Hi @sanjh,
The file permissions on your cache directory (and its subdirectories and their contents) aren’t set correctly. See docs/README and the OJS FAQ for more information on file permissions.
Regards,

I have seen docs/README but the problem is not solved yet. How to set file permission on your cache directory & its subdirectory & its contents?
plz explain in detail
See this thread:
what will be algorithm for hit counter? plz help
Is this question still related to the initial question of the blank pages after install? If so, can you clarify? I’m not seeing the connection. If it is unrelated to the initial question, please post it in a new thread with a bit more context about what your asking.
It is not related to initial question. I need algorithm of hit counter in ojs because I want to apply hit counter in open journal system. On each visit of a person on website, the number of hits is incremented by one. I need algorithm or pseudocode of that.plz help
Yes, please open that question as a new topic in this forum. That will help others with the same question find both the question and the answer.
