Hi,

When something goes wrong, the first thing to do is ...

a) Check the log files (e.g. /var/log/apache2/error.log on a Debian-ish
system)

b) See if the application itself creates any log files

c) Check the access.log files (did your request get to the server etc?)

d) See if there is a local .htaccess file, or check your php.ini file
and see if display_errors is turned on (and also what your
error_reporting level is)... these can either help (i.e. print out an
error message to you when it "breaks" or hinder you (by not printing out
an error message and instead just showing you a blank screen!)).


As Darren said, when trying to debug problems, being able to tell what
changed recently is normally very useful - therefore consider using
something like Subversion/Git/etc to manage the source code of your project.

thanks
David.
