If after your install your front page is blank, the issue might be with the smarty complied files.
There is a setting in index.php which turns off and on subdirectory creation in content/complied folder. Some servers do not allow the software to create subfolders. When this occurs, smarty can not generate the files.
We have created a fix for this problem. You can download the file attached below for your specific version, uncompress using a zip decompressor such as Winzip, and upload replacing the index.php.
For source code package users, perform the following:
1) Edit index.php
2) Replace line number 153 with following line:
$smarty->use_sub_dirs = false;
bicknellracingproducts.combicknellracingproducts.com
3) In addition to the above, the first thing you should do when getting a blank page is to check your server error logs. The logs will tell you exactly what files are not being executed properly. From there you can adjust your file permissions and trouble shoot further.
