Alright I got this worked out. I did a fresh install of WinXP. Sooner or later I am just going to get Linux. But for now and those that may have this prob, I used a WAMP install and everything worked great, better than great, perfect and fawless.

Thanks for the help guys, I really am greatful.

and rowdie, don't even worry about it, I know what that is like.

Sorry, I meant XOOPS2; its late....

Anyway, I have tried the steps in the FAQ: Why do I have a blank white page on my site?

I am having a problem with the step two. I have tried every way to get the query, but I cannot figure out how... It says, Quote: but a, I don't even know where that is after looking through the direcotries and b, I never installed it so what would I compare it to?

I am very new to this. Please understand that I have put a ton of time researching and trying things that I have found. Thank for you help.

I am trying to set up with Apache2 and mySQL 4.1 and XOOPS 4 on a local XP Pro SP2. I actually found a post here from 2003 but it involved a linux system and it said that there shouldn't be a problem with winblows. However, right after that page, it goes blank.

I have tried everything is the Q&A here and nothing seems to work, its still just blank; no error messages.

I am able to connect to mySQL database without any problems, creating and changing. I have double and triple checked the settings when I enter them and they are correct (pic here). I have created a database too. And everything before that poing is green as can be. I have googled and Q&Aed all day and night (literally) without a solution. I would be grateful for some help! Thanks
