step 2 of the installer is blank (2 posts)

    I am trying to install WP on my local Windows machine. I configured MySql as required and started the installer by going to the following page:
    http://localhost/wp/wordpress-3.0.1/wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php

    On the 1st try, I tried to let the installer create it's own wp-config.php . The DB credentials page comes up fine but after I click submit, the page hangs for a while, until it simply becomes blank.
    The URL in this case is :
    http://localhost/wp/wordpress-3.0.1/wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=2

    On the 2nd try, I tried to set the wp-config.php myself, by providing all the necessary database credentials. The result was exactly the same. The page was taking long to load and eventually it appeared as a blank page.

    Looking at the database, I noticed that no tables where created, which leads me to believe that the installer was not able to connect to the database. Also, when I let the installer create its own wp-config.php, I did not see the file being created at all.

    Any idea what may be wrong? Are there any logs that can point me to the problem?

    THANKS!!!
