Database is created (mysql) with user.

I just installed XOOPS on my site and the installation went without a hitch. NO "red" issues.

Blank white page is all I get.

I got debugging to work by using the suggested query of

UPDATE xoops_config SET conf_value=1 WHERE conf_name = 'debug_mode';

Now when I load the page here is what appears.

Obviously something isn't quite kosher.

I sure hope one of you XOOPS guru's can translate this into english?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

You may email me at mtb@mtbondo.com

Thanks much!

the errors indicate that Apache does not have permission to read the file attributes for elements in the /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/mtbondo.com/httpdocs/templates_c/ folder. This folder needs to have full (777) permissions

If there are any files in that folder, remove them and try to access your page again.

While you are looking at permissions, double-check that the /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/mtbondo.com/httpdocs/uploads/ and the /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/mtbondo.com/httpdocs/cache/ folder also are set to 777 permissions.

I would have sworn that I had set that dir to 777 earlier because of a warning during the install.

But low and behold, that was the problem.

Thank you as much as possible!

You guys are great.

Ok... got things to work, up until I went into the administration section...

Then this happened.

it looks like the key to this set of error messages is the second one:Quote:
This means that your host has placed restrictions (using the php config open_basedir) on what files can be accessed via PHP. Unfortunately that usually means that you have to get your hosting company involved to fix the issue.
