Joomla not working?

This is quite a vague statement, and there is a multitude of reasons why this could be happening. However, the following might eliminate one of the reasons why a Joomla site is not working, i.e. corruption of files during upload.

Have you recently installed or uploaded your site to the web server and it is not working? Is your site acting strangely or funnily, or you have blank pages coming up in certain areas? This is usually a problem with having corrupt / missing files in the installation. The best way to check for this is to use the Joomla Diagnostics tool to check whether and files are missing or corrupt during installation.

The tool consists of two files which you upload to the root of your Joomla installation. You then access the http://www.yourdomain.com/diagnostics.php file and this will give show you whether any files are missing or corrupt. You can then replace any missing files using an FTP client, or JoomlaXplorer.
