Clean installation without error - blank page on loading index.php

I just installed the latest XOOPS on a Win2k3 machine with IIS and PHP 5x

The installation went without error but when I start up Xoops, I get a blank screen.

I tried running a number of php files but all came up blank.

After debugging index.php, I discovered the problem is because the following line has a value of '--'

if ( isset($xoopsConfig['startpage']) && $xoopsConfig['startpage'] != "" && $xoopsConfig['startpage'] != "--" ) {

As this seems to be a config issue, there are no errors to speak of.

Any ideas what I should do to get this thing going?

Cheers

I don't think there is a correct ROOT defined in your XOOPS config. Could you check that? (Is the correct URL of your site in the config.php file?)
I used to use this account, but no longer.

I am very new to XOOPS (first contact with it is today) and I have found many references to config.php

I searched them all but could not find a reference to setting the root.

Could you please indicate exactly where the file is and what to check for.

Also, I removed and reinstalled XOOPS and had exactly the same problem.

Cheers

That code relating to the start page isn't the problem. From a clean install the start-page wouldn't be set anyway.

Look at mainfile.php first.

Check that the "defines" for xoops_url, xoops_root_path, etc are correct.

Make sure that all the folders in your xoops_data folder are writeable.

I checked mainfile and also believe the folders are writable (not sure exactly how to do this but I gave it everyone rights to all folders with write permission).

I traced the code with some basic echo debugging and found that it goes to header.php then dies on the following line:

$xoTheme =& $xoopsThemeFactory->createInstance( array(
'contentTemplate' => @$xoopsOption['template_main'],
) );

I cant see any errors in phperror.txt nor do I get any errors on the screen. It just stops.

Thanx for your help.

Strange - I installed it on a different server and get exactly the same results - blank.
