php code.
• From your admin panel? I guess the file is corrupt.

Both situations could lead to a non-diplaying site. What does the apache log say (if you got access to it, that is)?

It is both blank when viewing in the browser and from the admin panel. Im not familiar with the apache log. How do I find it?

Well, I fixed the problem. I guess the theme that I was trying to use was not compatiable to the wordpress 2.7. I updated to the new version of wordpress and BAM! there my site was. Thanks.
