I’m new to EE, and am running on MAMP locally on my Mac under OSX Lion. However everything is just a blank page.

Any ideas please?

You did follow the installation instructions?

Yep, and on step 4 I get a blank page.

The only thing I can think of that I’ve configured on my apache install is XDebug and IonCubeLoader.

Hi chamcham,

Welcome to the ExpressionEngine Forums!

Have you made sure to set the permissions according to the Install Guide?

What version of MAMP are you running? Have you tried switching between the available versions of PHP?

Open /admin.php and set $debug there. /index.php won’t be loaded in the installation process and the setting there has no effect because of that. If you don’t see error output after making the change in admin.php, change it in /system/installer/index.php as well.

I look forward to your reply!

Cheers,
