    Hi

    I’m moving a finished EE site from the dev server to the live one & I’m getting a blank admin/homepage. If I turn on debug, I get an error message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method CI_Config::site_prefs() in /system/path/admin/expressionengine/libraries/Core.php on line 152

    The directory is correct for the file. I’ve checked the permissions are all correct & updated the $system_path in admin.php & index.php. I’ve also updated the database cache dir.

    Is there anything I am missing?

    Hi, Ewan.

    I found this thread: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/184025/

    Does any of that sound like it might be the problem?

    Thanks for the prompt reply. I’ve had a look at that thread but I’ve checked all the permissions & everything looks to be set correctly.

    Looking at some of the other threads, how did you move the site from a local install to the live install? Did you install 2.x on the server, then just migrate the database?

    No, I just copied the whole thing over to the new server. I’ll try a fresh install followed by an import.

    Hi, Ewen -

    Let us know if that helps.  If it doesn’t, the next steps will be to ensure that you have PHP error reporting on for the server and for EE, so that we can see what that white screen is hiding.  That’s almost always a PHP error. =)

    Let us know if the install/move helps!

    Looks like it might have been an issue that occured during FTP. I reuploaded the whole system directory & it started working fine.

    Thanks for all the help!
