There are 3295 files checked.
Please remove the file ./checksum.md5 and checksum.php as soon as possible.

I have been through all theme files for both themes and there is no sign of lcoalhost anywhere.
Why would a standard installation be pointing to localhost. shouldnt this be a setting of the config.php as to where it gets its data from.

Please advise

Yes, I am aware I have paths to localhost thanks.

The problem I have is I do not know which file it is coming from. I have been through the obvious config.php file and nothing. can you advise what file I should look in please

Hi,
I have been able to get this site working to a point where I partially have a front page on the outside but everything works fin locally.
if you have a look athttp://www.smashpro.com.au/xoops you will see partial graphics then text.
if I do that on the server itself i get the whole page.
I know it will be a localhost setting somewhere but I can't find it.

Can anyone advise.

Dave

ok now i have it partially sorted.
I went through every single directory and gave it full permissions. got the site running. could see the main page.
then went back through the permissions and took of full permissions and modify to everything but the data directories.
The site is still working.
Very wierd.

Yep as Yayh1 has mentioned, these directories are already set to write enabled. in fact to test it further I gave full permissions on all directories in the XOOPS folder.
Still blank pages

Same here.

I have just completed again for the 3rd time a fresh installation on my IIS server.
Still blank pages. I can get to the admin menu as before . No modules installed. No code modified.
All stock standard and still white pages
very frustrating

dave

that maybe the case Wishcraft, but several users on IIS6 and not Apache are having problems.

IIS6, PHP, MySQL only.

If anyone can shed light on this issue, it would be much appreciated

dave

Hi. I am also having this problem. I didnt have any errors during installation

I am running on a VPS server under IIS 6 and PHP and Mysql.
I have 2 other sites running under PHP and MySQL and they work fine.

It seems to be a common issue to a few people having the blank start page.

Can anyone advise please
