Solved. And I’m a moron.
Wonderful things will happen once your brain wakes up and you remember to check your error logs.
Turns out, I tried to put an apostrophe in the *middle* of the entry value under “$bb->name =”
Seems that it caused an “Unexpected T_STRING on line 20 in /blog/forums/config.php” which was what ultimately “blanked out” the install.php script.
My appreciation and apologies go out to all whose time I’ve wasted. Namaste.
I uploaded everything, yet the install.php page is blank. Everything was uploaded to my server in ASCII mode like everyone suggests. I’ve retried quite a few times to no avail. Every time I go to my bb-admin/install.php it remains blank. I’m attempting to upload the bbpress folder and contained files to the root directory of my blog (i.e. http://www.example.com/blog ) – Is that a bad idea?
Okay. So, what’s going on when the same thing happens even though everything was made sure to upload in ASCII mode? I watched the entire FTP process log in the making and absolutely every file was uploaded in none other than ASCII mode.
I am afraid I do not understand. This was looking so hopeful, too…
Any and all assistance is always appreciated. Namaste.
