I am in the process of attempting to upload a site to a university server (UK, not US) and I am flying pretty much blind. As an external developer, we have had little information except some FTP details, and a location.
I have uploaded it, borked the server (now sorted by the admin). I can't check anything. I get a blank page. I was told that custom PHP scripts will be disabled, so does this mean Joomla will not run?
The directory tree is very odd too. I have uploaded to one location, tried the absolute paths, nothing. Then tried the paths the admin gave me - still nothing.
Even if I got an error page I would be happy!
Anyone have any experience of using UK-based university servers. I need a solution as we have two Joomla sites to upload, and I've spent a week trying to do just one.

btw, it's an .ac.uk domain if that's any help. They have Mysql 4.0.20, Apache servers, and PHP - not specified.
