No problems in firefox or IE7 but when I try to access my site through IE6 it just takes me to a blank white page. I have tried emptying and turning off cache and neither have been successful. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

The site is http://chibabeat.com

I had a problem like this and it turned out that I had to add more memory to the PHP configuration file on the web server. HTH.

If it were a memory problem then I wouldn't be able to see it through any browser right? Firefox and IE 7 are fine for me.

I've exactly the same problem. It my case only if I turn off the caching I can view the drupal sides with IE 5.5, 6 or 7. With using the cachin IE will show a white site with that source code:

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
HTML HEAD
META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" HEAD
BODY style="ZOOM: 100%"/BODY/HTML

I realy dont understand this behavior and the depending of the caching from IE. Does sombody know why that happens and has a solution?

I’m seeing this same issue on a site I recently developed: http://www.mdrcc.com/

IE7, Firefox, and Safari can all see the site without issue. Only IE6 displays a white screen.

If I change the "Caching mode" from "Normal (recommended, no side effects)" to "Disabled", then IE6 can see the site.

I have had the same issue. I got a white screen only with IE6 and then turned off caching and bam! Started working again.

This seems to be host-dependent. I have had it with Godaddy but not others. Check if emptying the browser cache brings back the display.

I also have this issue. My host is godaddy. Is the only solution to change hosts? I'd hate to switch and have the same problem, not too mention it's a hassle.

Perhaps there is a way to stop it with Godaddy, but I don't know it. I do know, though, that the same web site of mine shifted to another host works perfectly, as does my copy on my local machine.

who did you switch to and which plan?

Drupal Value Hosting, basic plan. It has worked fine for me, although so many others complain that I wonder if I have been lucky, or if they are unlucky. It's a mystery.
