I just noticed when I turn error checking on in the config file and load the main page of the site (http://www.ce.gatech.edu) 

Notice should not be problem
Try with a sqltool (ex: phpmyadmin) to disable Banner module (or if you have installed a new module)
in [cms_]modules toggle switch to 0 "active" field for this module

Hello Sean,

How is your /admin folder doing ?
Do you get the blank page from the start or after keying username and passowrd ?
Can you please remonitor your http logs (access and error) while you make a login attemp ?
Any news from your webserver / PHP / security provider ?

Thanks for your suggestions.  I'll let you know how the full install goes and if that solves the problem.

Ok, but first check if you have a rewrite issue, disabled this in admin folder with .htaccess and look for right url in access/error logs

I don't understand what you mean.  How do I disable this in the admin?

Put a .htaccess in admin folder with:
RewriteEngine Off

Tried that.  Still no success.

- Have you look for right GET in access log and error in error log
- Put a php file in admin folder and try to display

Can you please remonitor your http logs (access and error) while you make a login attemp ?

Only "blank page" isn't enough information. What do the logs say has happened server side ? What are the http response headers (use Firefox webdev toolbar) ? What is the source of this "blank page" ?

Any news from your webserver / PHP / security provider ?

Tell us more about the OS, the webserver, its activated modules (rewrite, security, cookies...), its settings...
Is a phpinfo() running well under the /admin folder ? Is a simple static HTML page well hosted there ?
Does another PHP session enabled software work in the same context ?
