installing 4.6.1 not working

    I had problems with WSOD in the admin area after upgrading my sites from 4.5.4 to 4.6 and 4.6.1.
    So I put a new, clean installation on my server – BUT install.php shows the white page – when I change to 4.5.4 – there is no problem installing the site.

    Server is FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p10, running PHPH5.6 MariaDB 10.0.27 and the older Versions of WordPress have worked problem free.

    Nothing to find in error logs.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Have you tried MANUALLY updating:
    – Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Please read the Manual Update directions first.
    – Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups!

    Thanks, but I did not ask about the updates. My question was: Why can’t I install a WP 4.6.1 (WSOD in install.php) on the same server I can install 4.5.4?

    Not working: 4.6.1
    Working: delete the wordpress files from 4.6.1, upload WP 4.5.4 ( also from wordpress.org) start installing….

    Have you tried MANUALLY updating:

    yes – that did not work out either – so I tried a clean installation

    Please read the Manual Update directions first.

    Sorry to comment on that – but I have two sites running on the server and I am working with and installing wordpress sites for 3 years now. It is not that I have never done that before.

    Update: Managed install of clean 4.6.1 BUT still WSOD on wp-admin/index-php!
    Can acces Admin via plugins.php – but dashboard yields white screen….
