Re: Blank page when CakePHP is uploaded to the server

Hi - did you do what Jeremy suggested and just try a "clean" install
of cake on the site (with just a single model / controller for testing
purposes) to see how that was working?

In the past, I have had problems when deploying based a few things...
these two were pretty annoying to find, and I still cannot explain
them fully.

file permissions - I had set all of the directories to writable that
needed to be writable, but was also getting white screens - when I
uploaded "clean" install of the same version of the framework, it was
the same problem, whereas if I made all of the cake tree
permissions 777 (as a troubleshooting test of course - not to be run
like that on an ongoing basis) the app then worked. I guess there may
have been some scripts on there that were not executable.

model relationships - when I have been learning cake, if I have got
confused when setting up my model relationships, some combinations of
relationships between two models have caused unexplained white
screens.

As Jeremy suggested, if you can (or can't) get a clean install working
it will give a better indication as to where to focus the troubleshoot
further.

If your host suggests it does not support Cake - that just sounds like
a generic reply to not being able to give tech support for a package
that they do not install / maintain themselves, not necessarily saying
that their
server setup does not specifically support Cake's pre-requisites and
dependencies.
