    Typically, a blank screen during install means you didn’t get a complete and intact set of WordPress files uploaded to your host. I’d consider downloading a fresh copy of WordPress from the Download tab at the top of this page, then use something like 7-Zip to extract the files. Then reupload the files to your host. Review Uploading WordPress to a remote host and make sure you are using ASCII transfer mode in your FTP client.

    If you have an .htaccess file, that too could be causing the problem–rename that if necessary.

    so the “default” unzip program on my mac may not do the job properly?
    I use Dreamweaver as ftp client. Do you know if i can use ASCII transfer mode there?
    And if i have a .htaccess file, what should i rename it to?
    Thanks!

    Try http://filezilla-project.org/

    Rename it to htaccess.hold – you probably won’t need that file but just in case.

    Copy it to your local computer, then delete it on your host’s computer.

    I’m having a problem with opening this file as well, except I get this error message when it loads: ERROR: %s’), $error); ?>

    The whole page is just code and it doesn’t make too much sense.

    Any ideas?
