 * I installed and configured wordpress into a new domain.
    everything went smooth
   until I did this:
 * [http://www.rtaablog.com/WP_1/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.rtaablog.com/WP_1/wp-admin/install.php)
   
   which is the correct path but all I get is a blank webpage and nothing shows 
   in the source either.
 * What am I doing wrong please?

 * Typically, a blank screen during install means you didn’t get a complete and 
   intact set of WordPress files uploaded to your host. Review [Uploading WordPress to a remote host](http://codex.wordpress.org/Uploading_WordPress_to_a_remote_host)
   and make sure you are using ASCII transfer mode in your FTP client.
 * If you have an .htacess file, that too could be causing the problem–rename that
   if necessary.

 * I set up a domain just for this install.
    I use dreamweaver and unzipped wordpress
   directly into the local folder. I changed the config file and than uploaded all
   to my remote server. I do not have an .htaccess on this domain. I have full access
   to database and I have phpadmin I even tried to change loalhost to localhost:
   3306 but that did not help either.
 * I could install wordpress from my server, but I wanted the newest

 * You weren’t getting a Database connection message so changing DB_Host in wp-config.
   php would not have been called for.
 * I’d download WordPress again, unzip the file (don’t use the Windows unzip/decompress
   feature as it sometimes is unreliable–get [7-Zip](http://www.7-zip.org/)). Save
   your wp-config.php file, then delete the WordPress files on your host and then
   reupload the files to your host. Make sure you are using ASCII tranfer mode in
   your FTP client.
