I acidentally deleted my config.php page from my server and after creating a new one based on one from another EE site, the site is now visible again.
The problem now is that I can’t login to the control panel. The login page is just a blank screen. Have I missed something on the config.php page?
Thanks

Is your path.php still there? That said, can you post your config.php (minus personal information like passwords etc.)?

Here’s what I’ve got:
<?php if ( ! defined ( 'EXT' )) { exit( 'Invalid file request' ); } 'app_version' ] = "164" ; $conf[ 'license_number' ] = "" ; $conf[ 'debug' ] = "1" ; $conf[ 'install_lock' ] = "1" ; $conf[ 'db_hostname' ] = "xxxx" ; $conf[ 'db_username' ] = "xxxx" ; $conf[ 'db_password' ] = "xxxx" ; $conf[ 'db_name' ] = "xxxx" ; $conf[ 'db_type' ] = "mysql" ; $conf[ 'db_prefix' ] = "exp" ; $conf[ 'db_conntype' ] = "0" ; $conf[ 'system_folder' ] = "system" ; $conf[ 'cp_url' ] = "http://www.mddcdance.co.uk/12345/index.php" ; $conf[ 'doc_url' ] = "http://expressionengine.com/docs/" ; $conf[ 'cookie_prefix' ] = "" ; $conf[ 'is_system_on' ] = "y" ; $conf[ 'allow_extensions' ] = "n" ; $conf[ 'multiple_sites_enabled' ] = "n" ; ?>

Well, that should be good. pth.php is OK? You actually have a directory named, well whatever it is you changed it to (I edited it out in your sample)?

path.php seems ok:
$system_path = “./system/”;

Where “system” is your changed path, correct?

No just a blank page still where the login page should be. Doesn’t say ‘page not found’ though.

ahh. okay, there’s probably an unhappy file or two that’s causing it to bork.
Check out this KB Entry . Make the changes to the index.php file in your system folder to try to force errors.
Let us know what results that gives you.
Also, what version & build are you running?

The index.php already has this line of code in it.

so you have already set /system/index.php from:
error_reporting ( 0 );
to:
error_reporting ( E_ALL );
And have you tried to add:
ini_set ( 'display_errors' , 1 );
as well?

Sorry I made a mistake. I get the errors:
Warning: require(path.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /htdocs/xxx/index.php on line 96
Warning: require(path.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /htdocs/xxx/index.php on line 96
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘path.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/pear-php5’) in /htdocs/xxx/index.php on line 96
mod edit: obfuscated system paths.

ah, okay!
Do you have a path.php file in the root level of your site?

Yes:
<?php
//———————————————————————————
//———————————————————————————
$system_path = “./system/”;
//———————————————————————————
$template_group = “”;
?>

What are the permissions of your path.php file set to?
