I scoured the help files first to avoid bothering anybody unnecessarily and even uninstalled and reinstalled several times from scratch to be sure that I didn't miss anything obvious.
During the web install --after phase2--I get redirected to a blank page rather than a log-in. 1) My path names are correct (/home/username/public_html/geek/) both in the config.php file and lib-common.php file. 2) tables were generated successfully in my MySql database. Is there anything else I can do? Regards and thanks, Stu
