I thought my host had all the requirements for EE but then I began to wonder so I uploaded the Server Wizard, just to make sure, and navigated to that page and guess what I got…?  A blank page.

thriva, can you set up a php info file and see if it works?  Here’s how:

Create a blank file and call it phpinfo.php

Edit it with your favorite HTML editor and put this code in it:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Upload that to your server and visit it in your browser.  Do you get a blank screen or do you get some data? If the latter, look for “display_info” and tell us what that is set to, please?

I got a page… Yes… could send url if it would help.
Didn’t find display_info.
display_errors was set to On
display_startup_errors was set to Off

Ah yes, sorry, display_errors.  Ok, are you still unable to login? or view wizard.php?

If you navigate by FTP to /system/utilities/dbtest.php and download it - can you fill in the variables at the top, upload it, then visit that in your browser and let us know the results?

Results were:

A connection was established to your database server

Your database was selected.

Ok, can you try re-uploading wizard.php, make sure you’re uploading as ascii, and see if it displays the wizard?

Blank page I’m afraid.

Ok, can you try one more thing?  FTP in and delete the copy of wizard.php that is on the server.  Now, download a fresh copy from our requirements page and upload the fresh copy.  We want to make sure that there is no problem with over-writing the file, which is why we’re nuking the one on the server first.

Let us know if that turns up a result =)

Also, can you create a test file, call it test.php, and put this in it:

<?php

echo "Hello World
?>

and visit it in your browser - do you get a blank screen, or an error?

Ah… I see you missed out the closing speech mark which resulted in:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /bla bla bla/test.php on line 4

wizard.php still gets a blank page.

There are 2 files in wizard.zip.
I’ve only been uploading wizard.php… should I be uploading ._wizard.php also?
Looks sparse and weird inside ._wizard.php so I didn’t bother.

Ok, yes, we were trying to force errors to make sure that they were being reported correctly.

wizard.php should not result in a blank page - on the server, is it reporting at higher than 0 bytes?

21.7KB

Can you open up wizard.php and make sure there are no blank lines before the opening <?php statement or after the closing ?>, please?

If that still does not work, can you please email FTP details to me? I’ll need:

FTP URL
ID
Password
Path where EE is installed.

Thanks!

No blank lines.
I’ve sent you the information you requested.
Cheers

Ok, I’ll have a look at it this evening and see if I can spot anything. =)

Thanks!
