Problem with installing WordPress

  • I have a problem with installing WordPress 2.3 on the site of our school newspaper, I hope someone can help me solve it.
    I’ve downloaded the latest WordPress, configured wp-config.php with the right database values, and uploaded it to a folder on my site.
    However, when I try to install it by visiting the wp-admin/install.php file, all I get is a blank page. But when I enter a false name for the database in the configuration file, I do get a WordPress-page telling me the database isn’t right.

    So in brief: When I visit install.php with the right database, I get a blank page. And when I do it with a false database, I do get a WordPress-page.

    A friend told me he thinks the problem is not our database, but in the WordPress-files. Is he right?
    I hope one of you can help me.
