OpenCart Community

I'd be really grateful if anyone could help with a problem I'm having at http://www.classic-modern.co.uk.

I've just moved to a new host and I followed the procedure in the Opencart documentation:
- Made copies of old database and store files from old server
- Set up empty database on new server
- Did clean install of same version of Opencart (1.5.1.1)
- Emptied database (dropped tables) and imported old database data
- Replaced all new store files with old ones except config.php and admin/config.php

Then when I go to the store front everything looks just as it did on my old server. But when I log in to admin I get a completely blank screen.

The same thing happens in Safari, Firefox, Opera and Chrome. I've tried flushing the browser caches and have used Terminal to flush the DNS cache on my computer (Mac). I've repeated the entire reinstall procedure several times and the same thing happens each time.

Any suggestions how to fix this will be gratefully received!
Thanks a lot, Julia
ps Sorry, forgot to mention I am on an Apache/Linux/cPanel configuration, having moved from a Zeus/Linux/Plesk setup.

sounds like there's a php error

can you check your apache logs to see if an error is reported

also try emptying the system/cache folder apart from index.html

and make sure your paths are correct in admin/config.php

Many thanks Simon! And many thanks too to my new hosts krystal.co.uk who I also asked for help and who pointed me in a similar direction. For the benefit of anyone else having a similar problem, this was the solution.

The error logs at system/logs/error.txt were giving this error:
Being a technology dunce and an Opencart newbie (but huge fan), I hadn't known that that error log existed. But when I looked at the two files it mentioned, just as the Opencart documentation predicts (http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... th=77_7_65_, there were some rogue carriage returns at the end of one of them (the login.php file). I took these out, uploaded the file again and the problem was solved!

Many thanks again for your help.

Now you know why a good host costs a little more

Hello,

i have the same problem. Everything works except a blank admin page.
I tried everything i found on internet with no succes and i have no error.

php 7.4 and admin config looks like this, any idea will be appreciated :

<?php

error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);

?>

Doesn't look like the config file from version 1.5.x. What version are you using? Why is DIR_STORAGE commented out?
