To clear up the situation!

I've not updated my current XOOPS version(2.3.0). i'm just trying to get my website local with the restored website.
I also realized that when i typed something after the '?>' in the mainfile.php it shows on my browser...
what that suppose to mean.

To me it's kinda weird.. why am i not getting my homepage???
i have other XOOPS installation in my computer with the latest version...
thanks!!

Thank you for your reply Ghia!

Actually the idea is to update my current XOOPS version to 2.3.3. But there is no success in dispalying the front page as yet.
But as how i mentioned above i can browse the other pages except for that, i can enter the admin and everting if i type /modules/modulename, etc..., except when i typehttp://localhost/bars in my case or click 'home', i get blank page.
I have already emptied the cache, template_c and xoops_data (sub)folders and the session table as you stated above with the expetion of the index.html and *.txt files.
I'm really out of ideas what i could be doing wrong! can it be phpmyadmin compatibility or a setting? or an unsuccessful download of the site? which i don't think!
Please any other ideas???

Hi guys, I've been searching the forum but no solution to my problem... please if this problem already posted, direct me to the forum. Oh, & i'm quite new to XOOPS & to this forum too...
Ok. i have a website already up and running on the internet but i then decided to update it. what i did is to compress the /home folder where my website resides & i then downloaded it and of course exported the database file as well to my computer.i then started to work locally, created database, username & password and dropped my website files & folders in the www directory locally. Of course i also made changes to the mainfile.php like changing the necessary file path and database name etc... the problem is now i getting a blank top page(home page), but when i go ahead & typed /modules/ams for example, i get the page and i can browse the other modules(pages). but when i click back home i get blank page.
What am i doing wrong?? or what exactly is the procedure i should take when trying to accomplish this, from a live website to a localhost??

I have also deleted the temp files from the caches folder...
