WordPress white screen
I just spent two hours trying to get a new WordPress installation working on a test server. After reinstalling “everything” I checked back with tail -f /var/log/php_error.log and started to see some familiar messages about missing includes files:
PHP Fatal error: require() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required
Relating to /wp-includes/load.php’ and wp_settings
To cut a long story short, if you get a white screen on a new WordPress installation it’s probably *not* showing you the error that’s appearing in a logfile. And if that’s the case, try re-uploading all your files first before giving up.
