No tables created when wp-admin/install.php is executed

Hi!

I’m trying to set up wp with php and mysql locally on my Windows computer. I’m using version 5.3.3 of PHP (win32, non thread safe version) and 2.2.17 of Apache.

I have created a database named wp and a user named wp with all the privileges for the wp database. I can log in to mysql from the command line using user wp and create tables for the wp database (I of course removed them also).

In my wp-config.php file I have the following settings:

define('DB_NAME', 'wp');
define('DB_USER', 'wp');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '--------------------');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

When I execute the wp-admin/install.php file no tables are created. The browser first says “connecting to localhost”, then “waiting for localhost” and after about 60s it says ”done”. No content is displayed. No error message is displayed, just a blank page. The result is the same no matter if mysql is started or stopped.

I run mysql on port 3306. I have changed the DB_HOST setting to localhost:3306, but the result is the same.

I’m a newbie at wp, php, and mysql. Where can I check logs? Any suggestions on what’s wrong?
Best regards
