Blank page after moving to new server
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,
I'm moving to a new server and I'm still running 5.6.2.1. When I visit my concrete5 website, I just get a blank page.
I am able to get into the Dashboard without issues and everything is working there. I've tried clearing caches and everything, but no cigar.
One thing that partially works is if I visit my website, but add 'index.php'. It then shows me my theme without any content.
How do I figure out what's causing the blank page so I can solve the issue? Any thoughts?

Okay I fixed it. Feel like a noob, but it's been a while since I've done this.
The cause of the blank page was the presence of an 'index.html' file, that was there because it is by default. I removed it, then my page loaded.
When my page loaded, I was missing content, and some php code that was in the custom template I built was visible. That was caused because it was started by a php shorttag instead of the original one, which I apparently haven't enabled yet.
Website works okay now.

Another less likely possibility is caching. Again, the safe tactic is to turn off all caching and clear the cache before moving.
