Maybe you have the regulator dialed down to 0? Or the Gauge could be broken, I've seen broken gauges before too.

The pressure regulator needs to be "dialled in" to the correct pressure.

The top of the regulator forms the cap, which needs to be lifted in order to turn (kind of like a child-proof bottle) then when you push it back down it locks in place.
