All Pages Display as Blank

Question

All Pages Display as Blank

I've just installed iLife '09 under a fresh installation of OS X 10.6.2, and updated it to current versions of everything.

After opening iWeb 3.0.1 for the first time, it displays nothing. New pages have no content - only a blank gray area. It doesn't matter which template or page I choose. Gray. Blank. Everything else is as it should be, but nothing at all will display in the main work area.

I've uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted Domain.sites2, deleted prefs files, deleted iWeb's cache files, performed a safe boot, and repaired permissions, all to no avail. I can't get anything to display in the main work area, though watching the inspector during random clicking tends to indicate that objects are there.

I'm baffled.

Suggestions?

Mac Pro 2x2.26 Quad, et al, Mac OS X (10.6.2), OS X Server 10.6.2

Did you delete all of the iWeb receipts in the HD/Library/Receipts folder before you reinstalled iWeb? If not do so and install again.

Thanks for the suggestion - I neglected to mention I'd done so.

You mention that you deleted domain.sites2. Have you tried creating a new, blank one and launching it in iWeb?

If Roddy's suggestion doesn't help try the following;

1 - open iPhoto and create a new album with 3 or 4 photos.
2 - select the album and click on the iWeb button in the lower toolbar. (If you don't have an iWeb button use the View->Show in Toolbar menu option to add it).

If it doesn't work the first time try it again. Give it at least 3 attempts before writing off as not working. It's a long shot but helped fix a vaguely similar problem with a previous version of iWeb.
