I just installed umbraco with web installer on windows server 2003. There were a few errors on install, and wouldn't install any of the starter packs, but it is now installed and I can login to the admin console. I then followed a quite old article on setting up document types, which all seemed straightforward. I then went to publish all the pages but only get blank pages with apparently no source code.
I can't see anything in the IIS logs & loaded ?umbDebugShowTrace=true after the URL, but can't seem to work out what's wrong.
Looking this up on the internet seems to point to a master template not being used, but this isn't set on each of the pages.
Do you have templates assigned to your DocTypes? If you don't, you need to assign default templates to each of the DocTypes on your site. Are there any templates in the settings/templates area of the CMS? If not, you'll need to create some (they're just asp.net masterpages). For more info on using templates, check these out:
If there are already templates assigned to the DocTypes, it could be that the templates are empty and don't have any code in. Be sure to check for that too!

Hi,
I just installed umbraco with web installer on windows server 2003.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tim,
