SOS! New Developer Facing White Screen of Death on WordPress Install (Comprehensive Details)

Just like Tom has said, this is most probably “server” issue, not a WordPress one.

You should check your error_log file to see if it gives you any insights. It should be in the same folder/directory in which the WordPress installation is.

If you don’t see anything there, you may try to force the WordPress installation to show you the errors in the browser. You can do so from the wp-config.php, configuring the boolean WP_DEBUG to true.

But if you are seeing the content of the index.php file as you are telling us, the most probable cause is that PHP isn’t working as it should, since it isn’t interpreting .php files but showing it’s contents instead.
