During installation, after Check Database step: White Screen

During the installation of XOOPS 2.5.1, after clicking next (To Check the Database) at the "Confirm Database Settings" step, the screen turns white and nothing further happens.
-----------------------------------------------------------
confirm database settings
Database Hostname localhost
Database Username root
Database Name xoopsdb
Table Prefix XOOPS

<< restart from the beginning check database >>
-----------------------------------------------------------
I am able to use the database with mysql:

#mysql -u root -p
mysql> use xoopsdb
Database changed
mysql> show tables;
Empty set (0.01 sec)
-----------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone have an idea?

Check this page on the Wiki, and turn on PHP debug, so we can see what breaks the page.

No errors are reported?? Nothing at all? No parse errors or fatal errors? If you do get some of those, please post them here... If all you get is a blank screen WITH debug on, then I'm at a loss....

Re: During installation, after Check Database step: White Screen

Did you use the correct db name/username/password when you installed? Does it match what you used when you created your XOOPS database?

I am having the same issue. I have a server 2003 on my intranet that i use for various things including website development (nothing live). I haven't touched XOOPS or anything in website design for about a year but I had previously had php and MySQL and XOOPS all working. Since then a few things have changed which killed MySQL and stuff but I didn't care since I was not using it. Anyway now I have another project so i am putting it all back togethor. I fixed MySQL and upgraded to php 5. I saw the addressed problems with 5 concerning install and that works fine. However once it installs there is nothing, just a white screen.

I have turned on debugging via MySQL direct and via common.php. Absolutely nothing seems to happen. I have read that MySQL -php errors can be the cause but I know they both are working indepently so I assume they are working togethor...

Any thoughts as to what may be causing this? or ideas on how i can troubleshoot to see if MySQL is the issue.

Having MySQL and PHP working independently doesn't necessarily mean they work together

Take a look at this post. There's some excellent suggestions for testing to see whether the 2 are communicating...
