I'm getting blank pages

Is your error reporting on? It sounds like you're getting a PHP error that is fatal and you aren't reporting errors. Also, if you know where to find them, look in your apache error_log.

Common causes of blank pages are:

  • directories not writable
  • PHP script error, such as trying to include a file which is not present
  • path to CiviCRM files is not being set properly. Check and recheck civicrm.settings.php, particularly the section
      global $civicrm_root;
      $civicrm_root = '';
      define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR', '' );
      define( 'CIVICRM_UPLOADDIR'          , ''  );
      define( 'CIVICRM_IMAGE_UPLOADDIR'    , '');
      define( 'CIVICRM_CUSTOM_FILE_UPLOADDIR'    , '' );
    
    Compare the paths you typed to those given in the comments.
