Blank page when I install WHMCS -- what's happening?

[paperweight]

I am moving my WHMCS from one server/domain to another server/domain.

 

I) I first clicked the "Reissue" button at WHMCS.com.

 

2) Then I downloaded the zip, and then I re-uploaded it to my new server. I unzipped and changed the config file name. All easy!

 

3) The I go to /install/install.php and it's a blank page. Nothing. I have been like this for almost 24 hours. Over the last 24 hours I have done the following:

a) Cursed a lot ***

b) Downloaded and re-uploaded 3 times.

c) Rebooted my server multiple times.

d) Checked that my ioncube was installed. And I re-installed once.

e) Cursed much more.

f) Researched other non-WHMCS solutions, but decided WHMCS is the best and I want to keep it.

g) Cursed much more

h) Registered on this forum and placed this post

 

I also added this to my config file:

 

$display_errors = true;  

 

But, of course, that config file is still blank and I still see no errors because I have not been able to install this yet!

 

I know my details are not much, but I have also googled and searched on this forum and I see no other similar problem. Any ideas?

Step-by-step instructions can be found in our documentation: http://docs.whmcs.com/Licensing

Most importantly is copying the configuration.php file across, don't try and create a new one.

Unzip locally.

Upload/FTP all files as Binary NOT Auto or ASCII.

Yes, solved. I posted on another thread that I'm still unsure how it was solved -- this machine was identical to another machine running WHMCS. We re-installed ioncube a 3rd time and it worked. Still unclear why though... gremlins....
