 * Hi all,
 * I’m trying to install WordPress on a server running FreeBSD and Apache 2 with
   PHP 5.2.5 and MySQL 5.1.23rc. I’ve uploaded everything and everything looks good,
   but when I open the install.php I get a completely blank page in FireFox and 
   Opera but “This page cannot be displayed” in IE 6 with a footnote of “Cannot 
   find server or DNS error” If I upload the readme.html into the folder I can open
   it without any problems. I have tripple checked that the db login is correct.
   No tables are created into the database. If I put die(“testing”); at the top 
   of the install.php I get that in the browses, so it is finding the file just 
   fine, but somewhere it fails. After placing the die() in several places it seems
   that the html generated by the file is simply not being displayed for some reason.
   When I view the source for the page the only thing that is being sent is the 
   text in the die(), no header, no nothing.
 * Any ideas?
 * Best regards,
