What to do when installer is (partly) blank? (6 posts)

    I've been running wpmu for long time, never had any problems installing but this time on my first try with VPS is driving me crazy.

    Installer's first page aka Step 1 shows properly. But it doesn't go to Step 2, or even if I type in wrong database name or password to generate error popups, it returns blank.

    Wpmu and wp-content are now 777. Apache, PHP, MySQL running properly so far. What are the options, or where should I look further when this problem happens?

    Blank scree = error.

    Check the error logs. They may be in the etc/httpd/logs folder, depending on your OS.

    can't find error yet. Only ones I have is that some stupid error with favicon, which I don't have anything on my clean install environment...

    WordPress is too genius, that something like this happens rarely, so we're not ready to solve this. ;)

    favicon errors are the apache error log, you need your php error log

    I'm using CentOS, after googling I found out by default CentOS generates php error logs on /var/log/httpd/error_log. But when I took a look, there're no php errors reported so far.

    Just in case I've also increased php memory limit to 50, but that doesn't seem to change or solve this problem.

    I got this solved by installing phpmyadmin. Wonder how phpmyadmin relates to this problem though... I had databases created without phpmyadmin at first time, using ispmanager pro.

    n/w thanks everyone for your input.
