I have a MOSS 2007 installation on a Win 2008 box, with IIS7. I can get the main IIS page to display, but whenever I go into Central Admin, all I get is a blank screen. The source is :
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
Any ideas anyone ?

There are no errors, however I have used Fiddler to have a look at the HTTP stream, and find I'm getting HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorised.
I've given the everyone group all rights to the virtual directory, but still no joy, still a blank screen and Unauthorised.

Fixed it !

I found that one of the services that SharePoint obviously needs ( but the install didn't say ) was the application service. Installed that, and all went well.
Wish MS would check all the services it needs during the install - it does some, but somehow missed that one. Grrrrr.
