Blank forumindex after activativating sitemap

I downloaded the latest version of the modded PHPBB and installed in successfully. After a week i decided to enable the sitemap and rss options of this mod. From that moment my forum index wasn't working any more.

My other pages are working fine. I recovered all files with no success. I recovered a backup of my database with no success. On a test machine (i deleted already) it worked like a charm.

Help would be appreciated.

It seems to be a problem with the language files. After removing the database and all files and starting all over and installing the seo mod with a default english language it went fine.

Later i switched the forum to the preferred language.

Ho this is normal, well it could be better, but that's what happens when language files are corrupted (with a space char after ?> for example) with phpBB3, blank page without error message even in debug mode.

So you just need to make sure that you manually mod any additional language pack (other than French and English) since the install won't provide the required code changes.
Our mods code change are always at the bottom of existing files or in separate files. Look at the premodified files of the mod you are using in contrib/ to find out which files are updated or added and where.
