It’ll tell you what’s what. * Thread Starter [NemesisFS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nemesisfs/) * (@nemesisfs) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-errors/#post-1992977) * [ this is the info.php file of my server](http://46.163.73.194/info.php) * i tried to search errors, didnt find any, and thats it, sry that im so stupid but i rly dont know what to do more… * [Rachel Baker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rachelbaker/) * (@rachelbaker) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-errors/#post-1992978) * I have had that happen before and it was due to a lost connection with the database. Log into your hosting account and verify that the database information referenced in your wp-config.php file is correct. * [margonline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/margonline/) * (@margonline) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-errors/#post-1992979) * I’m having the same issue – could you be more specific please as I think I may need to change the d/b info int he wp-config.php file but I dont know what to change it to. Thanks – really just blindly trying to get a blog going for a friend and utterly failing. * [thanatica2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thanatica2/) * (@thanatica2) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-errors/#post-1992980) * DB should be easy as pie. * If the server is all yours, you *should* know how to create a database and make a username/password for it. If not, find someone who knows what he’s doing 😉 * If it’s a shared hosting environment, then your hoster should provide a DB-server address (could be localhost, but may as well be an IP-address), database-name, username and password. * Fill it in and it should work. * Funny thing is, if it doesn’t work, WP should tell you what’s wrong, afaik. * Thread Starter [NemesisFS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nemesisfs/) * (@nemesisfs) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-errors/#post-1992981) * i will check for the db connection (i remember now, it was reason for a whitescreen at installation) but since i didnt change anything, and my gf, who uses the blog does not have priviliges to neither change the wp-config nor the db password ( and i really dont think, an attacker would hack my server, just to provoce a wordpress whitescreen) im not sure if its reason for the problem. * i dont think that i know what im doing, like a systemadministrator does, but im not doing that bad xP * and please excuse my english its propably not that good. * edit: and excuse this whole thread: im really an idiot, looks like someone (me?!) shut down the mysql server, i will see if i can rename myself to “troll” SORRY! * for the ones, who are experiencing the same issue: looks like a white screen comes from: – broken db connection – plugins – themes * [margonline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/margonline/) * (@margonline) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-errors/#post-1992982) * hosting provided by GoDaddy so presumably shared hosting. I’ve set up a database and changed the relevant fields in the wp-config.php file, but now I get directed to the welcome page i.e. wp-admin/install.php. I shouldn’t have to re-install this should I? Thanks alot for your help! * Thread Starter [NemesisFS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nemesisfs/) * (@nemesisfs) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-errors/#post-1992983) * i dont really understand, what you did already: have you installed the blog or just filled out wp-config? because after this, you have to install the blog first, thats why you are redirected to install.php * [margonline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/margonline/) * (@margonline) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-errors/#post-1992984) * I installed wordpress and created a blog using a theme template and hosted it locally using MAMP. I’m trying to upload it to a remote site hosted at GoDaddy. I thought all I needed to do was transfer all the files. If I install the blog will I lose all the posts which have already been created? * [margonline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/margonline/) * (@margonline) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-errors/#post-1992986) * see NemesisFS penultimate post – the d/b connection was faulty. here is a good tutorial to help with uploading wordpress from a local site to a remote site [http://www.revolution-media.net/index.php/2009/07/how-to-move-wordpress-website-from-localhost-to-the-destination-server](http://www.revolution-media.net/index.php/2009/07/how-to-move-wordpress-website-from-localhost-to-the-destination-server) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘White Screen, no errors’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 11 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [margonline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/margonline/) * Last activity: [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-errors/#post-1992986) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
