    I upgraded from 1.67 to 1.73. The upgrade was successful. No errors were reported.

    I have white screens on both the front AND back ends. I can’t log in, and the site doesn’t come up at its URL.

    The database seems fine. I see data in there.

    What can be the fatal flaw?

    config.php and path.php look fine.

    I’m kinda freaking out here.

    I was able to get it to work by completely wiping the db, restoring my backup and upgrading to 1.72. From what I can tell from previous posts, 1.73 doesn’t like older versions of PHP, and this site is at 4.39.

    So, freakout over!

    Hi Debra,

    Well EE 1.7.3 should be fine with PHP 4.3.9 (the minimum requirement is 4.1), but I’m glad you found a solution! If there’s anything else we can help with, let us know!
