This has been frustrating me for a few days now. As I posted earlier, I ran an upgrade from 3.0.6 to 3.2.5 and my admin screen came up blank.
Got one suggestion that didn’t work, so thinking it might have something to do with the upgrade, I tried a clean install with a brand new database. I followed all of the instructions in the manual but got the same exact result. The admin page looks like this:
My original install (that I upgraded) is at http://eventertainment.biz/mail/
The clean install is at http://eventertainment.biz/lists/
Can anyone out there help me figure this out?
My server uses php 5.4. My config file looks like this:
<?php
