“Visit Site” produces a blank screen

  • Just about everything else seems to work. I can log in, add users, add and edit posts, and perform various administrative functions. Virtually none of the php files in my “blog” directory work – they either produce an appropriate error (e.g., wp-register says “user registration is currently not allowed”) or produce a blank screen.

    A hint for what is wrong may come from my launching wp-settings.php: it produces an error saying that it couldn’t open compat.php: “Warning: require(ABSPATHwp-includes/compat.php)”. Compat.php exists in the wp-includes directory but, clearly, the ABSPATH variable is not being set correctly. What is it in the settings that I need to fix to correct this? Do you think this is causing all of the problems?

  • blank pages are usually indicative of php errors or low php memory

    bump php memory to 32M

    look in php error logs for clue

    The apache error logs contain php errors for files that can’t be opened but nothing about too little memory. I increased the memory first to 32M and then to 64M, and then to 256M by putting ini_set() into the beginning of cache.php and also adding .htaccess and php.ini with similar entries.

    Couldn’t this problem have something to do with my second paragraph above? It seems to me that there has to be something wrong with the way that ABSPATH is being set, but it is unclear to me the appropriate way to fix this.
