you're right. i was looking at the wrong log!
so now that i'm looking at the right log, i found that i had a syntax error in my php.ini file. I modified to turn on error handling but I must have messed it up.
i took someone's suggestion and isntalled code igniter in a new directory and started adding my mvc(s) one at a time. I'm giong to give that a try and see where I end up.
thanks.
