You still aren't getting the PHP errors though that would be causing 
this. You need to  configure your PHP to show the errors. Go to your 
php.ini file and set error handling to this:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED  & ~E_NOTICE
display_errors = On
log_errors = On

Then restart Apache and try accessing the site and see what it says. 
Since you originally got a Drupal error page, that means PHP is 
executing, but there is an error hiding in there somewhere (which can 
also be something in the database). You need to get PHP's errors to be 
able to track that down. Generally the site offline error page means 
there is some connection issue with the database, so you might want to 
double check the $db_url in settings.php.
