as two servers are not completely the same something must differ. if you 
use the same configuration for both servers something must go wrong. or 
you need a configuration which recognizes the difference and configures 
in different way.
some possible differences:
- database (address, name, user, password)
- domains
- pathes

as gregor pointed to dmitrys page: blank pages mostly are caused on 
errors which are not shown.
depending on your TYPO3 version you may switch to development mode 
and/or use http://pi-phi.de/291.html
