Hey Everyone -

Thanks in advance for your help on this one. I've just installed the newest version and install went without a problem (tables created, etc).

However, when I try to view my site (http://choosedaily.com) or the admin config (http://choosedaily.com/admin_config.php) the pages are just blank.

Info page: http://choosedaily.com/info.php
Smarty Test: http://choosedaily.com/Smarty_Test.php

I did have to create two directories 'cached' and 'compiled' in order to get the Smarty test to Ok all the way through but still no luck.

Your help is extremely appreciated!

Thanks again!

Any help here? I've tried to reinstall but have the same problem. Just to get past Step 2 of the install I have to copy the info from db.php to dbconnect.php. Now if I could only figure out why the blank pages!?!?!

Blank pages in Pligg are almost always because of a file that didnt get uploaded properly. I'd suggest uploading one more time using SmartFTP.

Thanks for the reply Ash, but that's not the case here. I just went through the index file and did an echo 'oi' throughout.

The echo stopped firing when I got to Line 107
Code:
$main_smarty = do_sidebar($main_smarty);
I comment that out and the site actually loads... of course without the sidebar. So it appears the problem is in the do_sidebar() function. Now if I can only figure that out or if someone can point me in the right direction we'll be good!

Figured it out one step farther!

The problem was in the do_sidebar() function. The problem lies in the include() call for dbtree.php at line 133.

PHP Code:
//this is what's there
include('dbtree.php');

//change it to this
include(mnminclude.'dbtree.php'); 
Now I have a new problem. Arrggh!

I can login to admin_config.php but I only have the links from the top. Clicking on them calls the page and it loads but unfortunately there's nothing there!! Any ideas?

Okay, I've got that problem straightened out as it seems to have been a template issue. I hardset the template in the config file and everything loads good.

Scary enough... I've got another problem!!

I tried to change my login name via the database because i couldn't change it from the admin. Now when i try to login I get an "error 2" on the page and nothing else.

Any ideas?

The "error 2" no longer shows up. I went to the homepage and then to the admin and didn't had any problems.

There are a couple things (such as modifying the 'god' login name) that I have to work on to get it running but so far so good!
