Good day.

While this post discusses a similar setup to mine serving blank pages occasionally after having made a successful installation, I am unable to serve anything but blank pages.

My setup:

• Wordpress 3.0.4
• nginx 0.8.54
• php-fpm 5.3.5 (fpm-fcgi)
• Arch Linux

Configuration Files

php-fpm.conf:

[global]
pid = run/php-fpm/php-fpm.pid
error_log = log/php-fpm.log
log_level = notice

[www]
listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
listen.owner = www
listen.group = www
listen.mode = 0660
user = www
group = www

pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 50
pm.start_servers = 20
pm.min_spare_servers = 5
pm.max_spare_servers = 35
pm.max_requests = 500

nginx.conf:

user www;
worker_processes  1;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log  notice;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    gzip  on;

    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf;
}

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/blog_sharonrhodes_us.conf:
