   I'm trying to install this nice piece of software, but having trouble with it... Namely, a blank screen (empty HTML), when going to the /blog/index.php page... =(
   Have checked out prevous posts, but none of them have actually helped me...
   I'm running Debian Linux unstable with PHP 4.3.9 with php4-mysql module installed, Apache 1.3.31 with mod_rewrite installed and enabled, MySql 4.0.21, up and running (PHPMyAdmin had no problems connecting to it). I have double-checked everything. And, my browser of choice is the recommended Mozilla Firefox v0.9.3.
   What could be the problem, I'm wondering?.. =/

   Mmh, is there anything in your logs ? Ho, and did you run the installation first ?

   What logs specifically? Apache's error.log doesn't show anything on WordPress. I followed whatever was in the "5-minute install" on WordPress Wiki. Created a blank database, edited wp-config.php accordingly (I did similar things million times, triple-checked everything there already, it's all OK). This should have done the trick, didn't it?
   /wp-admin/install.php shows same dull "white bears and Antarctic ice" page. Even tried it with telnet, it's completely empty, in terms of code... No HTML at all!

   I would be happier, if it would say something sensible, instead of dying silently! It's spooky! =/

   Hey, I am not a paid-full-time-helpline, you know >_<
   For your case:
   a) silly question, but... are you sure PHP is interpreted by your server ?
   b) Could the install file be corrupted ?
   c) Could something be wrong when it links to the DB ?
