Blogsmu turning wp-admin blank white

I installed the blogsmu theme yesterday unsuccessfully. I upload the blogs_mu and the blogs_mu child into my wpcontent/theme folder but when I activate the child theme it goes white…. everything goes white. The wp-admin, and the web page itself. So i have to go to my cpanel and delete the 2 files so that wpmu resorts back to the default theme so I can actually login to my wp-admin backoffice.

I have no clue what is going on… if I dont have all the plugins necessary installed or what.. I have buddypress installed already.. and i placed the file it has in its plugin folder in my plugins folder…

anyone have any idea what im doing wrong?

    @EricJL: This could be 1 of 2 things in most cases:

    1. You’ve got a plugin conflict – turn off all apart from buddypress including the buddypress compatibility one if using (our themes do not require this)

    2. You’ve got the install path wrong for the theme – you should have:

    wp-content/themes/blogs-mu/

    wp-content/themes/blogs-mu-child/
