Having tried to install several times I am at the end of my wits::-(

I tried to install My Little Forum:
- I did run the install
- After install the forum just opens as a blank screen.

Examination learned me:

-that the database is created and that all the database-fields are there.

- Viewing the source of the file "forum/index.php" after opening in InternetExplorer, where the forum should open, only contains this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
So the blank screen is a logical result.

- reading the file config/db_settings.php learned that this file contains the information I entered during installation.

- Then I checked if the filenames of the files which are going to be included, were not changed, during uploading, to capitals. But no, everything is just as in the zipfile.

- Tried to open the forum on several computers, but always the blank screen appears.

- I Deinstalled and re-installed the database again and again, just to make sure that I am not gone into some kind of banning. However after each installation the blankscreen is still there on opening the forum. I thought about this because in the to be included files the text //DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional// (see above) is only in de files "banned.inc.php"

Can anybody tell me what is happening?

Thx.
