[TYPO3] Nothing at all shows in FE (SOLVED!)

[Hans Kristian Lintrup]

Hi Erik.

You are right about my location :) Thank you for the response.

I actually managed to solve the problem. The weird part of my problem 
was that the images was shown if located in /media/uploads which is in 
the src of TYPO3. Why was TYPO3 able to locate resources in a subfolder 
of the src directory, but not the dummy direcory?

The answer is:

Quote Start
After some investigation it turned out that the current working 
directory used in index.php is no longer the link source directory 
"PATH_site/", but the link target "/path/to/typo3_src/". Therefore, the 
relative paths used to include libraries via TS, like in my case 
templavoila, were no longer found.
Quote End

SOURCE: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=6158

The issue was introduced in file index.php in PHP 5.2.4 and corrected in 
PHP 5.2.5.

I solved my problems by going from PHP 5 -> PHP 4 on my webserver 
(Danhost) I've also contacted them about the issue and asked them to 
provide more information about their version of PHP than just the major 
version.

Thanks again for the response.
