Hello,
I have been pulling my hair out for 36 hours straight trying to fix this for a client.
Their website went down yesterday with no explanation. No changes no nothing.
There are no sales occurring on this site. It is used as a catalog of sorts for customers.
Issue experienced: admin side loads fine, full access. Front end will not load in any way. Just a blank page with blank header and body.
It is hosted at godaddy. The original developer had most of the site in a subfolder with a bunch of "target redirects" in the root. I could not edit, copy, or otherwise mess with them so I deleted all of them and recreated the URL redirects with godaddy's interface. That doesn't seem to be the issue.
I've seen this happen in other threads while surfing around but mostly to the admin side so I don't know what to do. I've looked through the includes/configure.php file as well as the configure in the admin side. All values are what they are supposed to be
Summary of actual changes made: upgraded php 5.2 to 5.3 on the Godaddy server side (the admin server info recognized the change) and deleted those weird redirects and reinstated them with the Godaddy interface. I've made many other changes and then reverted back when they didn't fix the issue.
I am happy to provide any information to help me figure this out. The only thing I found remotely similar was someone who had the same issue and rebuilt the site and replaced 3 database tables. She couldn't figure out the exact culprit but that some database table had been corrupted in some way.
I debated moving the site to the root folder and following that process but the redirects I set are working fine and I'm being directed to all the correct pages. They just won't load.
I repeat no edits or revisions of any sort were applied before this site refused to load. There are NO error logs of any kind (and I've added all the show error stuff and still do not receive error messages).
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I thought about upgrading to 1.5.5 but I don't know of that will mess up the template or create MORE issues on top of this error so I am avoiding that for now.
