Do you have error reporting turned on in php.ini?

I had the same issue. I made the files in install/templates readable by all and now I can see the install page.

Hope this helps.

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

I also had to go into each subdirectory and give all the .php files read access.

For some reason "chmod a+rx -R *.php" this didn't get the job done.

It wouldn't. Under Linux, "*" is expanded by the shell, not the command, so that "glob" (wildcard expression) matches only php files in the current directory.

To fix all files in subdirectories, use find:

find . -name \*.php -exec chmod a+r {} \;

Note that the PHP files don't need execute permission on Linux. That's only required for PHP scripts that will be run from the command line or X. Web PHP scripts need only read permission. (Perl, OTOH, does need execute permission for its scripts. Just to be pedantic.

)

Thanks for the clarification, I was just going by what the install.txt file said

Back to the original poster's problem. I'm running on linux so I'm not sure how helpful this will be. I saw the same blank screen you described until I set the files to be readable by the webserver. I was able to get a few clues by setting "display_errors on" in my php.ini file and restarting the web server.

After I did that it spit out alot of useful debug information. In my case it pointed out that template.php was not readable by the server and in going through I found a number of directories and files that the server didn't have access to.

I haven't run apache on XP in awhile so I'm a little rusty there.

In your php.ini edit the line that says:

include_path='C:\PHP\ext'

so that it reads:

include_path='C:\PHP\ext;D:\web_page\roster'

Then restart apache.
