Joomla back end is blank. Requesting help please.

Post by amoryblue6 » Wed Aug 27, 2014 9:31 pm

Hello. I tried logging into my Joomla website back end and it came up blank. I was able to login just fine, but nothing else pops up afterwards. If you check out the image attached to this post, you'll see what I see. I have been using Joomla for 2 months and this hasn't occurred before. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you much.

A complete blank page is an indication of a PHP error while PHP error reporting is switched off.

To see the real error, you've to switch it on using one of these methods:

In the back-end go to: System > Global Configuration > [server] tab >
change "Error Reporting" from "System Default" to "Maximum"

Or you can add the following code to .htaccess to override the server settings and show any PHP errors:

Code: Select all

php_flag display_errors on
php_value error_reporting -1

Thank you for the reply. Seems my view levels got changed. I think I have to make some edits to _viewlevels table. I don't have phpMyAdmin set up, because I don't really know how to set it up haha. However, I can still make changes to files through my web hosts explorer. Where might I be able t locate the file so I can change the view level permissions?
