I´m just starting with xoops.

I´m using Windows XP with Apache server 2.0.53.; MySql 4.1 and MySql Administrator, and PHP 5.

I´ve intalled de Apache, configured PHP as CGI and installed MySql. I´ve created a instance for my database and set de permissions right (I think).

After uploading XOOPS do Htdocs i start XOOPS install wizzard. After de Menu were it asks confirmation for the database variables, i get a blank screen.

Can anyone help me.

use the search function in the right column and search for blank page

or read the FAQ section > https://xoops.org/modules/smartfaq/

as it contains all the info you need (probably)

Thanks

Looks like it has something to do with de fact that PHP5 doesn´t support MySql by default.

See the PHP´s home page FAQ's (Database Questions)and take a look at Chapter 6 of Xoop's Install Guide: http://docs.xoops.org/modules/xdocman/manual.php?lang=en&doc=xu-002&file=ch06.html

Haven't tried it though.

Ok

For beginners like me, and for every one who doesn't have a clue about how to start with Xoops, i recomend EasyPHP.
Its a aplication with Apache, PHP, MySQL and PHPMySqlAdmin that's preconfigured. After installing it i solved the blank page installation problem and, finally, i'm starting to test Xoops.

Just google it and have fun.

Howdy,
I posted this in a similar topic, but will put it here to as it worked.

To get rid of the blank page error:

1. don't use php5, use 4.3X
2. If using MySQL 4.1X try this:

I have found that if you use MySQL 4.1X or above you get this blank page error if your MySQL password in less that 16 characters. MySQL 4.1 and above uses a stronger password requirement. You can modify this however to use the old password style. see: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html

Basically, run this:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd')WHERE Host = 'some_host' AND User = 'some_user'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

example:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('abc123')WHERE Host = 'locahost' AND User = 'joe_bloggs'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

This worked for me!!
