# Blank screen when executing install.php

 * I have uploaded all the directories into the root of my domain (/public). I configured
   the wp-config.php file as instructed by the 5 minute install guide. Once I kick
   of the install.php file, I get no errors just a blank screen and I.E. says “done”.
   Has anyone ever seen this problem or can offer some assistance. Thanks in advance!

 * All of the directories are set to Read and Execute (owner, group, and other).
   This is a very odd problem… Maybe I’ll have to delete all of the WP files and
   attempt to upload them again. If only I could get the configuration wizard to
   appear.

 * Were the files uploaded as ascii files?

 * Yes, they were. After reading through some more of the forums, I came across 
   the option to configure the wp-config.php via my web browser. I gave that a try
   and the wizard finally opened… well, at least the first page did. I was able 
   to put in my database connection settings and click submit to take me to the 
   next page, but all that appears is the WordPress logo on the page. This is the
   step listed in the URL: [http://www.norton-spencer.com/nsblog/wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=2](http://www.norton-spencer.com/nsblog/wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=2)
 * I cannot seem to get past this step. Thanks in advance.
