Grunt error and blank page on `sails lift`

I followed the (extremely simple) instructions here: http://sailsjs.org/get-started.

However, when I tried running sails lift it just gave me a blank page because I had a problem with my grunt install. I reinstalled it, which fixed the errors, but now I still have a blank page when I visit localhost:1337. I know something is working, because when I stop running sails lift I don't even get a blank page, but I'm not seeing the expected homepage.ejs.

My output when I run sails lift is:

sails lift

Those last two lines seem like they're the problem, but I have no idea how to fix them. Any help would be appreciated.

I was also facing same issue like this, at the end these two lines are showing 

info: Gruntfile could not be found.
info: (no grunt tasks will be run.)

Actually it was from grunt, so to remove last to live , i update my .sailsrc file as give below

{
  "hooks": {
    "grunt": false
  }
}

I think this is the right way to disable grunt.

It turned out this was just a human stupidity issue. For future reference, if you fail to cd in to the newProject directory (or, in my case, you cd in to it then back out to fix a Grunt issue) then you will get:

info: Gruntfile could not be found.
info: (no grunt tasks will be run.)

and a blank page. Solution? cd testProject.

I'm guessing your sails install failed for some reason.

npm uninstall sails
npm cache clear
npm install sails

If that doesn't work go into your app/node_modules/sails directory and then run:

npm install grunt-cli

(In some cases, you might have already had the grunt CLI installed globally and it gets in the way.)
