    View the page source in your browser.
    Does it have nothing in it, or does it contain PHP script?

    (post a sample of it here if you're not sure)

      Hi,
      Thanks for the interest in helping me out. When I open the page in the browser, nothing comes up in the browser. The page I'm trying to open is www.coaching4growth.com/admin.php. Thanks again for your help.

    And it basically outputs an empty HTML document.
    OK. That means PHP is probably actually running on your server, otherwise you'd get either an error message, or the PHP sent to the browser.

    So it probably means some sort of configuration issue that causes a silent failure.

    Does the script require access to a MySQL database or anything like that?

        I got a "500 internal server error" accessing the link.

        Did you upload as ASCII or Binary? Try setting the ftp to ascii and try uploading again.

          Hi. Thanks again for your help. I entered the php script as ascii with notepad and it did upload as a php file. Also, the script does link to sql db and i did import the file into the sql as the instructions said to do.

            Did you by chance edit any of the php files (or admin.php) ?

            Probably one of the most common reason for a blank screen is that you are missing a character somewhere.

            If you leave out a ' or a } or a ; you generally don't get an error, you just get a blank screen like this.

            You probably had to enter the database details into this php or another file like config.php or something like that.

            Check for the missing characters and see how you go.

            If all else fails get a fresh copy of the php files again (before you did any modifications) and upload it and see if you at least get something on the screen (even if it says failed to connect to database you know then that the problem was in your editing).

            Cheers
