If you can get in to your admin panel at all (not sure you can from the white page link above) turn on error reporting and then visit a white page link and see what the error is. Fix the error and it will probably all come back, normally a screw component.

If that doesn't work, just upload a recent backup and then CAREFULLY remove the unwanted templates making regular backups during the process.

cant get into anything

site only migrated from 1.0 to 1.5 yesterday so no backup of 1.5 :(

You could try to add the following to the very end of the your config.php file

PHP:
ini_set( 'display_errors', true ); error_reporting( E_ALL );

Then go to the white page link and see if that gives you any clues.

Or you could roll back to a 1.0 backup from before you updated to 1.5 and then update again?

Hmm actually the source code for the blank page is empty. Just check in /root/public_html/test1/administrator/ and see if there is an index.html or index.htm file. If so, try renaming it/them to something else and then try the admin link again.

How many bytes is it? Was you config.php file correct when you went in it a minute ago? You might want to try renaming the current config.php file and editing a clean fresh version with your server details and then trying the admin link again.

(Yes I am guessing. I f**king hate Joomla)

I'd lose the username too...and then change your secret key and password when you're done.

Mate, I'd just roll back to your 1.0 backup from before you carried out the update to 1.5. Clean things up in 1.0 first and then backup and try to update again. You may want to also consider moving to Wordpress, it's a much better product IMHO.

It wasn't your Joomla login I was worried about mate, you posted up the full details to your php db...

Do you not have a full backup from 1.0 from before you updated to 1.5? If so you can use that, just drop all the current db tables and clear out the directories, then reupload and import your 1.0 db.

You'd be surprised just how much simpler, flexible and user friendly wordpress is compared to Joomla. It's free too, seeing as you've got your own shared server space just upload the wp files to a new directory in public_html and setup a second seperate db for it. You can then play with that along side Joomla and neither will interfere with each other.

Lines you desperately need to edit from your config.php post above are:

$mosConfig_secret
$mosConfig_user

ok cheers.

yeah i have a full backup of 1.0, but to go from 1.0 to 1.5 you have to install joomla.

might look into it once i get this sorted

Just worry about getting your site back up and running first, whilst it's down you're losing money and getting bad hits from spiders. Once it's back up and stable on 1.0 clear out anything that you don't want/need (modules/components/templates etc) and backup constantly. Then when you're happy do a full server and db backup and update to 1.5 again. When it's up and running and you know you can use the whole site do a full server and db backup again. Then go playing ;).

cant been longer than 15min, have emailed admin

:S The config.php file itself is fine, it's the fact that the details are publicly posted above! You need to edit your post and remove the above lines. (Although they will have been spidered by now so changing the db password now and the Joomla secret key, once the sites back up, are vital).
