“Visit Site” produces a blank screen – AGAIN and STILL

  • I have increased php memory up to 512M by modifying the php.ini in /usr/local/lib along with .htaccess, php.ini and cache.php in blog/wp-includes. Following these mods I stopped and restarted Apache. None of this changed anything: there are still no php errors in the Apache error log, and all I get is a blank screen although many other WordPress functions (e.g., blog entry) work.

    I also get an error when launching wp-settings.php:

    Warning: require(ABSPATHwp-includes/compat.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/apache2/stock-compass/htdocs/blog/wp-settings.php on line 238

    Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘ABSPATHwp-includes/compat.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /usr/local/apache2/stock-compass/htdocs/blog/wp-settings.php on line 238

    What can I do that will make this work?

    Is it actually spitting out ABSPATH? Sounds like that’s not being picked up from your wp-config.

    NM, Apache. Uh. What’s in your wp-config file?

    Thanks for getting back to me! Here’s the wp-config file (without some of the comments).

    <?php

    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

    /** WordPress absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
    if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

    /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */

    require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

    FYI, you should keep your KEYs secret (AUTH, Secure, etc).

    This:

    if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

    is correct, but it looks like it’s not being parsed for some reason. Assuming this is a new install, make sure you copied up everything.

    What version of PHP is on your server? I doubt it matters at this point, and I’m poking around for this error message.

    php-5.2.8 – I downloaded it and installed it as part of the WordPress install. I think I will try re-installing everything (i.e., WordPress) again.

    Do you think this is related to the blank screen problem?

    Thanks again,

    I’m not sure. I see mention of how it’s related to SQL and PHP, or a config file not having spaces.

    PHP 5.2.8 is what I have, so I know that’s okay. It could be a server setup issue, but I can’t think of why that would show itself that way. I need someone smarter…
