maybe a fifth possiblity, your out of gas. There is a fourth possibility, it could be a blown fuse to the fuel pump.

THERE ARE THREE POSIBILITIES,FUEL PUMP, IMPROPER INSTALL OF FILTER, OR DEBRIS IN FUEL LINE AFTER FILTER Where is pump? Intank pump should be pushing fuel out supply line at filter...You should be able to hear it "rattling' when key is on until it builds pressure.

Under hood pump is SUCKING fuel from tank and maybe through filter...a small leak at filter will not maintain enough vacuum to pull fuel out of tank...reinstall filter with a little lube on o-ring and try again. Once pump is "primed" it will function much better.

You need to make sure that there is not a o-ring stuck on the engine block from the old filter. sometimes the old gasket will stick to the engine block when you change the oil filter and it will leak everytime. If you don't find the problem there, then you will need to ask your question again.
