no error install, but no photopost access either

hey there! i am new to websites and php (but not to computers and windows). i installed photopost482 with phpbb2 today. i didn't receive any errors at any point during the install. however, after step four i got ... nothing. i mean, i choose external forum integration with phpbb2 and i believe i made all of the correct choices (phpbb2, admin email, site links and so forth), but nothing happened beyond that. the script seemed to run and the browser showed "done". i cannot run adm-index.php (or any other php except install). all of the database files appear to be there and in working order. i searched through these forums looking for clues and went back and checked all of my cookie, domain and database settings. i even read up on phpmyadmin and took a look at things there and i can't see any problems. it is a brand new website on a unix server running mysql4. there is a dummy page set up and phpbb2 which seems to be working correctly. site is http://www.papercraftprofessionals.org/ and phpbb is /forum and photopost is /photo
thanks! karen

If you were able to get through the install but then nothing showed I would make sure you have uploaded all the required files especially templates.

Your page source is <html><body></body></html>

So I would guess your missing the templates

okay, i'm really showing my ignorance here, but as far as i can see, my templates are all present and accounted for in /photo/templates. i have done a quick scan through practically everything, but don't see where i need to change any values for them to be found. where should they be? is it possible that the install ended abnormally (i've retried it many times with no greater success).

i can see the empty index.htm file (0 bytes) in the templates file - was there something i missed doing in order to have it work correctly??

thanks, karen
