blank screen from line $GLOBALS['smarty']->display(&#

[Guest flyingwomen2005]

I am still trying to figure out why I get a blank screen when upgrading from 5.0.7 to 5.1.5.

From going through setup/index.php, I discovered the problem is with the last line, $GLOBALS['smarty']->display('skin.install.php');

skin.install.php has 755 permissions, so should be okay.

Smarty class is in includes/lib and has 775 permissions.

To me - seems the problem is with the display function as the line before it. '$GLOBALS['smarty']->assign('COPYRIGHT_YEAR',date('Y')); ran smoothly

My questions :

Why is this a problem -

Where is the display function located?

Thanks

Are you able to log-in to the server as a server admin? That is to say, it would be extremely helpful if you could get at the PHP error logs (assuming the PHP installation is configured to log errors).

Seeing a screen that introduced you to the installation of CubeCart (Welcome, License Agreement, Initial Checks) means Smarty is working and can use the skin.install.php template file.
