Troubleshooting Questions When I go to www.yourdomain.com/installfiles/install1.php I see a blank page? This may be due to a bad upload of the installation files. Using FTP software (i.e. Leech FTP) please login and re-upload install.php, install2.php, install3.php. Please refresh your web browser. If you are still receiving a blank page you might be having a PHP error that is being logged to a file instead of printed to the screen. This also may be due to your domain name DNS is not parked at your ftp server. I received an error after giving the wizard my database information? This is most likely due to invalid database information given to the wizard. Or due to a bad upload of the table sql files in the db folder (re-upload db folder). To try to reinstall simply refresh the page. Is support offered? To keep the price down only bug support is offered for free.
