Ok, I just downloaded Project Pier and installed it to my server. I successfully installed it, and from there I go to the main page. All that it shows is a blank white page, that is if i view it it firefox. If I view it in internet explorer it gives me an 'internal error'. I have re-uploaded the files 3 times already and cleaned the mysql databases a bunch.
Any suggestions?
after looking through pages and pages of the forum - i found these threads:
http://www.projectpier.org/node/809

It seems to be a recurring issue, and caused by a variety of different things.
I finally got everything working after a few hours of digging around...
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED FIRST:
I originally downloaded the files directly to my hosted linux server using wget, and then unzipped them - but none of the filename cases were preserved, they all reset to lowercase. I went into some of the files and manually changed the code so that they would look for lowercase files instead...but after the install I got the Blank Screen (of death).
THIS IS HOW I FIXED IT:
I ended up blowing out the original install and db and downloading the package locally, then uploading to the server. Took me a few tries to make sure the entire thing uploaded - I got more than a few upload errors.
After this, I reran the install and everything worked.
The best thing to do is to go into the config/config.php and turn debug on....
[Change the line
define('DEBUG', false);
to
define('DEBUG', true);
Then you should see an actual error instead of a blank page.
