I have just installed the latest stable version 1.4.0 on an external Windows server. Things went well during the install but now I am running into a strange problem:
When I reload any wiki page in my browser (either Safari or Firefox), it comes back blank. This also happens on Firefox on the PC. The source it returns is: <html><body></body></html>
So I clear the browser's cache ... reload the page ... and everything is normal.
Any suggestions to the cause and / or solution to this problem?
I am a wiki newbie, so any help would be appreciated.

It might be useful to use a debugging tool of some sort to trace the exact HTTP transactions - I'm guessing the actual result is *completely* blank, and the browser is giving you *slightly processed* source code.
You could try the LiveHTTPHeaders extension: http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/livehttpheaders Alternatively, play with a command-line HTTP-request tool like 'wget', or use telnet to connect to the server and send 'spoof' requests by hand.
If your wiki is publically accessible, I'm sure I and/or other readers of this list will confirm the behaviour and see if we can diagnose it.
