A few weeks ago I had a huge problem with uploading a Drupal site as the new site. I tried all suggestions on the forum, but nothing worked. I ended having to strip all files from the server and re-upload everything. Now, I am trying to put the Drupal files back on the site, but now the drupal will not show up, and I am sure why. Please check url to see the error. Also I have provided screen shots of the files in my Drupal folder in case I am missing something.

Drupal Site URL: http://www.cehn.org/drupal-5.3/?q=user

Redownload drupal. The default package comes with a .htaccess file. If you can't see it your operating system is hiding it, so google instructions for your OS on showing hidden files.

I did this and noticed that I was missing the index.php (total blonde moment), but when I added it from the downloaded file now it just shows a blank page with nothing on it.

you should have 8 folders and 15 files in the Drupal root.
that includes htaccess

Well, when I re-downloaded Drupal it actually comes with 21 files.

Sorry my total was wrong.. my eyes are not as good as they used to be...
This list is from D6.14

the folders are:

includes
misc
modules
profiles
scripts
sites
themes

the files are:

.htaccess
CHANGELOG.txt
COPYRIGHT.txt
cron.php
index.php
INSTALL.mysql.txt
INSTALL.pgsql.txt
install.php
INSTALL.txt
LICENSE.txt
MAINTAINERS.txt
robots.txt
update.php
UPGRADE.txt
xmlrpc.php

-------------------------
you may want to have a look at your php info.
save this to a file, name it phpinfo.php
goto your site with this url, http://www.cehn.org/drupal-5.3/phpinfo.php
see what the memory limit is.. memory_limit 96M

I don't know that much about D5, since D6 is very much main stream these days.

I get the feeling something may be an issue with the web host,
since you have a white screen and not a server error.
