WordPress 3.1 Installtion on Locahlost -> Blank Page Problem

3. try to access wp-admin/install.php -> blank page

did you have https://localhost/wp-admin/install.php

yes, I had, I just kept it short for the sake of it.

When I try to access https://localhost/server/wordpress/ (my full path to the wordpress folder), then it does NOT automatically take me to the install.php file either, like it normally would, no redirect happens, I simply get (again) a blank page.

I think it needs to be just https://localhost/wodpress if you have wordpress in htdocs

for install you will have
https://localhost/wodpress/wp-admin/install.php

no i have created a special folder for my server files inside htdocs and named it “server”.

I turned on error reporting by adding:

[code]
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
[/code]

into wp-config.php, and it turns out I simply had entered a wrong user name for the database connection, silly me.

Now it’s working.
