Same error Recieved .
I downloaded wordpress-072-gold.tar.gz from sourceforge , and extracted all the files to /var/www/html/ . I created a database named wordpress on another database server and changed the four vars in wp-config.php . I think both my database and php is working fine . For I made a test.php to echo some helloworld messages and my mysql server was used by another application . To my regret , I run wp-install.php only to get a blank page .
I also chmod 777 /var/www/html -r .
//Here is HTML source code of the blank page I got :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN”>
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content=”text/html; charset=gb2312″></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
//End of the source .
//Here is what I using :
RH8.0
Apache
php-4.2.2-8.0.5
mysql Ver 12.21 Distrib 4.0.15
//End of the softwares list
