Hi, I’m having an unusual issue which I can’t get my head around - and I’d appreciate advice from this community on the best way to debug it.

My site works correctly when run on my local wamp server, but when I upload it to my web host certain redirects don’t work. As an example, at the end of this post route there is a redirect to ‘home’, which is namespaced as ‘home’.

On my local server this redirects correctly and I get my home view with the URL ‘localhost/_websitename_/public’ in the address bar.

However, when run on my webhost it instead just shows a blank browser window with the URL as ‘www._websitename_.com/public/register’

Does anyone know what may be causing this to happen? I’ve tried echoing out the root and var\_dumping the session, but neither has helped me find the cause yet. Any help is much appreciated!

Hey jimyclarke01 - Make sure there are no blank lines before “\<?php" and REMOVE all "?\>”. Removing all the “?\>” might cause an error or two, in that case add the “?\>” only to the pages giving the error…

It has to do with headers being sent (or not, i think) with the blank lines or the php end. That is why the page remains blank.

Hope this solves the problem.
