Here's how you can help us help you:

1.) For those upgrading, please try uninstalling first then repeat the installation process before posting a bug. Not relevant as it is a clena install

2.) Always read the sticky posts. Done

3.) In reporting a bug, please at least provide the ff:
- server platform: Sun solaris
- mambo version: 4.5.2.1
- smf version: 1.0.3
- php version: 5
- webserver (apache or iis) apache

And the problem is. When I have set up both smf and mambo with the 1.3.1 download. Mambo will not load, I cannot get the front page to display.

I have also installed in mambo the following components:

Mambel fish, remository, bookmarks, mamboxplorer and site backup. They are all the most current versions from mamboforge.

Please help

I believe I am. The site is unfortuneately behind a corporate firewall, so I have no easy way of showing you the problem. What I can do is provide a screen shot of the config pages.

I thought it was a problem with the template that I was using, but I get the same issue with all the standard mambo templates, and I guess you don't.

I will pots screen shots here on Monday my time for you to see the config and the resulting frontpage.

BTW, once I uninstall the mambo-smf forum, mambo component, all is well, so my guess is it has to do with the code in the index.php, but I could be way wrong on that!

Thanks for your time.

No news is good news?
