content of index.php

<?php
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’ );

have you tried to change you prefix in wp-config?

it’s all working now properly.
I’m not using any interface software. only ssh.
I just wanted to add how I mananged to overcome white screen (post #6) even though why it worked that way.

no, I changed database pw/user/adress before copying it into the new host/dir

so… here’s what did for me:

-going to url.com/wp-admin/install.php instead of url.com (which still had white screen of death)
-‘403-forbidden’
-setting user permissions to read/write/execute
-“already installed’ –> login
-url.com = no more white screen

Absolutly no clue why this works, but does for all of my sites…

I didnt switch them of before backing up. I tried to rename the folder within the dir like many tutorials suggest.
I dont use cpanel

–> edit: new wp installation works. Copying my backup files still shows white screen
