update
Hi
Thanks one and all, even more confused now
If I type in
Admin.php
I do see a login page.
I'm using the admin section for an admin backend and the normal search
boats_search.php displays perfectly on my web server so I'm assuming the php version is OK
lastly I added the error code
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>
and I still see a blank screen and no code in the view source screen.
What really puzzles me is it works on my wamp server
all good fun
cheers
Ian
