Hi.

I wanted to post this problem on the phplist forums, but so far their confirmation-to-registration email hasn't arrived in my inbox.

I'm trying to install PHPList. After making some changes to the config.php file, I uploaded everything and tried to run the init script (admin/index.php) but got a blank page (view source revealed only <!-- using ../config/config.php --> ). I checked the error log and there was nothing (I even disabled the htaccess protection on the config.php file and accessed it directly, and there were no errors -- they say this is usually the cause of a blank page).

The only other possible difference in my situation is that instead of installing to mydomain.com/lists/, its in mydomain.com/phplist/, but the documentation made it sound like it didn't matter so long as the path was specified in config.php. So the relevant lines in my case are
$pageroot = '/phplist';
$adminpages = '/phplist/admin';

The one thing that confuses me there, though, is that the comments which precede those lines say, 'you cannot actually change the "admin", but you can change the "lists"'. This makes it sound like $adminpages MUST point to /lists/admin -- but then that would mean that I couldn't rename the lists folder! So I'm not sure if what I've done is okay.

Any suggestions?

I found the problem -- though it did take a lot of poring through the code. I didn't want to hardcode all the database info (username, pass) into the phplist code, so I included my standard file which contains that info; this file in turn included some functions, one of which was called sendMail() -- and this conflicted with another function by the same name that's part of the phplist set of functions.
