The security advisor has several things for me to do, and I am trying to update my mainfile.php with the bit about precheck and postcheck. So in the 2.3.3 update, I updated the mainfile.dist.php.protector file with my information (as follows) but as soon as I do, I get a blank page on my website.

If I put back the mainfile.php without the precheck and postcheck it goes back to working fine. What stupid mistake am I missing? Good file below;

I am sure it is something stupid. I know I gotta fix the data and lib directories too.
