I have installed oscommerce on my XP box, running apache 2, php5, mysql.
Every thing works fine and is configured (server) correct.
I am able to view the customer side of the store perfectly, all the links work. All the database files were imported. All that is fine. Im running on a local machine, so my site isnt live.

BUT
**********The admin page is blank!!!!!!!!!!!!!************

When I surf to it (http://localhost/extreme/catalog/admin/) i get a blank page.
I do have catalog in a folder called called extreme .

I got a few suggestions in General Support, such as switching to php 4, and changing "define WS from /catalog/admin to /admin/" in configure.php.

I tried the define WS thing, to no avail. Do I really need to do something as drastic
as downgrading my php, or is there something Im overlooking?

Ive been at this for three days and cant seem to figure it out. Ive been all over the web looking for help. Does anyone have any ideas?
I have attached my admin/include/configure.php.

Could my include/configure be involved?

There is a problem running the admin under php5. Check your php error logs. It is a pretty easy fix:

admin/includes/classes/upload.php , on line 31

// self destruct
$this = null;

THIS should be :
// self destruct
$this == null;
