    Problems Installing on Hostgator

    Hi all,

    I've been trying to install vBulletin 5 Connect on my Hostgator server, and I've been having issues getting install.php to work. I go through [domain]/install/install.php in my web browser, give my customer number, fill out the config.php details, and it successfully creates the files. However, when I try to return to [domain]/install/install.php to begin installation as is described in the readme under "Running the Install Wizard" steps 8-9, I get a white page with no buttons or anything.

    I'm not sure what to do - I'm not sure if it's related to the issue, but I've been putting the files in a folder in my public domain as opposed to the public domain itself. I've been doing that because I have a placeholder site of sorts up and I wanted to build the vBulletin site before pulling the old one down. Is that where my problem lies?

    Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

    Doesn't seem to be redirecting. Go to [domain]/folder/core/install/install.php and does it work then?

      Apologies, I should have clarified. I did specify the folder ([domain]/folder/core/install/install.php) as you described when I got the results I described above.

        Please open a support ticket by going to http://www.vbulletin.com/go/techsupport/

        We need to see the issue first hand and will need access to your installation.
