Joomla Blank Screen After Upgrade

ByReid Walley

Upgraded a Joomla 2.5 Component and suddenly both my Admin and Frontend were a blank screen. Ugh!

Time to debug: root > configuration.php > public $error_reporting = ‘default’;

Change the word default to maximum.

FTP: set permissions of configuration.php on server to 777; upload configuration.php from local to server. View all the pretty error messages. Change local configuration.php file’s public $error_reporting line back to default; upload to server; set server’s configuration.php permissions back to 644.

Go fishing!
