Hello everyone,

I've set my first distro (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and installed all the packages required to host a web site including: Apache2, PHP, MySQL and a firewall.

I've pointed my domain name at my new IP Address and am able to ping successfully.

I've added a DNS record and set the reverse DNS.

A simple index page has been uploaded with a line of PHP and a line of HTML.

The domain name seems to resolve (http://www.alancoleman.me.uk/) however I'm just seeing a blank white page with no content or errors.

Can anyone think of a reason for this?

Many thanks

Okay, It's a PHP issue because I've just created an html file via ssh and it's working fine.

Thoughts on what could be wrong with my PHP config?

Thanks

I see "This is a test. Hello World index.html."

Thanks for looking, this is an html page which would suggest my issue is with PHP.

http://www.alancoleman.me.uk/index.html

http://www.alancoleman.me.uk/index.php

My access log is returning what looks like a 500 error:

GET /index.php HTTP/1.1" 500 275

Thanks

Boomfelled,
Do you have error reporting turned on? You could have errors but not know it because error reporting is turned off.


MSJ

Thanks for replying. Yes I have display_errors turned on in:

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

I also restarted apache after making this change.

Thanks again

The html page has code in it, but the php page seems to be completely empty.

Boomfelled,
Do you happen to have an htaccess file in the root directory of the site? If so it may be overriding the settings in php.ini


MSJ

Thanks MSJ,

No I have no .htaccess in my root. However I don't recall editing a .htaccess file during the setup process.

Thanks again.
