What manual modifications, if any were made in placing the files on the server? Better yet, please describe the process of this install and changed made to get to the current state.

Re: Clean Install shows blank page on PHP 8

No files modified. Its fresh copy of zencart v1.5.7d

I have uploaded all files on root.

And its giving me blank page.

Here is the phpinfo incase you want to check.

Is Zencart 1.5.7d compitible with PHP 8?

Re: Clean Install shows blank page on PHP 8

I followed below process :

  1. Downloaded Current zencart zip file

  2. upload zip using filezilla ftp on root directory

  3. extract zip using cpanel filemanager

  4. Move all files/folders to root/public_html

  5. Then I navigate to open site. And it should show me installer screen. But gives me blank page.

Switch back to PHP 7.4 and see what happens. Could be you don't have the mysqli extension installed on PHP8?

Re: Clean Install shows blank page on PHP 8

Yep that's part of the procedure.

If you have never done this before, it's really worthwhile to follow the documentation.
