moving Drupal 6 site - get blank white page

Question

I moved Drupal from one Linux server to another by copying files to PC then back to new server. I made changes to settings.php to reflect new database name. I got PHPmyADMIN working, so I know database and server are running.

When I run index.php, I get white screen. However in index.php when I echo out menu_execute_active_handler(), I get some part of my home page without menus. I think that this means that I am getting through bootstrap but failing somewhere else. Any ideas?

index.php

require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);

$return = menu_execute_active_handler();


echo $return ;

Answer 1

Turn display_errors on in your php.ini file.

Your new server probably has them disabled.

Answer 2

Put this code in your index.php to see the error

error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', TRUE); ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);
