I successfully installed vbulletin, or at least I received the "successful install" message after completing installation process. I deleted the install.php file as instructed. When I click the "here" link to the control panel all I see is a blank white screen. The URL is correct.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but there was no file named config.php in the download. There was a file config.php.new, which I assumed was the proper config file, so I renamed it to config.php.
Here is the source for the index.php file as displayed in my browser. As you can see, there is nothing there.

I don't know if this is anything to do with it, but the value I added during installation for the BB URL was http://www.merrypranksters.com/vbulletin. Should this have had more info, such as https://www.merrypranksters.com/vbul...min/index.php? Also, the actual directory structure is https://www.merrypranksters.com/www/...min/index.php, but I never add the "www". But I don't see why these directory issues would have affected the creation of the index.php3 since the install process obviously found the files ok or it would have returned errors.
I also sent this to tech support. Any suggestions from the community?
