Hi all,

I have the little anoying problem. Just after I finished installation I get a blank page. And yes, I read the smartfaq, etc. all concerning the troubleshooting issues. I am running IIS 5 with php 4.3.10 and MySQL 4.1.10. I have turned on the error posting switch in the websites database using phpmyadmin. I can get to the sql server. I even discovered the problem with installing MySQL in a folder that contains spaces(mysql is now in c:\mysql). After I turned on the error switch I also checked php.ini. error reporting is turned on there also . I don't get any error messages. Just a blank page.

I see all of these XOOPS sites working and I can't find a was to fix this. It is just a tiny bit frustrating . I know that I must be missing something. Any idea's? Be aware I am fairly technically savy but am new to the web management end of things.

Thanks.

Well, I found out that the 2.x version was having a problem. I installed 1.3.10 and It went right in without much of an issue. ah well, live and learn.

xoops 2 should work, i wouldn't recommend using 1.3 version due to it being old and most of the modules available are for XOOPS 2..

tryhttp://www.iis-resources.com it's probably the best place you'll find for help with setting up XOOPS with iiS. they have a section just for XOOPS and iis in the forums, and of course the site is designed with XOOPS :) hope this helps..

Ok, I will try it. It is just so darn confounding that I can't get any errors and the blank page just comes up. I will check with iis-resources about this. Thanks.

ok, a little update from the last time I posted. I have tried XOOPS versions 1.3.10, 2.0.7.3, 2.0.10.0. I can get 1.3.10 to work but any of the version 2's come up with a blank page. I have even tried upgrading the working website to 2.0.10 and the install goes great but it still comes up with a blank page. It did recognize the current site and database and so asked me questions to upgrade the site. I still get a blank page. I have global variables turned on, I have php set to post all errors. I set XOOPS to debug mode. I still don't get any messages. I am running XOOPS 2.0.10.0, MySQL 3.23.49, php 4.3.10 and IIS 5.0. anybody have any and I mean ANY suggestions.

Thanks,

Ccaveman

a p.s. I just tried going to register.php and admin.php and both pages come up blank.

Please help?

Ok, now I feel a little silly. I wasn't enabling error reporting properly. These are the errors I am receiving.
