Have just done as you suggested and tried to access the site from a second browser while logged in on firefox. I then saw the following errors appear on the server logs:

And I feel I may have omitted something important from my original post: I use the Firebug extension in firefox. If I generate a blank page while logged into the back end, by using the "view page" icon, I can open this blank page under firebug. Here I notice that the html is present on the page - this extension allows me to expand the tree and I can confirm that the HTML for the template has been displayed. However firebug reports that there is no css on the page. This is despite my having included it in the templavoila mapping (per instructions) and having validated all my code at WC3. I'll do as you suggest here and post the results. Are error logs something that my site hosts should be responsible for, bearing in mind that I used Scriptaculous to install typo3?

The servers error logs 2. Try to log into the backend and produce the error (the one with the error page) in another tab while being logged in. You usually get a much better error message this way.

Here's hoping one of you kind souls will point me in the right direction!! I've been creating a new, very simple website on a brand new installation on version 4.7.7 and using the templavoila! extension. I've spent the past four days working through the several typo3 documents that explain set up, necessaries and templates etc. I've followed all instructions correctly (I believe) and now have no obvious errors indicated in the back end. However when I try to view a page all I see is a blank, white page in my browser (Firefox 16) or in IE9 I see the typo3 page with a pink box saying "oops! an error occurred". My problem is that I've no idea where to begin troubleshooting this problem. My site hosts confirm that everything is running fine at their end, and I do have access to cpanel and mySQL, myphpAdmin etc but no idea what I'm looking for. Have tried 'obvious' things like clearing caches, logging out and back in but no joy. Have tried deleting all content and recreate anew. No indicated problems with extensions or database in typo3. Where should I be looking for errors? Suggestions please.
