Blank Screen after I upgraded

[wacp]

My cpanel allowed me to install ver 1.3.3.  As soon as I got it set up I uploaded all the files from 1.4.8.  Now when I go to my site I get nothing but a blank screen.  Coppermine came up before I put the new version there.  What am I missing here?

- did you copy all the new files (files and folders)? (specialy all standard themes in your case)
- did you run "update.php"
- check your /include/config.inc.php
- if you have custom theme then you should upgrade it
- you can use standard theme ( ie. classic theme ) by adding ?theme=classic after index.php

I would suggust installing the latest stable CPG versus installing version 1.3.3 from fantastico using cPanel and then upgrading. You don't gain anything from using cPanel. In fact after you upgrade your CPG to the latest stable, the installation logs generated by cPanel are out of date.

Hope this helps.

I didn't know at the time I installed ver 1.3.3 it was out of date.  Yes I thought I copied all the new files and I ran update.php.  It didn't tell me anything went wrong so I thought everything would work.  I didn't change any themes, I hadn't added albums or pics to it yet.  This is the second time I tried doing this.  The first time after I did everything I got the parent directory with a list of directories.  So I deleted everything and started again this time to get a completely blank screen.  Not even an error message.

manualy enable debug mode:

and then post a link

Start off with a fresh copy of 1.4.8, if you have no content then there is no reason to be updating. If you have problems with the clean install then post in the install section.

The first time after I did everything I got the parent directory with a list of directories.  So I deleted everything and started again ...

That's a common issue if you're not familiar with making web sites, one line of code could have fixed that.

I took your advice and installed the new version.  It works.  I previously went with the old version because cpanel set up mysql and everything that went along with it.  All of which I had no clue about.  Thx for the tip.
