I’m new to Kirby and was trying to set up a new website with a trial license of the newest Kirby version. By accident I’ve deleted server files (damn Dreamweaver sync) and was not able to open the panel anymore. I then reuploaded the whole kirby-folder. But unfortunately, if I try to open the panel, I only get a white screen. The panel is activated/installed via the site config. Neither it’s a local caching issue. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Benjamin,
I may have a few questions and suggestions.
- Which files and folders were deleted?
- Have you checked the files in the root directory? (index.php, .htaccess)
- Does the website’s homepage open?
- And can you test by deleting the
/mediafolder?
Hi Ahmet, thanks for your answer!
- Unfortunately, I can’t say which files have been deleted.
- index.php and the htaccess-file are available and hasn’t been customized.
- I’ve deleted the media-folder. However, I the panel still isn’t loading.
An error in your config.php maybe? Does the frontend work?
When the debug mode is enabled from /site/config/config.php, can you go to the /panel and check for any errors in the browser console?
But the media folder is empty. How can I “reset” the installation of the panel?
I have deleted my whole website and reuploaded kirby from scratch. The panel opens again but asks for a user instead of letting me create a new one. At this point I don’t know what to do anymore…
Delete the contents of the /site/accounts folder, you should then be able to create a new user (if you set Panel installation to true in your config).
Thanks a lot, Sonja!
