Answer 1

Your best bet is taking a look at your log files, and perhaps turning error reporting on. Put a simple script in your webroot that simply echo's a string, for example:

with the above there is very little that can go wrong. Work from there. Take a look at your phpinfo, and see where your log files are located. Search for

error_log

for the path to your PHP error log file and maybe see if

display_errors

is on.

This is something that has a multitude of possibilities that can be the cause of your problem.
