On my local MAMP environment, I set up WP 3.0 RC3 and BP1.4.2.1 (running on MySQL Server version: 5.1.37 and PHP Version 4). Smooth sailing – I can access /wp-admin and site administration works properly.
When I attempted to set up the same configuration (WP 3.0 RC3 and BP1.4.2.1) on my remote hosted environment (running on MySQL Server version: 5.0.77 and PHP Version 5.2.13), as soon as I click the ‘activate’ link for the BuddyPress plugin from the Site Administration area, the browser attempts to load the following URL:
/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1
but only displays a blank page.
All further attempts to access the /wp-admin pages results in the blank page.
If I navigate to the site front end, I’ll see the default theme and then at the bottom of the page, the un-styled textual content of the BP installation. See here: http://linchpinhq.org
If I manually delete the BuddyPress directory from my server, I’m able to access the site administration area again.
I’ve tried a few variations:
– WP 2.9.2 + BP 1.4.2.1 – same issue on remote server
– WP 3.0 RC3 nightly build + BP 1.4.2.1 – same issue on remote server
Is this an issue with the version of PHP/MySQL running on my remote hosted environment?
