Install Window won't show during /install/install.php

[Signal 12]

I believe I have the SQL database, config.php, and everything else in order.

My problem is, when I type in my web address with /install/install.php, instead of a prompt window showing up, I get a totally blank white screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Michael

To add, I've used both firefox and microsoft explorers, with and without the google toolbars, etc. Still nothing.

The white pages are due to one of these causes:

1. You did not upload the vB files correctly. Reupload the vB non-image files and make sure you upload these in ASCII format and that you overwrite the ones on the server. Make sure you upload the 3.0.7 Admin CP files to the admincp directory specified in your config.php file.

2. You do not have a config.php file in your includes directory. You need to copy config.php.new to config.php, then edit this file with the correct database info.

3. You have extra space or lines in your config.php file. Make sure there is no whitespace or extra lines in config.php either before the <?php or after the ?>.

4. Your PHP is not compiled with XML support.

5. Your PHP is not compiled with MySQL support.

Up and running, thanks for the help.


It turned out a few folders, including config.php were not present in the includes folder. Odd, but it's fixed now.

I'm having the same problem. My server is WinNT running IIS 4 (I know ... I know ... working on an upgrade). I have php and mysql running. (I have other apps that use mysql.)

I downloaded the vbulletin zip file directly to the server, unzipped it, and used Windows Explorer to move the files in the forums subfolder of my document root. I get the following error messages when I try to run install.php

I've made sure that there are no extra spaces in the config.php file. Any other ideas? (BTW - I've installed vbulletin many times on Unix boxes with Apache instead of IIS.)

I get this when I try to navigate to the instal/instal.php:

Access to the webpage was denied

You are not authorized to access the webpage at http://www.teamdriven.net/install/install.php. You may need to sign in.

Any suggestions? I followed this tutorial for setting everything up (so far anyway) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTa0FA1y9Vw
