installing - blank web page

lageraghty / 2013-01-25 00:34:45   

I'm trying to install indexhibit and i've uploaded the files to the root folder and changed the permissions of the correct folders to 777.
when i key in mywebsitename.com/ndxzstudio/… all that comes up is a blank page? why is this happening?

This could be caused by a couple things...

- wrong or odd permissions on files
- files not fully uploaded (FTP does this all the time)

What some people do when they install is set permissions 'recursively' meaning EVERY file and that will kill everything. Check your permissions on files...should be...

- 644 files
- 755 folders
- 777 on the things we say

all files have been uploaded and correct permissions have been put on the files

Hello,

"The requirements to install Indexhibit are quite simple. Your webhost should be compatible with the following specifications (you should ask them if it's not clear for you):
- Apache server (not Windows)
- PHP 5 or greater
- MySQL 4 or greater
- optionally, ask them if they allow mod_rewrite for "clean urls""
