I got pixelpost installed, and the admin panel is working just fine. I can upload pictures, and they get put in the images folder "/var/www/html/pixelpost/images/". Unfortunately, thumbnails are not generated and the main page is blank.

Here is my general info:

This is due to your php version that is just slightly outdated.

What makes the front turn up blank is specifically the "file_get_contents" function that I use.

Have a look here:

It seems to be an easy way to add this extra function for older php-installs. I have not tested it myself and I have heard from none who have tried it, but that should work. At least for that function, I can't swear that I'm not using other functions that's not availabe for you, but it's all rather basic so I'll hope that one addition could solve it.

Please let me know if it did the trick, if you decide to go this route.

Thanks, but I already decided to upgrade PHP, since aside from this issue, there was a security hole in the PHP version I was using. Upgrading fixed it, and I won't bore you with the long and painful story of upgrading when Fedora Core 1 let me down. :)
