    Do you have access to the domain hosting control panel? You need to look at the PHP error log to see what the problem is.

    sure... i can take a look and post what i see..

        I'll bet that site's a mess. I've dealt with quite a few of those.

          One possibility is that your version of MODX is not compatible with the host's current (newer) version of PHP. In that case, upgrading MODX to latest version of Evolution could fix the WSOD problem.

            shredhead,

            I look at your site, and for the most part it is really straight forward. It does appear to broken in a few places, and as Susan put it it need to be upgrade. Currently it looks like you have two options.

            Option One: Find and Repair the broken or compromised PHP code, then upgrade to the latest version of Evo. Which is still not as current as Revolution but could get the job done.

            Option Two: Convert the site from Evo to Revolution which may prove easier to maintain and keep up to date.

            If you need help let me know, I run a firm in Florida who has done this several times. If you want help from someone closer to home, try Aaron at Method21 http://www.method21.com/modx they are in Texas.
