Does it work if you replace $_POST with $HTTP_POST_VARS? If yes, then you probably have an old PHP version. PHP-Nuke (starting from 6.5, I think) needs at least PHP 4.1.x (see the INSTALL file).

It'seem it has something to do with the PHP version, but not because it's too old:

Just installed apache 2, php5, MySQL and phpNuke on a W2K machine. php5 and apache 2 working just fine. tested the header() function as well and it works ok with multiple variations.
Tried changing the header('Location: index.php'); script in the mainfile.php of phpnuke as suggested and as suggested by the PHP manual but to no avail.
Interestingly the whole thing worked in minutes without a glitch on MacOSX Panther.

Any thoughts, help?

Thanks

I am having the same problem. I think it has to do with the internet program used, because I can not access it at home (Windows ME, Internet Explorer) or at a school computer in one of the classrooms (Windows XP Pro, Internet Explorer), but it I can access it from the computer in my school library (Windows XP Pro, Mozilla Firefox).

Could this be the security settings of IE?

I just installed phpnuke 7.5 and I face a problem with the index.php. It stays blank. The whole website is working perfectely, all the modules, all the things... just the index.php is blank.

I guess it doesn't concern the same problem as mentioned by other users since there are newer versions op phpnuke and php now.

Who has advice?

You haven't configured something properly. This means an incorrect installation.

Does your sit ework if you go to www.yoursite.com/index.php?

If I had to guess, your problem is you have a blank index.html page and an index.php page. You need to delete the index.html page.

If you don't have an index.html page, and your www.yoursite.com/index.php exists, then look at the file. Does it have anything written in it?

If not, then you failed to install everything correctly and should do it over from the top - it only takes about ten minutes and since you can't see the home page, you probably don't have any members yet.

First, check for a blank index.html file. If there, handle as above. If not, go down.

Second, check for an empty index.php file. If so, then reinstall nuke, if not, then post back here.

If or when you post back here, refer us, by link, to the instructions you followed to install Nuke. And tell me, specifically, any step of the instructions you had a hard time figuring out.

Thank you for your reply Racine !

Your questions:
- Does your sit ework if you go to www.yoursite.com/index.php? -> No
- There is no index.html

How I installed:
- extracted the phpnuke pack
- uploaded all the files in /html/ to the webserver
- loaded the sql file in the sql database
- configured the config.php

Everything works, all the modules, and other stuff but clicking on "home" gives thus a blank page.

INTERESTING: I installed the phpnuke on a webhost of my friend (just in the same way) and there it worked just fine. So I guess the problem lies with my webhost. Although he doesn't know what he needs to change in php. Any tips ??

I already tried to create a .htaccess file with PHP_FLAG output_buffering on ,but it didn't change anything.
