 * To solve the **non execution of PHP files **and the subsequent **“white/blank
   page”** – I did the following:
 * I added the following line of code in the apache httpd.conf file to automatically
   execute index.php files:
    `DirectoryIndex index.php index.html` With this entry–
   Apache loads automatically index.php files
 * I then checked whether WordPress Installation is doing something in the database.
   I figured out that my DB setting is not on UTF-8 –> changing the **DB setting
   to UTF-8 solved ** the problem with the “white/blank page” page.

 * I followed the 5min install manual for wordpress but when trying to execute the
   wp-admin/install.php script (step 5) it does not execute. It only shows the content
   of the script.
    However, when executing the `<?php phpinfo(); ?>` I see the processed
   output – this php file is executed. I’m running the following configuration: 
   Windows XP, Apache 2.0.63, PHP 5.3.1 and MySql 5.1.
 * I configured Apache/PHP as module – this is the httpd.conf entry I made:
 *     ```
       LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2.dll
       AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
       AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
       PHPIniDir "C:/php"
       ```
   
 * Thanks for any suggestion on how to get this problem solved.
