thanks, but I think it was something to do with uploading them to the server cause when I looked at the php files they were blank, so evedently the ftp client I was using somehow deleted the contents of the files... using a different ftp, thanks though and will keep that in mind, will post the outcome when all is done.

Topic: Install Problem - Blank page (15 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
After uploading everything and setting up the database then clicking on the link to the forum it went to it but it was a blank page. Any suggestions or input will be helpful. If more information is needed please ask, I am new to all this so I probably did something wrong I am not sure.
I did what they said uploaded all files that were in the upload folder to a folder I created for the forum, and like I said afterwards it gave me the page for admin. stuff, I filled it all out and then as stated it gave me a blank page. Thanks!
Also just noticed this in where they tell me the info to put in the config.php
The cache directory is currently not writable! In order for PunBB to function properly, the directory named cache must be writable by PHP. Use chmod to set the appropriate directory permissions. If in doubt, chmod to 0777.
The avatar directory is currently not writable! If you want users to be able to upload their own avatar images you must see to it that the directory named img/avatars is writable by PHP. You can later choose to save avatar images in a different directory (see Admin/Options). Use chmod to set the appropriate directory permissions. If in doubt, chmod to 0777.
Could this be the problem and if so how actually can I correct it?
Thanks again!
