Site keeps failing, admin showing white screen - randomly!

A blank screen indicates an error was encountered. You need to find that error, and consistently reproduce it.

You need also to post system information, debug mode output... error log output, etc. Do a site verification, etc.

Invalid compiled template for 'content:pagedata'

I think this means that smarty puked while compiling the template. This could be a bunch of things, but I would start looking at the error logs.

I am thinking you are running out of disk and/or memory resources somewhere and just not seeing the error message.

Is it possible that pasting some text from MS Word has caused such a problem - for example a curly quote? I've deleted the page to test the theory (its working so far)

Highly possible. Directly pasting from WORD will transfer not only the text, but the whole underlying office xml stuff (you will see it in the HTML view of TinyMCE). The results are quite unpredictable - from strange behavior of the generated page to total system failure.

*Never ever* paste directly from WORD (or something similar), always use the "Insert as text" or "Insert from Word" button in the TinyMCE editor.

Without further information we can only guess.
What does debug mode say, what's in the error logs?
Etc. Etc.
Calguy already listed what we need.

That URL is the normal edit page URL, you may want to check for server locale settings if it doesn't accept page edit changes till later...

and also, for the same page am mow getting this…?!

Code: Select all

Database Connection Failed
Error: Too many connections (1040)
Function Performed: CONNECT

Check this with your hoster. "Too many connections" means that the number of MYSQL connections is over the server limit. This has nothing specially to do with your site - it is a server issue. (I assume it is not a site with thousands of visitors per hour ...)
