I've seen a lot of topics like this lately, and my answer is almost the same to everyone.
When you have a error in i.e a skin, IPB will show a with page instead of showing the real error. This can be a real nightmare, since you don't what's causing it.
But if can see the real error, it will help you, and especially those who are trying to help you. A white page could be thousand of thing, a error message will short it down to just a few.
So here we go.
The following instructions are for IP.Board 3.0 and above, for 2.3 instructions, go to page 2.
Open ./initdata.php and find:
Now you should see the real error. If you add that to your support topic, it would help a lot. Be warned, turning this on can generate a LOT of errors, but it's generally the last one, or anything that mentions a 'fatal error' that are typically the root cause of the problem.
