Super Noob (Back again)

I posted this in the general forum, got a lot of views but very few replies. I figured I would try here.

 

Here is my problem:

 

I have installed oscommerce on my XP box, running apache 2, php5, mysql.

Every thing works fine and is configured (server) correct.

I am able to view the customer side of the store perfectly, all the links work. All the database files were imported. All that is fine. Im running on a local machine, so my site isnt live.

 

BUT

**********The admin page is blank************

 

When I surf to it (http://localhost/extreme/catalog/admin/) i get a blank page.

Yes, its in a folder called extreme .

 

I got a few suggestions in General Support, such as switching to php 4, and changing "define WS from /catalog/admin to /admin/" in configure.php.

 

I tried the define WS thing, to no avail. Do I really need to do something as drastic

as downgrading my php, or is there something Im overlooking?

 

Ive been at this for three days and cant seem to figure it out. Ive been all over the web looking for help. Does anyone have any ideas?

Rich,

 

Even if the site is local to your machine, it's still not a good idea to post credentials.

 

I would suggest remove the ssl stuff. Also, some of the paths are commented as "absolute path only" but you have relative paths.
