Problem with v158 on Interserver.net

[GoldBuckle]

I am in the process of changing hosts. My live site is currently running on the old host v157. I am working on setting up the new host with a clean install of v158 on the new host (interserver). I get a blank page with the php set to 8.1. When I change the php to 7.4 I get the "Welcome to ZenCart" page. Not sure what to do or if this is a bug.

When you get that "blank page", there should (keyword) be some files in the site's /logs sub-directory named myDebug*.log. They'll have information that identifies what the underlying issue is and what source file is the culprit.

Did you performed that 'clean' install of zc158, did you use a copy of your live site's database (running that through zc_install to upgrade) or did you let the zc_install process simply create you a starting database?

Note that there is a known issue with PHP8+ that you have to explicitly go to the zc_install page to create your database.

YOURSITE.com/zc_install

The automatic redirection that occurred before has an issue in PHP8.

Thank you swguy that worked.

After extracting zc v158, open the index.php got blank screen swguy referenced using the install path as its a known issue with php 8
