I can see my Expression Engine page no problems.

I go to my site http://miceland.com/ and there is nothing there.

I did backup my index.php and restored it as instructed.

The upgrades seemed to go like a breeze.

Missing something. Not sure what it is.

Sory to be such an idiot. I read my instructions and i thought followed them to the letter.

Oh and I was even able to post a new post, still nothing.

It sounds like it’s generating a php error- let’s see if we can force it to show the error.  First- go to your control panel, ‘Admin- System Prefs- Output and Debug’- make sure it’s set to show php errors to superadmins- and then make sure you’re logged in on the frontend.  Anything show?  If there’s still nothing- see this kblog entry on forcing an error- depending on the server setup, that might get the error showing.  Once we know what’s breaking, should be an easy fix.

Robin, Thank you first for replying.

This setting was already at the level you describe. But no where to log onto on my site, just a blank page.

Still no indication that anything is awray from the EE Admin. All my entries are there and golden.

from the kblog entry

There are a few reasons why going to the front page on an EE site would result in a blank page:

1.  The path to the system directory in path.php is incorrect.  This needs to be a relative path.
2. There is a blank space after the ?> of path.php or index.php.

My path.php is completely blank!

That may have something to do with it. 🐛

Have a look at this wiki article =)

Yes.

I backed everything up a couple different ways, so I should be able to find it.

Thank you.

I know it seems obvious, but not to us Neanderthals.

I found and old path.php and put it in my expression engine directory.

Either that is not where it is supposed to go or it does not have the right path in it.

My most recent backups of this file are 0 bites, not sure why.

What did you put into the path.php and where did you upload to, and what happened as a result of that?

——————sorry too revealing.

Can you upload index.php to that directory?  It seems that it might just be missing.

I see an index.php in a directory below that in my ee dir

Should I redirect my path there???
Wait it looks like it is already pointing there.

I apologize for my confusion. I’m sure I am missing something obvious here.

Let’s start over.

1. Where did you install EE initially?

2. Are you wanting to have EE drive your entire site?

3. Where did you have a path.php, and what about your config.php and config.bak.php files? Where are they?

4. What is the name of your default template group?

5. Are you using any sort of .htaccess file?

——————sorry too revealing.

So in theory to get to your control panel, it’s in the /expreng/miceland directory? Is miceland an addon-domain, or what exactly?

Its the only domain.

Can you create a superadmin login for me to go take a look? I’d also need FTP access so I can make changes to your path.php if needed.

If you can send that over to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), that would be great.
