I upgraded from, I think, 6.8 to 6.10. I simply copied all files execpt /sites, /themes, .htaccess to the host. Now it displays a blank screen - please help - urgent.
I have since gone back to 6.8, same blank screen. I restored the database to yesterday, same blank screen. I tried to run update.php from blank screen, same error - same blank screen.
Any ideas are MUCH appreciated!!

Maybe index.php?
The "WSOD" (white screen of death) does not always have THE ONE answer, but:
I had that once, and what had happened that during the update my index.php got lost, it got copied over, but it was empty (0 bytes). Therefore nothing showed up. Check your index.php and your FTP-log, whether anything didn't get copied properly.
Thanks. I checked and
Thanks. I checked and index.php is in there fine. I reset the settings.php - I am clueless as to why this is happening.
Any other ideas or places to look or links to read?
Many thanks.

any ideas?
Well, the first error is in
Well, the first error is in your cache table, which you can simply empty without problems, that's like clearing your cache.
The second error is in your url_aliases table, maybe you could elaborate how you have set the "content/welcome" page up and aliased it, etc.
Check your user permissions and role assignments.
Make sure your user roles are appropriately assigned permissions and that the user you are testing with is assigned to an appropriate role.
(Just had the same problem, ended up slapping my forehead then slamming my head on the desk a few times...feeling much better now, thanks...)
