I just did a fresh installation, details below, and I'm getting a blank home page. If I view the source I see basic HTML header lines and an empty body. I looked in the archives and it seems like this might be a bug with 1.8.2, but I'd rather get some feedback before going to the hassle of downgrading. I moved LocalSettings.php as required. Win Server 2003, IIS6, PHP5, MySQL 4.1 The other installation details are (**** obscures some details for security):
