Hi guys,

The white screen of death is caused by url reroute mid-build. Basically, all the hosting settings need to be set in the .env file (before) you start building Forem. If you change the domain url between the start of the build and seed admin confirmation, it will break the build. This is actually common for many apps, but because of the way Forem builds progress, its not always clear what these settiings are. As a rule of thumb, all hosting environmet variables including AWS, etc--should be set prior to a build. This should solve the problem.

Additionaly, this may happen if your seed admin has not been confirmed with sendgrid. Do not try the sendgrid workaround if you want full super admin access. Set up your sendgrid account (prior) to the Forem build.
