Failed install -- just blank VBAdvanced CMPS pages

[timmus]

I have installed VBAdvanced CMPS and uploaded all the required files to my forum, following the readme file to the letter.

However, when I run the admincp/vbacmps_install.php file, all I get is a blank frame (see attached image). I can see the vba_cmps section in my ACP but they are all asterisked except for Diagnostics, and Diagnostics shows the same blank screen. There are no errors indicated anywhere.

I edited the PHP code to add text "echo" breakpoints, and I find that the vbacmps_install.php script executes fine but halts on Line 13 at this command:

require_once('./global.php');

I do see that global.php exists in the same directory.

What is the problem?

UPDATE: I solved the problem... turns out I had logged in as root to install the files, which differed from the owner being displayed for the rest of vbulletin in ls -l. I did chown on the vBadvanced files and all suddenly worked.
