I am trying to get Craft running on the Digital Ocean/ Serverpilot combination I've seen recommended here. Serverpilot is installed on the droplet and running fine. I created an app, uploaded the most recent version of Craft and unzipped it on the server. I renamed htaccess to .htaccess and put the db credentials in db.php.

I get a white screen on example.com and example.com/admin.
So I tried the alternate URLs recommended in Crafts installation guide, still white screen.

I also tried playing around with the omitScriptNameInUrls setting. No luck.

I also tried adding RewriteBase / to my .htaccess file.

I get this in the Apache access log: 82.156.127.145 - - [03/Mar/2016:01:45:59 -0500] "GET /admin HTTP/1.0" 500 - 82.156.127.145 - - [03/Mar/2016:01:46:00 -0500] "GET /admin HTTP/1.0" 500 -

This is in the Nginx access log: 82.156.127.145 - - [03/Mar/2016:01:46:00 -0500] "GET /admin HTTP/1.1" 500 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_3) AppleWebKit/601.4.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.0.3 Safari/601.4.4" "-" 1072 0.014 "0" "0.014" "museumrotterdam.nl"

This is in the PHP access log: 82.156.127.145 - [03/Mar/2016:01:45:59 -0500] "GET /index.php?p=admin" 500 0 - 14106 17679 0.013 3407872 154.23% 0.00% "/admin" 82.156.127.145 - [03/Mar/2016:01:46:00 -0500] "GET /index.php?p=admin" 500 0 - 14106 17679 0.012 3407872 82.35% 0.00% "/admin"

There's nothing in the server's error logs.

When I add 'devMode' => true, to the config Craft does not log any errors.

What else could I try?

  • Anything useful in your web server's errors logs? Or if you enable devMode in Craft's logs?

  • I see a 500 error in the logs when trying to access /admin

  • Craft's logs or your web servers? Regardless, what's the error message being logged?

  • Hrm... nothing in the Apache (or nginx) error logs (not the access log)?

Whenever I've had a completely white screen from Craft I've traced it to a syntax error in one of the files in craft/config, so I'd double-check your db.php and general.php if they've been edited.

    I had looked at these files again and again, the syntax seemed completely correct. Until I noticed a single ' in my randomly generated database-password. Sigh.
