i newly installed smf 1.0.5
after installation ended without any errors, and i joined the board, i saw all the pages white.
and images are not showing.
all the paths are true. what can be the problem?
(all the skins the same, i tried to switch into smf default and other themes, but they are the same)

Search your database for old out of date URLS.

forum is newly installed
database is new. my database contains nothing but the sql entries by smf installation.
and if you mean secure mode of php, its not active on the host..

Does your server fullfill the SMF requirements?
The right php and Mysql versions installed?

To get the version create a file called phpinfo.php and init put

<php?

phpinfo();

?>

my server meets all the requirements of smf, as the server itself uses smf.
and i solved the problem.
it was about the chmod settings of files.
i gave free access to all files (chmod 777) and now everything is ok

You dont need to chmod all files - also because this is a security risc!

Folder & Files which should be chmoded (777)

    *    'attachments'
    *    'avatars'
    *    'Packages'
    *    'Packages/installed.list'
    *    'Packages/server.list'
    *    'Smileys'
    *    'Themes'
    *    'agreement.txt'

Sometimes you need to chmod more but SMF will tell you that i think.
At least the 1.0.5 update release missing a install readme.

This is not a security risk.  It has been said before.  Read this "Why chmod 777 is NOT a security risk"
