I stumbled across a new solution to heal the white screen of death… I tried everything else, and nothing worked so far…
My scenario was that I was going to update from 3.6 to 3.8 but that did not work, pressing the update button just gave me a “WSOD”, and nothing else…
Then I manually updated the site by uploading the files with FTP 3rd party software.
This sort of worked of one of my websites.
The new experience came when I ran a new and fresh wordpress installation. I have always used the 5 min install procedure that includes editing the config.sample file and renaming it.
Well, that did not do anything good for me. As my hair was becoming thinner I decided to delete my wp-config.php file using my FTP software and then reloading my page.
The shit too me through a setup to configure a new config file because it was missing i the first place.
Yeah, thats my experience. Happy hunting!
