    I'm getting a simple blank page with just empty head and body tags... The forum was working on another server, than i transfer all files to another server, import the whole database and change the config file and all i'm getting is a blank page... Not even an error with error reporting on E_ALL.

    Does anyone know what the problem could be ?
    I have the problem local and on the server.

    Do you want to try the phpbb support forums?

    If I had to guess, I would think it is a database problem.

    Also, this sounds ridiculous, but make sure your new host supports php ?

    Test first, can you make a simple text index.html file come up ?

    Was the original site "hacked" somewhat, do you need to x-fer the hacks?

    Not sure what else to recommend.

    i made a file test.php with echo phpinfo();
    and all shows correctly...

    I also did some further testing and seem the problem is something with the categories hierarchy mod for phpbb. I don't know anything about this mod and uninstalling will solve the problem I think .. But how ?
