I just installed WP today and it seemed to go fine. The Admin pages come up and it looks like it's running. But my blog gives only a blank white page. I checked my database and WP never installed any tables. How can I install them now?
My host upgraded to php5 about a month ago but I've installed the previous version of WP on another site without a problem.
Not being smart, but I have to ask - Did you run the install.php script?

Yes. I even tried it again just in case, but it told me the install was already done.
Try forcing a database update and see if that helps. Did you get any errors when you ran the original install?

No, no errors. Trying The Force now...

Oops... can't go to the wp_options table because it doesn't exist. How do I do this when there are no tables?
I'd delete everything and drop the tables... then restart the install (my understanding is it is a new, empty blog).
I'm wondering how it is telling you that the install is already done when there aren't any tables. IIRC that (the option table) is what is checked when you do an install.
Any possiblity of an issue with the wp-config.php file?

moshu, tried deleting everything twice. No tables to drop.
actorjiml, that's what I'm wondering too. How can it even display the Admin stuff and the generic comment without tables? I checked phpMyAdmin and there's no tables. Config looks fine, far as I can tell.
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'mydbname'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'mydbuser'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mydbpass'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>If there are no tables... this doesn't make sense:

Yes, it makes no sense. But I'm suspecting it's an issue with my account being migrated recently to a new server, so I'm trying to get tech support there to help me check it.

Okay, that's why there were no tables. The host had to update something and now we have tables. I ran install but now that gives me a blank page. Please tell me I don't have to start from scratch again.
EDIT: I ran install again and it give me the "already installed" thing again, but the blog is still blank.
::sigh:: starting over

Is FINALLY running! Hope I haven't gone over my FTP quota.
