Re: Complete fresh install = blank website

yes it is 1.3.9h. What do I rename the admin folder to?

I've had a look at the link you provided but it's a little confusing

Thanks

Something super secret

Check the /cache for mydebug files

Might add a bit on what you use to FTP with and if any edits - - what editor you use

Did it work ad now not?

When you renamed the admin folder did you also edit the /admin/includes/configure.php file to reflect the new folder name?
As I recall there are only 2 places where you need to edit it

Re: Complete fresh install = blank website

Ok i changed the two admins in the configure file and that has done it!

I seem to be back to normal

Thanks for all your help
