phpbb admin problems

Hey guys, I just installed phpbb on a hosted server. Everything in the Forum works great accept the admin control panel. When i click on it, it just brings up a blank, white page. I have the permissions set right, and the config also looks correctly adjusted (Hopefully). I must say this; During setup i choose download config file to computer. but that came up a white screen.. So i whent to 'view source' and got the code from there, and maybe thats what whent wrong? here is what my config file says

I of course had to change things for security purpose Wink

Now does that look too short for a config file? I hope you guys can answer my questions, thanks for your help Smile

It actually looks too long - try deleting those extra bits of HTML before and after the PHP tags, like this:

Quote:

<?php

// phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file
// Do not change anything in this file!

$dbms = 'mysql';

$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbname = 'mydb';
$dbuser = 'myuser';
$dbpasswd = 'mypass';

$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';

define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);

?>
