Here's an update on this issue. I uninstalled PHP from my test server and reinstalled it manually according to instructions given in this document . Still get only a blank page. The document said to make a new index.php containing only the phpinfo() function. I did that and it properly returned the ...

Since you hosting provider has told you it is their security policy that prevents it from working, you need to find a provider that can support phpBB3.

That is not the same problem I am experiencing. My installation runs perfectfully, creates all the database objects and populates the tables with the initial data. I just can't get any of the php pages to display after installing. Since this has been defined as a security issue by your hosting provi...

Yep...I'm totally lost too. Everything I have tried gives the same results.

I WILL find it though.

Thanks for all of your help and persistance in trying to find this gremlin. I'll post the cause when I find it.

Okay, next wild guess... I've been making them all day and none of them have worked.

I'm really beginning to suspect something in the php config but I don't know what to look for.

Yep...same result with any php file. What is so strange about it is that the install executes but nothing else will. I can still go the the install page and it will execute now. Could it be something in .htaccess or config.php? Config.php is tiny and only has 18 lines including tags and blank lines....

I just finished wiping out everything--site, database and DSN--then completely reinstalled from the beginning. Once again everything went great during the install (I have screen shots of each page, 11 in all, if interested) but clicking the "Login" button on the final page of the install p...

I have around 35 other test sites on the same server with no problems. I did some more testing and here is what I found. I can show any image file in the browser using the same path (i.e. //dev/phpbb/images/smilies/icon_arrow.gif or //dev/phpbb/styles/prosilver/imageset/site_logo.gif). I created a n...

I just reinstalled 3.0.0 and still get the same results...nothing!

Well, that didn't provide anything. The latest request was a get that returned a 200 0 0 and no entry in the HTTPERR file.

Waiting on a reboot right now...had Windows updates waiting to complete. Microsoft Support says the "400 - Hostname" error results because "A parse error occurred while processing a Hostname." I'll reply after the reboot completes. I enabled debugging and display errors. We'll se...

I take that back...the HTTPERR log file has this entry:

2007-12-14 16:43:17 192.168.1.103 1104 192.168.1.100 80 HTTP/1.1 GET /phpbb/index.php 400 - Hostname -

The only thing I see in any logs is a get request for /phpbb/index.php in the w3svc log file. The request returned a 200 (success).

I also rebooted the webserver and that didn't help either.

The last page with any content was the successful installation page with a button to continue to the forum. I even received my installation succussful email with a link that displays, you guessed it, a blank page.

Already did that.
