Question
Blank screen when opening Duplicator installer.php in browser
- Posted on April 16, 2014
Asked by Jan Pieters
Hi,
I am trying to migrate a Wordpress website to my droplet with the Duplicator Plugin.
These are the steps I took:
- I have created a droplet and installed Wordpress according to: One-Click Install WordPress on Ubuntu 13.10 with DigitalOcean tutorial
- I have copied the installer.php file and the package in the root /var/www
- I browsed to http://mywebsite.com/installer.php
Result: I got a blank screen in my browser
-
I saw in the Duplicator instructions the follwing: “Copy both the archive file and the installer.php files to an empty folder on your web server. Make sure the directory they are copied to have the correct permission. Then open a web browser and browse to the installer.php file. http://yoursite.com/installer.php”
-
So I deleted all Wordpress files (emtptied the /var/www/ folder)
-
I have copied the installer.php file and the package in the root /var/www
-
I browsed to http://mywebsite.com/installer.php
Result: still got a blank screen in my browser
Can anyone help me solve this? Much appreciated!
