I've successfully installed Sharepoint 2010 as per Page 42 of the book. According to the installation instruction if the installation is successful I should see the new sharepoint website home page. But for me it displayed a blank web page.

The installation and configuration process actually completed successfully. So I am not sure if this is some sort permission problem or am I actually missing something.

Any help would be most appreciated

MOSS has some great walkthrus and 'how-tos'. I used this one to install my development Sharepoint 2010 server:

There's also an accompanying guide for SQL Server 2008 - it's about halfway down the page.

MOSS is a great guide for a lot of Microsoft products - give it a look.

Thanks for the tip.
