i seemed to have fixed it, specifically not sure how....
i downloaded the gz.tar version.....
set permissions as per another article here on the forum.....just used the search function for permissions.....
the re'upped from the recently downloaded gz.tar version the "cache, class, images, include, kernel" dirs....
and no more white pages.....got the log in and voila.....playing around....
thanks again,
Dale
