White screen

[blobby]

Hi'guys,

WAMP was working fine using DW.  However, after uploading my site to my host (using DW), it hasn't worked since.

When I tried to use the DW 'preview in browser' function, all i got was a white screen.  There seemed to be no connection to the server.  If i went to the server itself and viewed a page on there, it worked ok.

I have uninstalled WAMP and reinstalled, and now I cant even get into phpadmin (white screen again).  I cant remember if i have been into phpadmin since it went wrong before the reinstall.

Also, when i try to see phpadmin i get a service running called 'http.exe' and it uses ALL of my resources untill i stop it using task manager.

Can anyone help please....

ok, i 'restored' my computer to a week ago and reinstalled WAMP and it now works.

No idea what i did wrong.

Aaaaaarrrrrrggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has happened again.

After uploading my site using the hosts ftp software, i can no longer connect to localhost (phpadmin or any files on there).

Please can someone help me here.  I dont want to go through reinstalling every time i upload a site.

Many thanks

Can you confirm that Apache is running?

Can you access http://127.0.0.1 ?

When coding form and save as php, I've got white screen if using IE but it works fine w/ Firefox. Not sure if you've got same problem.

sorry for delay in replying.

i cannot connect to any page on the server, including phpadmin.

I installed WAMP5 and all was well untill i uploaded my site to my host using dreamweavers built in ftp client.

After that I could not view any pages on localhost, it tried to open a page for ages (using all of the cpu usage) but just returned nothing (including phpadmin).

I re installed WAMP5 and all was well again.

However, i uploaded my site again using my hosts ftp client,  and the same thing has happened!!

I have tried to view my error log but it's too large to open!! it's 801,814kb.

Sometimes i get the usual 'page cannot be displayed' message.  Mostly tho the page just stays blank (white) untill it times out or i get fed up of waiting!

I have moved the original error file and it put a new one there all by itself.  It has the following errors logged:-

that is at the start of the log, but then this line appears thousands of times :-

Then this lot:-

the 2 lines that have been repeated lots of times make up alomost all of the the 801,814kb file.

  I think that the new log is being continously written to.

hope this helps a bit.


Can anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance

You could edit httpd.conf, add line 'Win32DisableAcceptEx', save, and restart Apache too see if that helps.

Otherwise, the only solution is to not use the built-in DW ftp client as it seems to be doing something very odd to your system.
