see blank screen after upgrade

im using secure copy to upload the files and they are in the write directory for the server
i can read the html files in my server directory

If the php files end up ’empty’ on your server you have an upload problem.

I have a similar problem with deleting the 1.2 folder from Plugin Manager which I had deactivated because it was not working for me. It still sits there on my server. I created a new (empty) folder for my 1.5 WP. Scotto15 did you have the plugin manager installed there as well?

i dont believe i have plugin manager

okay

what do you mean by plugin manager, is it the folder where the plugins are stored

if i kept my old wp-content folder with my plugins I had before, that couldn’t have hurt it at all would it?

Everything one my installation seems to be there except for fact that it doesn’t seem to see the main page. I can see all of my posts and everything in the admin pages, but I can’t see the index page.

Somehow the templates folder didn’t get uploaded. Duh.

Hi,

I’ve got a blank page after the update too, but none of these solutions above are helping me. Here’s what I’ve done:

I was updating from an earlier 1.5 nightly. I deleted everything except my index.php, wp-config.php, wp-layout.css, and my wp content folder. Then I uploaded the new files and the upload was successfull. I went to the upgrade script with my browser, it was there and I clicked the “have fun” hyperlink. The screen went blank. I tried to run the scrip again, but still blank. Went to bed, looked again this am, still blank.

Did I do anyhing obviously wrong?
# /wp-content/themes/ (for WP v1.5)
# index.php (you may have split it up into several parts; keep them all)
# wp-config.php (pay attention not to delete this file accidentally)
# wp-layout.css (or whatever you have chosen to call your customized style sheet)
# wp-comments.php and wp-comments-popup.php (if you have customized them; otherwise, you can safely delete them)

any other suggestions for why i cant get anything to display when i uploaded

i fixed my problem, but the other problem im facing is why it takes so long to login

Scotto15 can you please tell how you fixed your problem?

My permissions were not set correctly

This might be obvious and probably doesn’t apply to all of the above cases, but make sure that the theme you’re using before the upgrade is still there/put back after the upgrade.
