BASE shows blank page

["USO" <usofwd () gmx net>]

Hi all,
I'm installing WIN-IDS according to the winsnort documumentation.
When i run http://localhost/console I get a blank page (same if I do /console/base_main.php).
http://localhost/test.php is running OK, so I assume that PHP is working fine.

Is there like a log so I can see what happens when IIS runs base_main.php?
I'm running this on Win2003 Srvr/MS SQL

appreciate your help.
