Trouble with First Install

I’m trying to install Mint for the first time and am running into a problem. I changed db.php to reflect the database I created and then uploaded the mint folder to my server.

But when I try to visit yourdomain.com/mint/, the page just shows up blank. Anybody know why?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have some sort of mod_rewrite engine in the root of your website? If so try creating a new .htaccess file and place place RewriteEngine Off in it. Save the file and upload it to /mint/

Hey Andrew,

I did what you recommended and still nothing’s showing.

My .htaccess file has:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^signsreviewed.com RewriteRule (.*) signsreviewed.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^./index.php RewriteRule ^(.)index.php$ signsreviewed.com/$1 [R=301,L]

But then I placed a new .htaccess file in the mint folder with RewrieEngine Off. Any other ideas? I really appreciate your help.

I was having this same problem when I uploaded mint to my MediaTemple server, but adding the .htaccess that I had you do fixed the problem.

The only other thing I would guess is you’re either missing some files (maybe some didn’t get uploaded on accident?) or that maybe you have a misconfiguration in your database settings.

Hopefully someone else has some sort of insight as I honestly don’t know what else may cause this. Have you been able to visit mint by doing yoursite.com/mint/index.php?

Yeah well I FTPed the mint folder to my server, so I’m fairly certain all of the files got uploaded. I also know my database settings are configured properly because I ran the Mint compatibility test before I purchased.

I also can’t visit yoursite.com/mint/index.php. :( Hopefully Shaun will be able to help.

After careful checking again, some files didn’t get uploaded. All is well. :) Thanks again for your help Andrew.
