Help! Blank Site!

  • Help! Blank Site!

    Posted 16 years 9 months ago
    • So I went to my ParkwayAcademy.org site today to find that it was blank.

      No, really... just a blank page. The only source code that was loading was the first line of a blog table:
      <table class="blog" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td valign="top"><div>

      The backend seems fine... although there were a number of components that I could not edit, throwing an error, but they were, more or less, not being used and, more or less, uninstalled normally. I also uninstalled any related modules and bots, but the site still won't come up.

      Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong? I don't even know how long it has been like this - it could be a day or two, or it could even be as much as a couple of weeks (I don't check it all that often).

      The host recently upgraded to php 5.2, but they insist that isn't it, and reverted back to previous versions to show that the site doesn't work under any version of php.

      I have switched templates, but that doesn't make a difference... so I can eliminate Colormatic as the culprit.

      I've turned off and back on various modules... so I'm assuming it is a Joomla core file, but I have no idea where to go from here.

      Thanks in advance for any advice you all may be able to offer!!

    • Any chance that you have backups of the site and the database? [he says with fingers crossed]

      Best of luck.

    • Of course not. ;D

      I have full access to the backend, so I suppose if I remove and re-install Joomla, I could probably get back to where I was pretty easily.

      I didn't have all that much custom... just some of the graphics and whatnot for colormatic, and I have that folder backed up.

    • Just a shot in the dark here, and maybe a red herring, but here goes. What version of Joomla are you using? If it is an older version, maybe maybe maybe updating it to the latest version may help. [big maybe]

      Just thinking out loud, best of luck!

    • Thanks, Roland... I thought of that one, too.

      I was on .12, and upgraded to .13 earlier today, but that didn't clear it up.

      I'll probably have to marinate on it for a day or so, then I'll prep for a reinstall.

    • Both of you ought to log in the admin backend and disable SEF - if it is enabled - in the Global Configuration - see if that helps.
      See this thead .

      Sorry, no... I just rebuilt it from scratch.

      I didn't have SEF enabled. I still have no clue what happened.

    • Hi,

      I backed everything up (db & site files), reinstalled joomla 1.10.13 and crossed my fingers. I now have access to the backend and I reloaded the database, so far so good. the frontend works with only rhuk's solarflare default template, but no longer with firenzie

      I tried copying from the old site the firenzie template directory, I could chose it in template manager, but when I set it as default, I get the white page. So I tried to delete the template and the server boots me out. SO I deleted the directory in fetch and tried to reload a virgin copy of Firenze. it won't let me (probably because there are still remnant files from previous install??)

      I don't have SEF enabled either.

      I have no idea what to look for anymore...nicole

    • Have you tried installing a different RT template just to see if it works?
