yes!!!

php4 was enabled as default on my hosting server.

as the hosting company website indicated, by inserting

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

to .htaccess file,

php5 is enabled, and now i do see the settings screen damn clearly!

i guess correctly setting it up will take more time and many steps, but at least the first is complete!

maybe it will solve many plugin compatibility problems as well.

thanks valgorn!!!
