I've uploaded a test site and connected to my hosts MS SQL db ok. I logged in to Admin and ran all my dbs mod files ok. So far so good. I can browse the forum but when I go into one of the admin pages like admin_config_system I get inc_header displayed correctly then it displays the file header including copyright notice, part of the script then table. See here for a screen shot. (Warning 233kb.)
As the files and site run fine on my test server at home the only thing I can think of is that I am accessing the site through a temp dns http://jasminportal.stephendoyle.net/ until the domain name is ready and something is messed up with the admin cookie?
BTW I wouldn't have a clue how to search for an error like this in the archives. Has anyone seen this before .. or am I continually breaking new ground around here.
