Blank page instead of admin.php after installing Sentinel

I just installed Sentinel on my php nuke 7.8 site (patched with Patched 3.1), running on apache.

The instructions say "After uploading the files, Login to your PHP-Nuke admin.php screen", but when I try to go to the admin.php page I just get a blank white screen. Also if I go to the home page it is a blank white screen.

The steps I had taken prior to this white screen admin.php problem are:

- I edited the core files as per the instructions and uploaded them to the site.

- I uploaded all the other files as per the instructions

Also note:

- I haven't done anything with the sql files, because I intend to "use the import function found in NukeSentinel admin".

- Also I haven't done anything about putting up the .htaccess, .staccess, or .ftaccess files because it says not to do that until after you have set up the rest of nuke sentinel "otherwise you will be locked out of your sites admin section"

Most likely, there is a parsing error as a result of one of the file changes. Recheck check the edited files - try accessing the edited files directly to see where this might be.

Yeah thanks. Well, embarrassingly, the problem was that I somehow missed uploading the /includes/ folder files Neutral

That would also do it...glad you resolved it! Don't be embarrassed, that stuff happens to everyone.
