Problem deploying site. Gets white page.

This is a little repost from the "Developer to developer"-section but I first posted it there out of habit.

So our site has reached the point when it's time to put it out for testing on a subdomain. I've taken the steps that Frederik Vig mentions in his blog http://www.frederikvig.com/2009/12/part-8-preparing-for-launch-create-an-episerver-site-from-scratch/ besides the part where he uses Unleash It to copy the files needed. Instead I just put a copy of the entire project folder on to the server.

I followed the rest without any problems to it and when I test the site I only get a white page containing:

<!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>

I can reach ApplicationInitializing.txt from it so the subdomain seems to be set up correctly. Any ideas of what causes the problem? Is it because I didn't use a publisher to do copy the files? I don't see the difference. I've tried to use publish-function in Visual Studio but I get "Publish failed".
