   Hi everyone
   I think this is a known problem. When I go to wp-admin/install.php there is always a blank/empty site. But how to fix it?
   (All Browsers (Mozilla/Konqueror) show me a blank site).
   thank you for your helps
   regards

   I am having the same problem.. Talk to my host? It's me! But, I have yet to figure out what I am doing wrong.
   I am running Debian Sid w/ Apache2, and PHP with PHP-MySQL installed.
   Any help on what is wrong would be appreciated.

   Same problem here, with Debian and Apache2. I've tracked the problem down to the file wp-includes/wp-db.php, line 32, the @mysql_connect call. It looks like this call fails silently, somehow. I don't know enough about PHP-MySQL to diagnose this, but PHP-MySQL definitely works for other apps installed on my server...

   Check http://example.com/wordpress/phpinfo.php to see if your server supports MySQl, and what options php was compiled with.

   OK, Found this with the help of illya23b's post.
   This should be put into a FAQ somewhere on here or something.
   Load up your php.ini file in /etc/apache2/php.ini
   Find the line ';extention=mysql.so' and uncomment it (remove the ;)
   Then restart Apache2. Should work fine :)
   Good luck.

   Hi everyone
   Yep this config is working for me too ... many thanks to all!
   Check http://example.com/wordpress/phpinfo.php to see if your server supports MySQl, and what options php was compiled with.
   <- this was my first problem. I've forgotten to install the php-mysql support (shame on me). apt-get install php4-mysql ;-) fix this problem.
   this is to edit wp-config.php, and insert the line:
   dl("mysql.so");
   somewhere in there, for instance before the four define() calls.
   <- that was the second thing I had to change.
