    Hi, I’ve been trying to move my expression engine site over to a new server following the instructions found here:
    http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/130555/

    Once I complete all the steps and try to navigate to my control panel I just get a blank page.

    I have double/triple checked all of my database info, config file info and i think the index.php file is set up correctly.. but still no luck.

    also, i even ran the server compatibility wizard even though i know this host supports EE - and it came back saying EE was ready to install.

    Here is the site in question:
    http://174.136.32.19/~lucysdog/index.php


    Your help would be greatly appreciated, was trying to get this moved over today.

    Thank you!

    Hi yankeyhotel,

    Please edit you system/index.php file and switch on debugging:

    /*
     * --------------------------------------------------------------------
     *  ERROR REPORTING OVERRIDE
     * --------------------------------------------------------------------
     *
     * PHP and database errors are normally displayed dynamically based
     * on the authorization level of each user accessing your site.  
     * This variable allows the error reporting system to be overridden, 
     * which can be useful for low level debugging during site development, 
     * since errors happening before a user is authenticated will not normally 
     * be shown.  Options:
     *
     *    $debug = 0;  Default setting. Errors shown based on authorization level
     *
     *    $debug = 1;  All errors shown regardless of authorization
     *
     * NOTE: Enabling this override can have security implications.
     * Enable it only if you have a good reason to.
     * 
     */
        $debug = 1;

    That should show us any error that is causing the blank screen.

    Cheers

    Greg
