Dear all,

same problem “blank screen on local test site” like inazone in JA Pyrite I have on JA Puresite

On remote server (installation location) it works fine. After copying it to my local server as development environment it shows in frontend a blank screen. Did a restore with Akeeba backup. The only thing what should have changed is the root file system and database server. All other templates work fine also in the frontend, only JA Puresite does not.

There is no index.html or anything else from earlier websites.
File rights are also checked.

Does JA Puresite has absolute paths somewhere in any file?
Any other tipp? Searching already for the whole day, now.

Regards T

Is this a J! 2.5 site?
If so, please see this Joomla.org post.
Read the whole thing and follow the links also.

Hi Tokl
I had a similar experience restoring a akeeba backed up site to local host, The help files for akeeba do address this problem, which for me was the need for wamp to load the rewrite function that is not set by default.
Here’s the relevant section from akeeba help. Hope this is the solution

<blockquote>Enabling Apache’s mod_rewrite[/h]If you are restoring on a local host, you have to make sure that your server is loading the mod_rewrite module, otherwise you will most assuredly get a blank page or a 500 Internal Server Error.

If you are using WAMPserver on Windows you must note that mod_rewrite is not loaded by default. In order to enable it, you have to click on WAMPserver’s tray icon, Apache, Modules and make sure that Rewrite is checked. If not, click on it and wait for the server to restart. This is required only the first time you restore to a WAMPserver installation and only if you have SEF URLs turned on and you are using Joomla!’s .htaccess file.

Other local servers, like XAMPP, also come with the mod_rewrite Apache module disabled.
These servers require you to edit the httpd.conf or run other system commands. Please consult your server package’s documentation for more information on enabling mod_rewrite.

Some live hosts also do not have Apache’s mod_rewrite enabled. If trying to use Joomla!’s stock htaccess.txt renamed to .htaccess causes an immediate blank page or Internal Server Error 500 page on your site, please consult your host. We can not help you with that. It’s all up to your host.
