Don,
I'll give that a shot but I now suspect some transient effect related to running the script too soon after creating the account and uploading files. Trying to load the page now yields different and bigger problems (something to do with open_basedir apparently). Please could you let me know what the absolute path to a file in my public_html directory is so that I can fix the new problem? Come to think of it, if this info is somewhere else in the support section, I'd love to know where - I searched but couldn't find it.
Thanks again,
Dave
