Ok so I've had this problem before when installing (fresh copies of) MyBB 1.4. But now it's happening with 1.6. I have no idea if it's just my computer being slow when uploading and screwing up some files or what.
Anyway, when I install, the installer works perfectly. When it's done I'll try to view the forum and all I see is a blank white page.
Now when this happened to me before previously, I had Bob Jansen upload it for me and it worked fine. So is my computer screwing up files when I upload?
1) Change the FTP program you use.
2) Compress the whole directory that contains MyBB files (.zip) and upload it with the new FTP program. then decompress it through the file manager in the cpanel of your site.
Here is a free FTP program:

Good luck bro
View the page source, is it completely empty??
I am using FileZilla for Mac OS X 10.6.4

This is what the source code shows me:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<!-- start: index -->
<!-- end: index -->
Edit: Admin Panel is working. I'll check a couple other pages.
No templates have been imported, make sure the ./install/resources/mybb_theme.xml file exists and is properly uploaded.
It was uploaded correctly.
I went into the ACP and uploaded the mybb-theme.xml and it seems to be working correctly.
I just don't know why this happens every time I try to upload a forum.

Maybe your host doesn't support one of the XML functions required to import the theme, do you get any errors during install?
Lyndon, who is your host? They don't seem very good if you can't upload files to them properly.
I have a VPS, the same that MyBBWebHost uses.
There were no errors upon install.
I have the same problem! Install version 1.4 and the latest 1.6 same problem. Blank homepage! But still can access admin control panel. Even setting and configuring the site is ok.
I have just contact my hosting provider and here their answer:
