Troubleshooting
Cockpit displays a blank page
If you see a blank page we recommend checking your server logs. Next make sure you display PHP error messages. In most cases you should see some errors where the blank page was displayed before.
Cockpit does not save changes correctly
If changes to your content, content-models, settings or anything else you administer in Cockpit's admin panel get lost, please check the directory write permissions for your Cockpit installation as described in Setup.
