patches broken?

Hey,

I'm trying to install 7.2 + patch fix on my server (I previously had 7.1 w/o patch fix). However, when trying to go to index.php after installing the patch, all I get is a blank white screen. Same problem occurs when going to admin.php.... I'm really new at this.

I copied the contents of the html folder in the 7.2 final distribution to my desired site directory, then I overwrote some files in that directory with the files from the patch.... that's all I have to do right?

(Also, Raven the sites I pm'ed u about are back up.)

You need to install the database and tables and then modify config.php to reflect the correct MySQL settings.

i found out the problem - i'm using mac os x 10.3, and when i pasted over the files, the OS just replaced the entire folder instead of simply overwriting the material (i noticed this because the includes folder inside the http folder shrank by alot).

it works fine now
