I granted full privs. to myself. Thanks, it worked. This is a nice community

I know you are not supposed to bump topics...but I really need this to be resolved. Thanks

I do not have any sort of firewall online...

I then hit next, and my site is blank. I have viewed the FAQ, but none of that helps.
Thanks for all your help.
