# php files don’t work

 * When I try to run the install.php file, I get a blank screen. I can create my
   own php files, and they work fine. I can also create HTML files and they work
   fine. However, the files created by wordpress do not work at all. I have checked
   my permissions a million times and they are fine.

 * What web browser are you using? I’ve heard of certain web browsers having problems
   with WP files. Try something like Firefox or (gulp) IE and see if it still exists.
   Alternatively, post a link and someone here can look at it.
