   Using Win 7 and Xampp to set up a staging area for our new website.

   I can create posts, edit, all of the backend is working fine, but the blog itself only will display a blank page. Direct linking to a post does the same thing; just white.

   Clean install of the latest version of WP, no imported data.

   Googled; found information that people have problems with themes. Changed theme several times; all themes including the default are doing the same thing.

   Port isn't blocked (according to Xampp).

   Same in all browsers.

   Added the following line to index.php
   

   <?php
   error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
   ini_set("display_errors", 1);>

   Now all pages display the error:
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\index.php on line 7

   Now, index.php doesn't even have 7 lines. I'm unsure what to do from here. Help?

   [EDIT:] looks like the Parse Error was because I forgot the question mark at the end of the php error part... but that means I'm back to a blank screen. Help!

   Howdy,

   I just did a new, fresh WP 3.0.1 install on XAMPP, Windows 7 Home Premium and all is fine ... front and back end.

   Did you try doing another install just to see? I also installed a couple of themes I built with Artisteer and they are all working as expected.

   BTW, I am a Uniform Server fan and only use XAMPP to try duplicating "issues" others are experiencing with it.

   Cheers!
   Lyle
