Installation Help

That has happened to me on a shared hosting server.

What I did was let it sit for a few (could be a server cache issue not sure or a load balancing issue) but after about 15 or 20 minutes, it was displaying fine. The only thing I had to do since my initial password was missing was go to the login page and have it resend you the password/create new password.

Least that worked for me.

Thanks for your answer!
But there's still the same blank page :(
Does anybody know what it could be else?

Just thought I'd mention that I have it running on xampp with no problems...

Yeah, but I get the same blank page...

have you tried looking at the source code of the blank page... I often get the blank page problem during block and especially during theme development and sometimes looking at the source gives an indication of where the page stopped loading.

Wandered if anyone ever worked out what the problem was here?

I have just updated a site and experiencing the same problem.

It had an old version of 5.1 on,

I have since tried updating and a full fresh install but each time I get this blank page.

Hoping someone managed to figure out what it was,

It would appear to be hanging on the render function in the dispatcher.
At least I can not get it to echo out after this function.

Is your /config/site.php file empty? If it is then manually update it with the appropriate information:

define('DB_SERVER', 'xxxx');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'xx');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'xxxx');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'xx');
define('BASE_URL', 'http://mysite.com');
define('DIR_REL', '/');
define('PASSWORD_SALT', 'xxxxxxxxxxx');

Just did that, seems to work! But after login I can't see my c5-menu-bar. What ist PASSWORD_SALT ?

password_salt is something internal.. Makes sure hash values are harder to predict. Nothing you have to worry about
