check the server error logs (you may need to enable the error logs in your php.ini or contact your hosting provider). A blank page after installation w/ nothing in the Zen Cart debug logs indicates something is causing an issue before Zen Cart has loaded the code to generate debug logs. The most common cause is something missed or a mistake made during installation (often placing a file in the wrong location - which may now need to be removed). The contents of the server error log will be beneficial in narrowing down the solution.
Could indicate something is not right with any modifications which have been made to the .htaccess file. Try temporarily removing any modifications you have made to the .htaccess file. Then address the blank page issues in the Zen Cart admin. Once working, you can regenerate and install a new .htaccess file. Second to last step: test, test, test. Last step: make a new "known good" backup of the files and database.
error logs are on on my Cpanel... what I get is this...
[ File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/404.shtml
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/store/cours
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/404.shtml, referer: http://site.com/store/
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/store/category, referer: http://site.com/store/

how do I enable error logs in php.ini?
yes i had dumped the whole database and reloaded a known good one... the files, well the new ones I left there and just re wrote the modified ones. I get confused with the Template ones because none of them were in my STORE TEMPLATE folder... they were all in the regular folders... at first I tried just putting them in the override folder there... then created them in the store Template one... but I've tried so many combinations by now that I' m unsure...
so while I do this all over again, meaning, I dropped the database again and this time I'm dumping the as well, can you clarify...
the tpl files if they didn`t exist to begin with in my STORE TEMPLATE folder, should I copy the original ones from the store to the Template folder first and then copy the ones from the mod to the overrides folder... or just leave everything as is and put the files in the overrides folder of the store folder?
