 * 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 Matthias, 
   Switzerland

 * 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](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](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.
