i just uploaded the files into my server, and tried to do the initial install (install.php), however, i can't get to that part because i just get a blank page. all i get is this in the source code of the page it spits out

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>


currently running ipb 1.3 so i have the general requirements to run a forum. about the specifics, currently "upload_tmp_dir" is set to "no value" and i believe sessions are disabled. (i think)

everything else are set. i have asked my host to fix this for me, but i'm kinda thinking these wouldn't cause the script to spit out a blank page. any other possible reason/fixes why this is happening?
