Well...after ALOT of trial and error, and then alook at the code that is included with FsPadmin 1.5, I finally resolved the issue
of the blank page and errors on the login. There was a combination of problems. The first and most imprtant being that with newer
releases of php you MUST use the formal php tag eg <?php "your tag here" ?>. Using the old informal tag e.g. <? "your tag
here" ?> will not work!
After I got the page to load, I saw that I had some permission settings that were not good. On unix systems you would need to chmod 777
to the files to give them read, write, execute. But on my windows system I had to go to IIS management console and give script access to
the files.
Now having said that I find it very odd that the instructions included in the readme file say nothing about this. I also find it
very odd that a "simple" and "basic" script that is designed for anyone to use hasnt been better commented and that it doesnt use the
formal tags as mentioned above.
I am not completely up and running yet, as I have another problem which I will start a new thread for, but my intention is to make available
a new version of this script with the corrected tags and better set of instructions for setting everything up. Something that is simple and
basic shouldnt take the better part of 3 days to get working.
