Blank Admin Page After Installation - Hosted on Godaddy

For me, there was no problem with the godaddy install of 1.3.8a; however, the php.ini issue is not specific to ZC; it comes into play with other applications/scripts that may want to interact with ZC.

After verifying your version of PHP as referenced by hikenny 19th September 2008, 11:15 PM (post 12), create/modify php.ini in the root if you are running PHP4 or create/modify php5.ini in the root if you are running PHP5.

This is still not making sense, I changed the php.ini to php5.ini physically. Is that what I am suppose to do? Am i suppose to change anything in the actual file? It looks the same as what is in the file text produced from hikenny above. Where am I going wrong here?

Most of what was explained just is not making sense to me. What am I suppose to do with this php.ini file? Is this the reason why I am not being able to log in into the admin area? I have GoDaddy and lynx on it, and have never installed any type of shopping cart on it, so if that matters any please let me know. I am sorry if this is sounding stupid, but explanation can be the key and it is not being explained in a way that I am able to understand.

Appreciate any help on this matter as I am really wanting to utilize zencart, but does no good if if it does not work for me. :(

Thanks,
Jay

I'm having the same issue, I really need help with this if someone has a clue and a more detailed explanation!!

Godaddy users - here is something that worked perfect for me:

Very simple and is available through Godaddy directly.
