Running WordPress in a IDE runtime

Hi,

I am currently testing my iPad PHP IDE (DraftCode) which works great for all sorts of normal web applications (like flatpress, havalite etc) with more advanced php applications like WordPress. Apart from debugging purposes I would personally love to run WordPress offline on my iPad for theme development… so I would really like to be able to get it to work.

I am encountering installation problems which might be caused by a rare bug in my runtime, but in order to understand the issue I am hoping for some help from people who know the wordpress PHP code inside out.

Here is the symptom:

The wordpress installer works great, and I can also log into the admin panel and use it.
I however cannot load the actual wordpress homepage.
The loading sends its requests to 127.0.0.1/wordpress/index,php but then stops with a blank page.

I enabled wp_debug and it only shows one error regarding class_http.php attempting a connection to the local webserver port (which in this case does not exist, as it is a runtime and does not allow port connections).
I am however not sure if this error is related to my problem.

So my question would be: How do I best debug the process behind loading the wordpress website? Is the fact that a tcp request to 127.0.0.1 80 would fail an explanation for this issue?

Any help or hints would be very much appreciated. If there is somebody interested in trying it out on his iPad, I am happy to give away free licenses for DraftCode.

Thanks and Cheers
