I do have display_errors On, but nothing is outputted. The browser doesn't get a 500, but rather the page source is blank. It appears that certain pages just don't generate any source. Some do, others don't, without about a 30% failure rate.

Hello all,
After dumping and restoring to a fresh wiki install a fairly large
database
(over 2GB) the main page fails to load, all I get is a white page. I'm assuming the backup/restore failed, but I'm not sure which one. Are there any special considerations to take when working with large databases that could be causing my backup and/or import to fail?
Usually a blank page means a PHP fatal error (especially if it's got a 500 status code and X-Powered-By header). It would be helpful if you could determine the text of the error message, by finding your error log file, or by setting display_errors, or otherwise configuring your error display settings as described here:
