Install Problem - Blank page

ok I just corrected the cache and avatar problem but that didnt help

gonna try to reinstall it I guess

make sure that this is at the very top

<?php

$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'bamboo_kadus';
$db_username = 'XXXXX';
$db_password = 'XXXXX';
$db_prefix = 'kadus_';
$p_connect = false;

$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookies';
$cookie_domain = '.bambooborneo.com';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = 'c0a9fb60';

define('PUN', 1);

Once again thanks for the help - and that was the problem (so far) when I uploaded the files they somehow had all coding within them wiped out - seems to work now - will know more once i start testing it and all

Just in case anybody runs into this problem in the future, try adding this line to your .htaccess if you get a blank page after installing any script:

php_flag display_errors on

It may show you the error that is stopping the page from showing (if you view source you'll usually only see the basic html tags if anything at all) and give you a place to start looking

best,

Jan

ps.

this is what my config.php looks like:

--start code--
<?php

$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'xxxxx';
$db_username = 'xxxxx';
$db_password = 'xxxxx';
$db_prefix = '';
$p_connect = false;

$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = '1918bad4';

define('PUN', 1);}
--end code--

You'll have to create an .htaccess an place it into you punbb main directory... then add that line above to test if it will work or not.   Some hosts won't allow a custom .htaccess or won't allow php flags being turned on or off, but hey ... it's worth a shot!

best,

Jan

thanx for your sharp eye Smartsys!

that was the problem and it works now!
