Site displaying a blank page

Hi everyone,
I checked my site this morning and it's just displaying blank. What could have happened? Where should I start looking?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi,

check if any of root files got edited .....
or add display error report in your index or so since you use 6.9(not got ask why your still on 6.9)
with your ftp you can look at the dates of your files,see if they are changed...
or changes on the server?
Just to name a few..

No dates have changed on the root files - I'm on Ravens server so i wouldn't expect anything there to break Smile

I'll try the error reporting

Thanks

Are other pages showing (e.g. the admin page)? It could be a problem with an RSS feed, but also check your includes directory for changes.

No - the other pages are not displaying either

Here's what the server error log is showing:

[Fri Jul 14 08:23:37 2006] [error] PHP Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/home/xxxxxx/public_html/modules.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

None of the include files have been modified - disk space is ok

If your modules.php exists, check the permissions on it to make sure that it can be read and executed by all.

a safe-mode problem perhaps?

Looks like all the files in the root folder are 000 - should I change them to 644?

folders should be 755 and files in the root 644

Just so you know that I have sites on his servers and they are working fine. So, this might rule out a server-level change, or at least lessons the odds.

isnt it a bit weird that it all changed to 000 ?
storebuilder,if this had any effect on your modules then you have to activate again...

Absolutely! Can he even change those back now?

If this turns out being the issue, I'd check with Raven on this but also start reviewing your server logs... Sad

Yeah _ I realise thats a problem. I'll wait for the man himself before I start screwing it up royally.

You should try to change one, at least. You'll either be able to or not. Pick a non-essential file.

The Turks again. There still several people who haven't put the modules/Forums/admin CGIAuth in place!!!!! Until that's done, the server is vulnerable. I'm going to send out 1 last notice and then if people don't comply they will be suspended Mad

Raven · Posted: Fri Jul 14, 2006 1:02 pm

I've restored the permissions.

Thanks Raven - Let me know what I need to do and I'll have it done straight away.

Thanks again.
