 * I have installed WordPress 2.6.3 with no problems. Everything appears to working
   fine apart from wp-admin/categories.php just appears as a blank page.
 * I have tried re-uploading all of the files to see if any were corrupted but this
   hasn’t solved the problem.
 * Any ideas?

 * Blank pages are indicative of a PHP error.
 * Disable your plugins systematically, and refresh the page as you go, to see if
   that fixes it.
 * If you really want to be fancy, turn on debugging. Look inside your wp-settings.
   php for the line that needs to be added to your wp-config.php, in order to do
   so.

 * Thanks your reply 🙂
 * I have alread tried deactivating all of the plugins and I’m still getting the
   same error.
 * I’ll go have a look at debugging to see what I come up with

 * I tried adding a define(‘WP_DEBUG’,true); to my wp-config.php but I’m not seeing
   anything different. Is this correct?

 * Okay, debugging IS working and with my plugins turned ON I’m getting some errors
   in my header.
 * With them turned OFF though I’m getting no errors but still getting a blank page
   on wp-admin/categories.php

 * Did uploading a newly downloaded, fresh copy of that file help?
