Exact Joomla version?

Did you have CB 1.9.1 previously installed?

Turn on Joomla debug to maximum level and see if white screens now give error messages.

Well I can tell you the exact version since my admin doesnt now load now it just shows this :

Does your server error log show anything?

I have never seen this happen before on a new install.

This server is running on a QNAP apache version, so log files are not easy obtained for the webserver.

I have to say this freaking sucks, has ruined my day and now I have to restore from my last backup and figure out what chaged were made since then.

what files and database tables are edited during the install process ?

would deleting the component directories fix anything ?
