   I'm having some problems installing wordpress 2.3.2. I'm running PHP 5.2.5, Mysql 5.0.37

   After I setup my wp-config.php I get a blank page. If I show tables on the mysql database I've created, there's nothing in there, but I've checked at least 20 times that my login credentials work properly from that host.

   I've set error reporting to E_ALL and I only get these two errors from my php log:

   [31-Jan-2008 15:27:04] PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /content/apache2/myblog.com/htdocs/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 286
   [31-Jan-2008 15:17:52] WordPress database error Table 'enterprise2blogwp.wp_options' doesn't exist for query SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'siteurl'

   Here's my wp-config.php

   <?php
   // ** MySQL settings ** //
   define('DB_NAME', 'myblog');    // The name of the database
   define('DB_USER', 'wordpress');     // Your MySQL username
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypassword'); // ...and password
   define('DB_HOST', 'dbprod01');    // 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');

   Also my script memory limit is set to 64M so this is not the problem.

   I've tried 2.3.1 and 2.3.2. No luck so far.

   The only potential variant is that we are running ioncube on this.

   I tried removing the ioncube_loader and that did not solve the problem.

   Someone sent me an export .sql from a wordpress blog runing with mysql 4.1.2

   I was able to import and the tables and content looked in in mysql 5.0.45, and wordpress does NOT complain of connection error. I too, am staring at blank pages.

   I read somewhere the other day something about a mysql 5.0.4? problem with "order of tables" but I haven't been able to find it again.

    Does Wordpress provide professional support services that I can pay for to get this resolved?

    Seems like an install of the new Wordpress solved my problem :-)
    In sum: for me the 2.3.2 version didn't work and the 2.3.3 version DOES work :-)

    Hi MelleG,

    Can you tell us where you've found version 2.3.3 ?

    I don't find it... :-(

    After 2 hour searching

    fixing it :
    in php.ini : option log error in a file (don't remember the exact syntaxe)
    -> log_error : On
    -> specify a filename for logerror some line after

    done.

    restart a fresh install

    worked with a 2.5 rc1 + php5 + mysql5

    Brievly: it seems that if php do not log error in a file , wordpress won't install

    Error logging wasn't the problem for me. I'm getting blank pages too. So annoying.

    I had the same problem with Wordpress 2.5, php 4.*, mysql 4.*. When I tried to run /wp-admin/install.php I was getting a blank page.
    I had an older version of Wordpress installed before but I deleted all the old files before uploading a new version.
    I had to do two things to fix the installation problem.
    1. I deleted the old .htacess file. It's not visible in my usual ftp client. I had to invoke ftp from a command line and ran "delete .htaccess". Be careful if there are some other bits on your site that may already use this file, make sure you know what you are doing.
    2. Check the Wordpress files you uploaded so there are no missing files and the directory structure is correct. Some weird stuff happened to my first upload. I re-uploaded all files again.
    It fixed my problem.

    I believe its because the function is crashing on mysql_fetch_field the faulty code is :

    wp-includes/wp-db.php

    between lines 254 to 257 :

    while ($i < @mysql_num_fields($this->result)) {
    $this->col_info[$i] = mysql_fetch_field($this->result);
    $i++;
    }

    if you comment it you would have sorta working. I guess its only a problem between php5.2.5 and mysql4.x and upgrading should be the problem. I guess this bug report on php.net is the same thing as well :
