Website showing blank page because of update

[RHill_90]

Hello all,

I am having a serious problem with a recent update. As soon as updating form 2.5.7 to 2.5.8, my entire website shutdown.

Can anyone help me on this urgent matter?

Thank you

Rich

Please always upgrade to the latest Joomla version within the same series first before trying to solve errors with an older version. Possible bugs might have been solved in the meantime, and it's a waste of time trying to solve issues that are caused because of non-updated software...

The latest version in the 2.5 series is Joomla 2.5.24

Furthermore 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
