Hi guys
I don't know whether this is a common problem , ut it certainly has me 
beat. PHP Wiki looks exactly like the product I need to use. I had set 
out to develop my own wiki, but hey, why re-invent the wheel?

Anyway I got the the compressed file, opened it up and extracted it to 
where I wanted to use the wiki. Si far so good. I read the installation 
notes, built a config. ini file, created a Mysql user password, 
installed the tables and did all that good stuff. then then in eager 
anticipation I called up the URL - nothing. just a blank screen. So I 
tinkered, scoured the net, re-installed. checked all teh instructions to 
the last detail and tried again, same result.

It seems to me that firts time out of the box PHP wiki needs to do 
something, but isn't just quite getting here. Nothing is broke ads there 
are no erors of 404 pages. Just a  blank screen. I know this is 
something simple and when I find the the answer it will be one of those 
homer j Simpson moments Duh!!, but for the life of me I cannot figure it 
out. I guess I could go through the code line by line, but is thre 
anybody there who has come across this problem before?

I should just mention the wiki is running on my development box, windows 
xp using apache v2 and MyQL. I am using PHP V5

Thanks in advance

JimB
